Oh! You FORGOT! That was AFTER Jimmy had said he would never use force to rescue the hostages! Remember that? That floored me. A President in a situation like that should never even consider such a statement. You want them quaking in their boots every day afraid that you will launch if they DON'T let them loose. he might have felt more compelled to try another rescue Carter thought the world was Sunday School and he was its teacher. But he opted for continued diplomacy, which in the end, resulted in their release Gee, I thought that the liberal party line was that the Reagan administration bought their freedom with weapons through Iran-Contra. OTOH, maybe the truth is that they saw a MAN coming into the WH and thought maybe those particular potatoes were a bit TOO hot. Reagan did nothing except get sworn in, and the hostages were released Yeah. Because they were worried that his first order might be "Launch!" That's part of what I mean by being preceded by bad foreign policy, the same kind that installs the Shah in Iran after a bloody coup. So just which Republican President between LBJ and Carter installed the Shah?
