The guy is at least partially right.

Jimmy Carter and his "Dr. Strangelove", Zbigniew Brzenski (and God only knows if I spelled it correctly) did "play the Islamic card" against the Soviet Union, inadvertently setting in motion the overthrow of the Shah, the rise of the Taliban, and the strengthening of all sorts of loony, murderous, Muslim nut-jobs. But, doing little if anything to hasten the demise of the Soviet Union. That had to wait for someone who knew what he was doing - the incomparable Ronald Reagan.

It proves once again that just because a "Jimmy" can make a monster doesn't mean he can control one.
