The timing of the incident is even more suggestive than I indicated.
Because a month later, Carter Ok'd a finding for Afghanistan, which meant the CIA could begin operations there, even before the Russian Army invaded.
Admitting the Shah of course instigated the hostage crisis. Which, in actuality, meant the end of Carter's presidency.
Which brought us Ronald Reagan.
You really wonder, how could Carter not have gotten the message? Between McCloy's incessant lobbying, and those two names?
