We just don't get it. The Left in America is screaming to high heaven that the mess we are in in Iraq and the war on terrorism has been caused by the right-wing and that George W. Bush, the so-called "dim-witted cowboy," has created the entire mess.

The truth is the entire nightmare can be traced back to the liberal democratic policies of the leftist Jimmy Carter, who created a firestorm that destabilized our greatest ally in the Muslim world, the shah of Iran, in favor of a religious fanatic, the Ayatollah Khomeini

[To this day, former Carter administration officials maintain that Washington - despite being sharply divided over the course of action - stood firm behind the Shah and his government.

But the documents show more nuanced US behaviour behind the scenes. Only two days after the Shah departed Tehran, the US told a Khomeini envoy that they were - in principle - open to the idea of changing the Iranian constitution, effectively abolishing the monarchy. And they gave the ayatollah a key piece of information - Iranian military leaders were flexible about their political future…

The White House feared an Iranian civil war that would have major implications for US strategic interests…It was less alarmed by the rise of Khomeini, and the downfall of the Shah.

On 9 November 1978, in a now-famous cable, "Thinking the Unthinkable," the US ambassador to Iran, William Sullivan, warned that the Shah was doomed. He argued that Washington should get the Shah and his top generals out of Iran, and then make a deal between junior commanders and Khomeini.

…by early January, the reluctant president concluded that the Shah's departure was necessary to calm the opposition.

Amid reports of an impending military coup, the president summoned his top advisors on 3 January. After a brief discussion, they decided to subtly encourage the Shah to leave, ostensibly for a vacation in California.
"A genuinely non-aligned Iran need not be viewed as a US setback," the president said, according to minutes of the meeting.]

Oh Jimmy you sweet idiot…

He's the worst POTUS ever. What a mess he made, although Biden gave him a run for the money.

Absolutely. Never forget that Jimmy Carter’s response to the fatwa on Salman Rushdie was to suggest that Rushdie deserved it. https://t.co/YWbEqWtBRa

For being a fundamentally decent man…we often forget how horrible Jimmy Carter was at almost everything as a leader

Terrible judgment all around…

-Jim Jones was Rosalynn Carter's "spiritual advisor". This gave Jones connections in CA (and national) Dem politics.
-Mayor Moscone—a Carter ally—then illegally appointed Jones the Housing Commissioner of San Francisco.
-When Jones' rape victims spoke out, he abused his office… pic.twitter.com/Mel6zNKzSE

jimmy carter is responsible for a lot of pretty awful things that get a lot more attention but we should not lose sight of the fact that he was also responsible for starting a raccoon rabies epidemic that we never really stopped pic.twitter.com/Tya37ingFU

Creation of the US Department of Education was a failed re-election ploy of Jimmy Carter,

but now we are stuck with what amounts to a national school board composed of 4,000 nameless bureaucrats.

Let’s empower teachers and parents by ending the “national school board.” pic.twitter.com/Wx9TECXmyQ

How funny. I forgot about the rabies thing, but it was a big deal in the late 70s. I remember we had traps in the backyard, and caught a ton of raccoons, and my parents were really scarred that I might get bit by one of them. Forgot all about that.

Biden was braindead.... but the Autopen definitely gave Carter a run for the money.
