What Democrat in 76, other than Carter?

Curious. I was 6.

I think 80 would have weakened any President; what response to the situation? Either you wait and negotiate, and look weak, or you send in troops who get killed and look even more weak.

Only a victory would allay the bullshit… and it wouldn’t even do that, because (IMAO) in the 80s and 90s, we has no idea about assymetrical warfare.

A better prepared Operation EAGLE CLAW might have succeeded if ruthlessly executed. It’s also possible that a more aware administration might have seen the danger in Iran better and closed the US embassy before it could have been stormed.
