For it was a Democratic President, Jimmy Carter, who presided over the seizure of power in Tehran by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, with a mixture of ineptitude and admiration. And it was Carter’s National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who oversaw this disastrous foreign policy. Instead of the improved relations the Carter Administration predicted, the Iranians seized our diplomats, who were forced to endure 444 days of captivity. They were only released after the Carter Administration negotiated a considerable ransom, when Ronald Reagan was about to be inaugurated.

Damn.

I knwo the GOP usually hits hard only the few months before an election. But for the Reps, this is practically going nuclear. Then Boehner's statements that Dems would rather protect terrorists then Americans on top?

I mean, I like it. Really like it. But where did these Republicans come from? They are saying stuff we'd say. Rush would say. And not apologizing for it.

It is more than about time they brought Carter into this though, and started to trace the timeline of events for the American people that think this started 9-11. Uh-uh. This has always been a problem, but it was carter that really fumbled the ball and its spiraled ever since.
