So whose bright idea was it to send an ancient Jimmy Carter over to North Korea (on somebody's private jet) to negotiate a hostage release?http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/26/world/asia/26korea.html?src=mvDID EVERYBODY FORGET HOW BAD HE SUCKS AT SUCH AN ENDEAVOR? 30 years ago he sucked. What makes people think that old codger learned anything from it? Or is he just a pure unadulterated narcissist? Yeah I thought so too."The episode reached a climax when, after failed attempts to negotiate a release, the United States military attempted a rescue operation, Operation Eagle Claw, on April 24, 1980, which resulted in a failed mission, the destruction of two aircraft and the deaths of eight American servicemen and one Iranian civilian. It ended with the signing of the Algiers Accords in Algeria on January 19, 1981. The hostages were formally released into United States custody the following day, just minutes after the new American president Ronald Reagan was sworn in."Do you think that Kim Jong-Il isn't going to make real political hay with this? Jeebus people, is this really the best we can do?
