I remember Reagan doing his damnest to prevent their release before the election...Well of course it was a Political strategy. Carter made an attempt to rescue the Hostages and it failed with the death eight American Service men. If Carter was successful in his rescue attempt Reagan wouldn't have won.

The Iranians were not going to release the hostages to carter ever! They released them to President Reagan after he was sworn in just to spite carter! Thats it. All the other speculation is just that! Originally Posted by winn dixieIs it speculation that Reagan sold arms to Iran?
Yes we do....but you have to go back to the dynamics of the day. Not today.You're referring to market dynamics of natural gas when Carter was president. OK, Carter was before my time, but I did get an up close and personal look at the results, perhaps like you would have gotten for oil if you worked in strategic planning for Enterprise in the 1980's. Carter managed to perform a difficult feat, both raising the price of natural gas to levels where it became difficult for people to pay their heating bills, while at the same time discouraging investment in development of natural gas resources. He did this by price controlling wells drilled to shallower depths, up to 15,000 feet. Gas from wells drilled deeper than 15,000' could be sold for whatever the market would bear. And the market had to pay up, because shallower wells weren't being drilled. The natural gas producers couldn't make money given the low prices per MMBTU, set by the government for shallower wells. They could on the other hand make money from outrageously expensive deep wells, and they passed their high costs onto consumers.
Carter spending on the military (which winn dixie will not acknowledge) might not have been so horrible with the Cold War still very chilly. Originally Posted by WTF
