I remember seeing the report on the CBS Evening News about the Iranians seizing control of the embassy. Many of us still remember the crisis...sadly, most of America has forgotten or weren't around.

If we had had a strong man in the White House, these little PUNKS who took our people hostage would have been dealt with swiftly.

Now, one of those criminals is the Holocaust-denying, Israel-hating, Nuclear-bomb-hunting President of Iran!

Make no mistake, folks: the problems we're having in the Middle East today are, in a big way, due to the feckless milquetoast Jimmy Carter.

Not too 'Ken Burns', right?

I guess my education is getting pretty antique, old math vs. new math, whatever. Every time I add it up, I come up with 28 years back to Nov 79.

There's a new documentary deifying Jimmah that was reviewed last night on "Ebert & Roeper," and it was so one-sided and leftwing, even the New York Times critic filling in for Ebert gave it thumbs down, saying it was more a promotional piece than a documentary.

They showed a short clip of Jimmah talking from it, and in just 10 seconds or so, he managed to drop my jaw to the floor. He said (quoting from memory here), "I decided that diplomacy was the best option for dealing with the Iranian crisis. Because of that diplomacy, all the hostages were released unharmed, and not one Iranian was killed."

Left out of this staggeringly revisionist recollection were the facts that his "diplomacy" kept our people held hostage for 444 days until it miraculously got them released on the very day of Ronald Reagan's inauguration, plus he did try to use military force to rescue them and botched it into an embarrassing disaster, plus he handed over the oil rich Iran to a bunch of Islamofascist nutjobs who have been responsable for countless deaths since then, no doubt many of them Iranians.

Other than that, he's a genius and a saint. Pass me the barf bag.

Meanwhile, here's a low-person-density collection of Iran pix. Be forewarned: too colorful to believe. They look photoshopped.

I remember it all too well—the opening salvo of WW IV—and the goober-in-Chief did nothing except roll over.

SHAME...AND WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR HIS COWARDICE!

Since today is November 4, the anniversary of this crisis, let’s BOMB IRAN! It would’ve been the perfect day to do so.

P.S. 28 years later and Ahmadinejad STILL looks like an evil little monkey!

...oh yeah, to illustrate the agenda in the public school system these days, I had never even HEARD of the Iranian hostage crisis until I watched the movie Miracle where it was mentioned. The leftists don’t want us to know the failures of their incompetent presidents. After all, the 1979 hostage crisis was probably Bush’ fault! /s

Just watched a show last night about the Israeli rescue mission at Entebbe which happened not too long before our own hostage crisis. They were amazingly clever about their attack, even though things didn’t go exactly according to plan, and they only lost one hostage. I’m not sure how much Jimmah was involved in the planning, but maybe he should have asked the Israelis for help.

And he was rewarded with the frickin’ “peace” prize.

You couldn’t make this stuff up.

Oh, but, hey, the White House tennis court schedule was a thing of beauty.
