Without Reagan's Treason, Iran Would Not Be a Problem

and without Saint Raygun we'd likely not be suffering many of the evils we are today.

Behind Carter's back, the Reagan campaign worked out a deal with the leader of Iran's radical faction - Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini - to keep the hostages in captivity until after the 1980 Presidential election.

This was nothing short of treason. The Reagan campaign's secret negotiations with Khomeini - the so-called "October Surprise" - sabotaged Carter and Bani-Sadr's attempts to free the hostages. And as Bani-Sadr told The Christian Science Monitor in March of this year, they most certainly "tipped the results of the [1980] election in Reagan's favor."

Not surprisingly, Iran released the hostages on January 20, 1981, at the exact moment Ronald Reagan was sworn into office.

The "October Surprise" emboldened the radical forces inside Iran. A politically weakened Bani-Sadr was overthrown in June of 1981 and replaced with Mohammed Ali Rajai - a favorite of Khomeini's. These radical forces today are represented by people like former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, hard-liners who oppose any deal with the United States and, like Khomeini in the 1980s, will jump at any chance to discredit the current moderate presidency of Hassan Rouhani. http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/20287-without-reagans-treason-iran-would-not-be-a-problem​
 
And it is just as likely that the Reagan representatives said, "If we win this election, you mofo's are going to lose a war."

This whole article is supposition. You have to be a congenital conspiracy theorist to buy into it.

Really? You're citing Bani-Sadr? What a joke.

So, is it historically incorrect to note that under the carter administration, and prior to the overthrow that brought Khomeini to power in December 1978...that the US was building up Irans arsenals under the then Shah Pahlavi?
 
somebody is mad because Iran wont deal with Democrats and Carter's failure in Iran is so eeeeeerily similar to the Obamao experience.
 
I wouldn't give Ronnie credit for George H. W. Bush's work. He probably didn't even know that it was happening. Based upon his own testimony, if he was aware of the deal with Iran, then he couldn't recall it. Of course, at the time, we didn't know that Reagan was suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.
 
well NS, my recollection is that he didn't really start showing any clinical signs of be effected by it until 3-4 years of his presidency, so I wouldn't be so quick to grant him a pass on the matter.

Mr. Carter ended the protection of the Iranian oil fields that was initiated by Eisenhower back in the late 50's. That is why the students were taken hostage. You know what The Ray Goon treaty was for to Iran? To protect the oil fields from Iraq. Then Iraq got into the oil drilling and there was no need to take from Iran.

So you explain one of Carter's follies...I just dont ever remember the phony gas crises happenning under Reagan...just Mr. Jimmy "I was Lt governor for segregationist Maddox and never opposed his policies" Carter. Wasnt Jimmah a "nuculer scientist"in his day?

The Raygoon sent back troops to protect the oil fields. He also armed Saddam so the two nations could exterminate each other. What happened is the two nations eventually said [Unwelcome language removed] you to Amerika.
