Ben Barnes has a feeling that John Connally made a deal so that Iran would keep the hostages so that Carter would lose.
If you recall, liberals got John Anderson to run as an independent to pull Reagan votes away and get Carter elected. It still didnt work.
Instead of giving one arm of the military the assignment to rescue the hostages, he gave in and allowed each branch to participate.
I shoulda known it was that lie again.
Reagan said that if those hostages were being held when he became president, we would go to war with Iran.
*THAT* is why they let them go on his inauguration day.
