I dont know, he went went the forces he had, and our military was not up to that task at the time.
They could have still went into Tehran with what they had left, but who knows what would have happened then. I give him credit on that one even though the mission failed.
just my 2 cents on that.
The Mil was fine on that carter operation! It was butt head political brownnose general staff that screwed it up and God knows what sort of interference carter had to play in it.
Amazed to find anyone with any defence for jimah on FR!!!?? There was nothing that dude did not mess up.
I have heard that what happened in the desert on the aborted rescue attempt of our hostages in Iran was not an accident but that the Russians had been tipped off and came out and blew up some of our helicopters.
Jimmah covered it up and lied about what happened because he didn’t want
1. to go to war with Russia
2. to admit that his administration was riddled with commie leakers.
