42. Carter paid for his decision, primary reason he lost to Rayguns

Tue May 1, 2012, 05:00 PM

May 2012

The failure of Desert One fell on Carter. Rummy, et al say that the professionals deserve the applause for OBL, but Jimmy got all the blame when the joint services crashed out in the desert.

Their guy got several assurances from the parent Bain company for a no-fault startup before he agreed to "found" his successful outfit, Mitt is extremely risk averse. His success is based on using other people's money to strip other people's companies of their assets and pensions then he pockets millions in consulting fees as capital gains.
