Taheri certainly tears Clinton a new one, and with nothing but the facts mam, just the facts.
What Clinton conveniently forgot in his flippant remark about being 'driven' into the camp of Saddam Hussein, is that it was his mush-mouth-talking fellow 'Rat Jimmy Carter who sent his National Security Advisor Brezinski to Amman Jordan in 1980 to convey the message to Saddam's representatives that the U.S. wouldn't be heartbroken if Iraq were to invade and annex part of Iran's territory. This was just a ham-handed attempt on the part of Carter to try and pressure Tehran after Carter found himself totally without a clue of how to deal with the mullahs and the students in Iran holding our people hostage.
The tilt (temporary tilt) to Iraq was made necessary because Carter had stabbed the Shah in the back, greased the skids for the Assahollah Khomeini and his numnutz radicals to seize power, and by the time Reagan arrived on the scene, the U.S. was obligated to assist Iraq in it's war against Iran not because we thought Saddam was the 'good guy' but because the alternative would be to have let Iran conquer Iraq (something they were poised to do), which would have led to Tehran becoming the dominant Middle East power, and certainly in control of most of the oil. Other Arab states like Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc., would certainliy have fallen victim to Islamic radical movements inspired by Tehran.
Jimmy Carter, marinaded in hubris, blinded by his own arrogance, thought that after getting his lucky shot with Begin and Sadat at Camp David, that he was untouchable so far as remaking the Middle East in his own naive and altruistic image. Bill Clinton, who (based on his comments from this article) is clearly dumb as a bag o' hammers when it comes to his perceptions of what is, and is not true about Iran and the Middle East in general.
Carter and Clinton. Two very stupid individuals.
The two worst president's we've ever had. Ever.
Carter and Clinton. Two very stupid individuals....
Stupidity always amazes me and leaves me speechless. I read this stuff and I can't even begin to figure out the world view of these two idiots. And to think they became Presidents...
Even time cannot fix stupid.
