Which part of reading comprehension did you fail?Because they didnt have the money. Duh.Repeating yourself isnt arguing. You are still wrong.
Carter was too afraid to order decisive action and as a result appeared weak and vacillating. When he did finally order military action it was a total clusterfuck.
The Iranians appreciated strength and despised weakness. They still do. So their fear of Reagan led them to release the hostages.
Complete fucking bullshit. You live in a fucking Marvel Comic book.
The hostages were released under the terms of a treaty worked out over a couple of months It's a real document with signatures on it. And none of those signatures is Reagan's or any of his people. Warren Christopher got it done. It would have happened on the 19th if the airport was operational at night.
Countries in the real world (qv) don't just up and take actions because they "like" or "don't like" who got elected six thousand miles away. The world hasn't worked that way since the week after the wheel was invented. You're a fucking retard.
Giveaway of the Panama Canal.
"Giveaway" huh?
Diga me Tonto -- where did we "get" Panama?
For that matter where did Panama come from?
The Algiers Accord is not a treaty. It came down to Carter paying off the Iranians for taking over the US Embassy and holding US hostages.
“The negotiations resulted in the "Algiers Accords" ]of January 19, 1981. The Algiers Accords called for Iran's immediate freeing of the hostages, the unfreezing of $7.9 billion of Iranian assets and immunity from lawsuits Iran might have faced in America, and a pledge by the United States that "it is and from now on will be the policy of the United States not to intervene, directly or indirectly, politically or militarily, in Iran's internal affairs". The Accords also created the Iran – United States Claims Tribunal, and Iran deposited $1 billion in an escrow account to satisfy claims adjudicated by the Tribunal in favor of American businesses that had lost assets after the hostage takeover. The Tribunal closed to new claims by private individuals on January 19, 1982.”
How is releasing their own assets paying them off?
Now Obozo is doing it again: releasing billions of dollars even while Iran has judgements against it from US citizens that it refuses to pay.
Obama has sold out to the Iranians.
So...
Iran seizes hostages and we seize their money in retaliation
Iran releases hostages and you think we should keep the money
Why should we pay Iran all their money when they have outstanding claims against them by Americans?
