Remember when Iran held American citizens hostage?

[Lesh]

Yes hey both were.

Neither one claimed first hand knowledge.

Barnes specifically tried to claim what was said in rooms which was not present in. By definition that is second hand.

Bani Sadr also claimed no direct involvement just hearsay knowledge

Barnes was in the negotiations…

 

[Auld Phart]

Again… what did Carter do wrong?

he ordered the operation.

 

[badbob85037]

They just wanted to screw Carter
Reagan had nothing to do with it

Carter never needed any help being screwed.

 

[Lesh]

he ordered the operation.

So ordering a rescue attempt is bad????

 

[Soupnazi630]

Barnes was in the negotiations…

No he was not and clearly stated so. He stated only that he traveled to the same location but was never in the room HIS WORDS

how bout you stop deflecting, and face the fact, he ordered it, it failed, he gets the blame.

Does anyone remember the Iranian hostage crisis under Jimmy Carter? The news covered it 24/7, and the inability of Carter to do anything about it, along with the massive inflation, basically took him down politically as a one termer.

Today? Today Iran still has American hostages, via Hamas in Israel. Hamas murdered and tood American hostages and are an appendage of Iran, yet the media ignores it todsay. As for inflation, yea, that's not much better either yet the media and voters seem not to care as they once did.

If the American voter has become incapable of voting for their own welfare, and the welfare of their country, then democracy fails us all.

To Jimmy Carter's credit, he did attempt a rescue effort to free the hostage, which unfortunately failed

Iran hostage rescue mission ends in disaster

On April 24, 1980, an ill-fated military operation to rescue the 52 American hostages held in Tehran ends with eight U.S. servicemen dead and no hostages rescued. With the Iran Hostage Crisis stretching into its sixth month and all diplomatic appeals to the Iranian government ending in failure...

But we live in a world today where the DNC literally does not give a damn about American citizens whatsoever to even try that.

Perhaps people don't care because Iran involved US diplomats and service people.

He ordered a rescue attempt.

That's a good thing.

Reagan made a deal with Iran (before he was President) that kept them in Iran for MONTHS longer than they should have

No he was not and clearly stated so. He stated only that he traveled to the same location but was never in the room HIS WORDS

Really? That's what the article I posted said

Post "those words"

 

[Harpy Eagle]

maybe they saw this the first week of November:

Carter (D) 49
Reagan (R) 489

and saw the writing on the wall.

Or maybe Reagan's team negotiated with them prior to winning the election

 

[Soupnazi630]

Barnes was in the negotiations…

No he was not. He stated strictly that he traveled to the locatiuon he did not sit in on any negotiations

 

[Soupnazi630]

Really? That's what the article I posted said

No it is not

 

[Lesh]

No he was not. He stated strictly that he traveled to the locatiuon he did not sit in on any negotiations

Copy and paste that from the article then

 

[Moonglow]

The day of Reagans inauguration the Iranians released the hostages.

Sometimes all it takes is the right leadership.

The release deal was negotiated by the Carter administration

 

[Soupnazi630]

Copy and paste that from the article them

Pay attention to detail
