        .@BeschlossDC Carter didn't succeed since unlike Reagan he thought "we don't negotiate w/ terrorists" meant we don't negotiate w/ terrorists

        .@DostoevskyGhost You may want to Google "Iran-Contra". The best your man of *respect* could do was plead ignorance & senility.

        @DostoevskyGhost 1) Nixon won 49 states too 2) Iran-Contra came to light in Reagan's 2nd term 3) Google "October Surprise" & try not to cry.

        @BeschlossDC Prez Carter negotiated the release of all and gave up nothing except Iran's frozen assets.

        @BeschlossDC @JonahNRO Carter's approval of that raid was a damned tough call. Like his naval service and farm, I respect him for that.
