Carter did it! ...So I guess Joe can do it too!
Can't blame slo jo/Walter for this. It was Mother Nature that put the whammy on a bunch of refineries. I thought it was the Arabs, not Carter, that did it back then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just a bit of history...
1) Carter would not support the Shah, who was in our pocket.
2) Instead, Carter favored the Ayatollah, who was holed up in Paris at the time, preaching Wahabi hatred.
3) By not helping the Shah, Carter opened the gates in Iran for the radical Muslim cleric to return there.
4) The Ayatollah wanted to get hold of the Shah, so he could torture him.
5) Carter had enough conscience to protect the Shah from torture.
6) This got the Ayatollah p_ _ _ _ _d off, so he (his stooges) took the entire American embassy hostage.
7) Carter sent an ill fated rescue mission, which failed because the Carter administration has scrimped funds for the military so badly, that the Spec Ops units were out of practice, for lack of training and the aircraft were so badly maintained, that they crashed on the mission.
eight) Iran showed so much power against the US, that OPEC was willing to follow their lead..and raised oil prices.
The whole thing could have been avoided, had the Carter administration encouraged oil exploration and discovery
here, and opened up the ANWR oil fields.
Pres Reagan followed hapless Jimmy..and showed everyone how to deal with blustering "holy men" ! After 444 days as captives, the hostages were taking off from Teheran airport as Pres Reagan was taking his oath of office. Th eAyatollah felt sure that the presidet (Cowboy) would immediately turn and sic the US forces upon him.
...But of course, Joe Biden and the duma-crats STILL don't "get it"! Joe is still trying to 'butter up' the Ayatollahs in Iran, who often torture their own people ! ...And the Ayatollah is again in the driver's seat !
