30 Years Later

There is something in a liberals DNA that is just not right.......
Reagan's War? Or just another leftist hatchet job?

On the face of it, the Iranians achieved what they wanted. President Jimmy Carter had labored with key advisers through the last night of his presidency, desperately trying to bring about the hostages' release before Ronald Reagan was sworn in as the 40th president. The Iranians, though, were determined to humiliate our 39th president and were not about to free the captives on Carter's watch.

Ted Koppel and the left make their living deceiving readers and viewers. Now rewriting history is the only way left to save what little dignity they have.

The Iranians stage-managed the drama down to the last second. Precisely at noon, just as Reagan began to recite the oath of office, the planeload of Americans was permitted to take off. The Iranians' message was blunt and unambiguous: Carter and his administration had been punished for America's sins against Iran, and Reagan was being offered a conciliatory gesture in anticipation of improved behavior by Washington.

That was hardly the interpretation that the Reagan administration put on the event. The new president portrayed the hostage release as a long-overdue act by which the Iranians acknowledged the obvious: There was a new sheriff in town. The feckless days of the Carter administration were over, and the Iranian mullahs had bowed to the inevitable. Indeed, the administration seemed to be saying that Iran's greatest concern was now the possibility of U.S. retaliation for the humiliation of the preceding 444 days. 

You and yours don't get it Ted. There was a new sheriff in town! 
                                   
                                 
Now you want drag up 30 year old Iran/Contra drivel to throw some more water, urine on one of the greatest Presidents in history?
Rewriting history must be the "last best hope" for liberalism.
