And Reagan brought that epic affrontment to an end without saying a word.

Yea I also remember his missle coming down Mommars tent and the silence afterward. It didn't take a war just a will. Saddly enough on this though Reagan like Carter signed a simuliar E.O. Reagan was wise enough to see it as being futile.

To which you said— “Yea I also remember his missle coming down Mommars tent and the silence afterward. It didn’t take a war just a will. Saddly enough on this though Reagan like Carter signed a simuliar E.O. Reagan was wise enough to see it as being futile”

You didnt read my whole comment..I was referring to the day Reagan was sworn in as POTUS...Reagan did not do or say anything... just showed up..

The Iranians had already announced that on Jan 20, 1981 aT 12 Noon the hostages would be released...

Here ya go My comment from #2904

You had said “our policy before Carter led to that. Carter just happened to be POTUS when it came back to bite us”

So I said

“And Reagan brought that epic affrontment to an end without saying a word.

Remember? The hostages were freed on Jan 20, 1981, at 12 Noon....”

Reagan was sworn in as POTUS at that time.. The Iranians knew he was a man to be reckoned with.. a strong leader of the fr4ee world who would brook no nonsense from the Islamic Terrorists..

BTW Reagan did go on from that day to demand that the Communist built wall that divided the city of Berlin come down..and he saw the destruction of that wall be accomplished..and the “Iron Curtain” across Eastern Europe was “torned down”..
