#3 The author never mentioned the five guys that were HALOed into the mountains behind Teheran at night to set up links for the rescuers. Jumped out of a jet at 25,000 ft, chutes opened at 500 ft AGL. One guy's chute didn't open and he died. The other four were abandoned by Jimmuh, who did not allow a pickup. They escaped and evaded across Iran for four terrifying and arduous months until they got to Afghanistan. We can thank Jimmuh for the problems with Iran today. Romeo Bravo.

#5 Every time Carter speaks we should throw Iran and Afghanistan in his stinking face. Moral giant? I think he's a cretin and incompetent pissant who never have been Peter-Principled to president had it not been for Watergate and a agenda-driven journalistic pack. PTUI!

#6 I was 14 yrs old when Carter was elected president and I as a youth thought he was the worst president alive and was so damn glad when he lost after his first term. That man is a disgrace and the worst president I have ever known.

#7 Heaven help me, I voted for him his first term. I was young, stupid, and voting for the first time. Four years later, I made it an absolute point to be back in the United States so I could vote against him. Four more years with him at the helm and the Communists would have won the Cold War and America would be a Third World country. What a contemptible President he turned out to be!

#8 It's ok Mac, it's ok. Don't be so hard on yourself The blessed Virgin accepts your confession. Now depart, say 10 Hail Mary's and sin no more, ie., vote for another donk dem as long as you live.
