What a dumbass.

The sentence for one of their criminals last year was to throw him off a cliff. They’re still savage in their hearts.

You didn't know the meaning of rational in 1979 and you still don't know the meaning of rational.

it depends on what you mean by "rational."

Carter is the one who sold out the Shah and gave Iran to the Mullahs. They rewarded him by taking our embassy employees hostage until he left office. This guy is a nut case.

They are rational people like all of us in this room. Do they want to commit suicide? I would guess not. So what we have to do is talk with them now and say to them we want to be their friends

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Jimmuh has peanuts for brains!

No. 1, Jimmuh you're not a rational guy......... if you were you'd know that the Iranian government lacks rationality.

No 2., Becoming friends with people that are killing our troops, funding terrorism throughout the world, building nuclear bombs, and threatening to wipe us and Israel off the map is not very smart or rational. It's suicidal!!!!

With friends like Iran who needs enemies?!?

I think he’s getting the words “rational” and “radical” mixed up in his silly head.

Jimmy isnow and always has been in league with the Mullahs. He allowed the embassy take over while talking with them.

He still doesn’t realize that talking produces death.

When you’re senile, it’s hard to pay attention.

Amazing how differently Carter wanted to treat the Shah, South Africa, Rhodesia, Israel, Somoza Nicaragua, etc. After all . . . they weren't perfect!

Only America's enemies need not be perfect, apparently.

Do they want to commit suicide? The hidden Imam commands they commit suicide in order to hasten his return. Anybody who listens to Ammanutjob would realize he is serious.

I just can’t get over the GALL of this man. For such a failed president to be about, bleating about what HE thinks we should do makes me want to scream. Can’t his handlers CONTROL him? Is he completely unaware of what the majority of Americans THINK of him?

Oh my stars, will this damn fool ever shut his face? He is the last person on Earth who ought to be dispensing advice on how to deal with Iran.

Actually, he is a vain and bitter man. He absolutely cannot stand that he is thought of as such a bad president. He also is extremely jealous of how Nixon rehabilitated himself after leaving office. He cannot stand it period. He is so vain that when gets on an airliner he ‘personally’ walks up and down the aisle ‘shaking’ everyone’s hand. I know, because I had the misfortune to have him offer his hand to me on a Delta Flight to DC. He was an extremely bad governor, and he was worse as a president. He has however, been a particularly effective traitor.

“Iran, which he (Carter) described as a “rational” nation.”

Is Iran more or less rationale than when Jimmy Carter took office?

At that time, Iran was run by the Shah of Iran, an American ally. American allies were seldom good enough for Carter. He undermined the Shah, who was replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini. Khomeini was anti-American and anti-Western - just the kind of dictator beloved by the American left. Khomeini radicalized Islam, returning it to its Muslim supremacist roots. Almost all subsequent Islamic terrorism traces its roots to Khomeini’s influence, and one step removed, Carter’s influence. Carter is in no position to lecture anyone about Iran.

In accord with the pleasant US-Iran relations then-existing, President Carter spent New Year's Eve in 1977 with the Shah and toasted Iran as "an island of stability in one of the more troubled areas of the world".
1977

On November 4, 1979, an angry mob of young Islamic revolutionaries overran the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking more than sixty Americans hostage. "From the moment the hostages were seized until they were released minutes after Ronald Reagan took the oath of office as president 444 days later," wrote historian Gaddis Smith, "the crisis absorbed more concentrated effort by American officials and had more extensive coverage on television and in the press than any other event since World War II."
1979
