Instead, President Carter used diplomacy to try to get the hostages freed.
Then the next year, in 1980, Saint Ronnie -- the B-rate has-been actor that all of the Republicans thought never did anything wrong -- said "public criticism of the President of the United States during the campaign stops at the water's edge."
In other words, foreign policy was off the table while Reagan ran for President.
Then about 5 minutes later, Reagan started bashing President Carter over his way of handling the Iranian hostage situation.
Cheney is a hypocrite, just like Reagan, just like their hero, Nixon.
Reagan never said a bad word publicly about Nixon.
Reagan may not have liked him, but he never criticized him.
Because he wanted Nixon's donors and supporters to support him later on, when he ran for President.
While Cheney adored Nixon, even worked for him; thought that Nixon was just great.
Yeah, great, sure, yeah, right.
The only President to ever resign from the office of the President!!!!!
Nixon was a great crook, that's for sure.
A great loser, a great big mistake!!!
On top of which, Nixon was an anti-Semite!
While talking to H.R. Haldeman one day, Nixon referred to Kissinger "as a Jew", and that conversation was recorded in the infamous White House tapes.
As if Kissinger being Jewish somehow made any difference whatsoever in Kissinger's advice to Tricky Dick!!
