The planning for the invasion of Iran should have started on November 4, 1979 and carried out the moment we had enough troops in the area. Obviously, the traitor Carter never was going to do that; however, Reagan should have bombed them back into the stone ages on January 21, 1981.

"Reagan should have bombed them back into the stone ages on January 21, 1981."

Well first of all they released the hostages on that date (I believe)... secondly he didn't want a military confrontation with them because they were a useful bulwark against the Soviets.

That would have been a very very small bomb.

He would have, but they released the hostages on his way to take the oath. Remember, his campaign promise, 10 seconds after he took the oath, the whole world expected a certain aircraft carrier to start turning.

We would spend the next quarter of century paying for Jimmy Carter's gift to the Ayatollah.
