Carter engineered Afghanistan to be the Soviet’s Vietnam. It worked. It’s the one smart thing he did for the short term, but he did end up arming our current enemy.

And the silly SOB also made sure that the Ayatollah Homeini took over Iran from our staunch ally, the Shah. This in turn, kicked off the wave of terror we are now experiencing. Jimmy considered the Ayatollah a "great and holy man," sort of a John Wesley in funny clothes!

Carter "engineered" no such thing. Soviets invaded Afghanistan using roads which had been constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. In truth all it was was another US foreign aid boondoggle allowed to be co-opted by aggressive Soviet hegemony.

Carter didn't plan a Soviet-style Vietnam, at all. The Mujaheddin were armed by Reagan, and it was Reagan's foreign policy that caused the Soviets to get bogged down in a Vietnam style body bag count.

You give Carter foreign policy credit he does not deserve. Whether in Afghanistan or in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas, Carter's foreign policy per Bob Beckel and Zbigniew Brzezinski was crafted only to advance the Soviet sphere of influence

And now we get to see Brzezinski's stupid history challenged "Lincoln is my favorite Founding father" daughter on Morning Jackass -- uh -- Morning Joe, and watch Beckel get his head handed to him all the time on Hannity.

FReegards!
