Jimmy Carter Defends 'Peace Not Apartheid'

[2live is 2fly]

47. Intelligence briefings from 43 +, years ago. Of course maybe thats relatable to his book as I

haven't read it. I do know those intel. briefings didn't help him with what happened at the American Embassy in 1979, or his response to it. IMHO he could've played more into negotiating some basic American two party system facts.

Like it was Republican Eisenhower who helped Churchill disgrace & negate Irans election in the early 50's, (the Mossedeh coup) helping to install the Shah's brutal regime. A move that Churchill (British Petroleum) requested first from (Democrat) Truman & our relaively new CIA, which Truman flat out refused to go along with. Along with the fact it was he Democrat) Carter who initiated withdrawing support from the Shah.

Why would the Iranian students (who took the Embassy) want to harm the American political party thats always believed in a countries right to self determination and help the party (Reagans' party) that's done nothing but promote dictators like the Shah?

And if negotiations weren't working, then he should've began massing troops. Then maybe we could've prevented 8-years of Reagan & 4-years of Bush Sr.
