Carter was a weak fool and it took electing Reagan to get the Iranian hostages released. At least Carter didn’t pay the hostage takers. Obama’s “argument” for not tying the current hostages to the trade deal is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. “If we asked for the detainees, Iran would have known they were important and they might have asked for additional concessions.” As if there were anything left for Iran to demand other than death to the Great Satan.
