"Legacy enhancement: Jimmy Carter not only
lost Iran, he lost Egypt" (I
Hate The Media) makes the case that Jummy lost Egypt (Hussein
Obama, I think, deserves some of the credit, Ahem).
Simultaneously I received this e-mail from Marc Miller about
LTG Sam
Wetzel's
"the
real story on Iran and General Huyser."
LTG
Wetzel has done considerable speehifying
on the subject of Jummy, and Islamic terrorism, and this text comes
from a speech
he made to the Columbus GA. Rotary Club in 2009. If accurate, it
shows Carter as not just passively responsible for the fall of Iran,
but a pro-active participant on a level with Khomeini. |

the time I was the Executive to the SACEUR, General Haig at SHAPE HQ in
Belgium.
I got word from Iran through EUCOM about it. I then
went in to General Haig and said: "Do you know where Dutch Huyser is?"
He said "No". I told him Huyser was in Tehran with instructions to tell
the military not to take over the country, and to let the Ayatollah
Khomeini come back from Paris, France. General Haig was not told by
General Jones, CJCS or SECDEF Harold Brown until the day after I
informed General Haig. My boss was not pleased to say the least. [ Continued]
