Gordon,

My analogy was intended to point out that when it comes to hostages, forget your pride.

Bush Sr's pride was very hurt by his arch-enemies Wyatt and Connally going to Iraq and freeing the hostages, yet it allowed Bush to proceed with his military campaign.

Reagan got the hostages out of Iran by some shady deal, but who cares?

Get the hostage crisis over, and then you have freedom to take action.
