Liar. Carter did not embolden the Iranian revolution, it was well underway when he took power and then and now we have no real military options in Iran. Reagan didn't do anything about it either. Nor did Bush Sr. In fact Reagan-Bush supplied tons and tons of sophisticated arms to Iran, as well as to Saddam. Carter also inherited the post-Vietnam devastated US military and huge war debts, the same type of situation Bush's successor will inherit. That makes it very hard to be aggressive militarily. Our military typically needs about five years of recovery after a war which depletes our forces and equipment that much. After Vietnam, it took even longer.
