I have a very vivid memory from my Senior year in high school of getting up one morning and seeing Jimmy Carter on TV telling all of america that the ill fated Delta team rescue attempt of the hostages in Iran was his decision and his responsibilty and he apoligized for it. Imagine that, a president stood up and took responsibilty for a decision he made even though that decision may have turned out to not have been a good one. I defy you to name a time when a US president has done that since.
When Ronald Reagan sent Marines into Beruit on some half brained attempt to show american resolve they got their asses kicked, in an assignment they were not equipped or trained to carry out. The whole thing was a huge bloody disaster. Did Ronald Reagan ever stand up and admit that the Beruit policy was his idea and yet a mistake. Did Reagan, or have you, ever mentioned or even considered that during the Reagan Administration more American hostages were held, some longer than 6 years, then were held in Iran. NO HE DID NOT!!! Jimmy Carter like any like raised southern baptist sunday school teacher knows that if you make a mistaked you should be big enough to admit and take responsibility for it. A lesson our current administration has no grasp of.

Peanuts, get your peanuts!

I don't recall Ronald Reagan saying anything about a later President's foreign policy decisions, nor do I recall Jimmy Carter taking responsibility for Soviet expansion during his administration.

You may rest assured Matt that the Soviet expansion into Afghanistan has ended.
