Carter did all right with Iran.
It was not his fault that the hostage rescue ended up in tragedy.


You must be nuts.

Carter's mishandling of Iran was a total disaster. Not only the failure of the rescue (remember, Ross Perot, a private individual, was successful in HIS rescue) -- but the weakness in dealing with Iran is at the root of many problems we face today.

Moreover, his willy-nilly firing of CIA operatives who were very well placed was a bungle that set our intelligence gathering back 20 years.

Not to mention the domestic crisis he left us in -- still today, the highest "misery index" ever experienced in this country.


The real tragedy was when Reagan's team, of Ollie North and associates made a deal with Iran that they would supply them with weapons if they didn't release the embassy hostages until after the election.


There is no nice way to put it. That is an outright lie. Made up. Conjured by someone who hasn't the slightest idea what the facts are, or doesn't give a damn.
