We are just not into theoretical assertions that other administrations have made

Several things come to mind:
It wasn't a theoretical assertion which flew into our buildings on 9/11; and
if we had wanted Carter's policies, we would have reelected Carter; and
all battle plans change one minute into the fight.

Yikes I have never forgiven Jimmy for the Iranian thing. If he had said "Look you a$$holes you have 24 hours to return our hostages unharmed or we will nuke your butts!" the world would be a completely different place. Oh yea, he would of had to use them - Ronnie would never have been prez. Carter would have done two terms (the down side) but every mf'er in the middle east would have a different opinion of us.
