1979,Jimmy Carter seeking re-nomination but his presidency is plagued by; a weakening U.S. economy due to high gas prices brought about by the advent of the OPEC cartel, fierce competition from then emerging Japan, Social strife in the form of returnee Vietnam Vets with obvious PTSD, wide-spread drug use.
Also the average American perceptions of themselves is at an all time low from the baby-booming generations of the 50's and 60's space age program. Carter is seen as a weakling by conservative voters since he never came from the pedigree class of politicians before him such as Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon. In-short carter was from a simple background and a farmer before becoming POTUS.
Carter wanted to fix the U.S. economy by cutting on defense spending but sparing cuts to social services and even funding further other social projects such as Medicare, education.

Now fast forward to 2012, the parallels of an Obama presidency and that of Carter are strikingly similar.
Obama inherited a war, bad economy and a lowered self-pride of Americans. A man from similar humble backgrounds, Obama has made it clear that he will cut defense spending. The republicans are kicking hard against this as well as the neo-cons in the pentagon and CIA.


Now, Carter lost his re-election to Reagan but how did this happen? First you have to review the IRAN-CONTRA Saga.
On an election year (just like what we have now) the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was overrun by protesting hard-line Iranian students. A siege and hostage situation dragged on and negotiations were going nowhere. Jimmy Carter decided to send in a SEAL Team to breach and rescue the American hostages.It never happened. The SEAL Team was intercepted and their helicopter was shot down. There was no survivors. What will be later
revealed during the Reagan administration was that the Iranians were tipped off by the pentagon of the raid. The saga later became known as the IRAN-CONTRA Scandal.
Reagan was able to negotiate with the Revolutionary Iranian Govt before getting into office, that he will supply the Iranian govt with missiles once elected via Israel but that the Iranians should not negotiate with Carter.
The Iranians where further tipped off by the neo-cons when Carter ordered a rescue mission. After being elected Reagan was swiftly able to negotiate a release of the hostages.

The hallmarks of the Libyan raid on the U.S. embassy bears the hallmark of 5th columnists and hawks at the pentagon and CIA.

The repukes such as rommey are at work again.

The movie in question is a low-budget crap that went straight to video. The silly arab-muskins were rallied by their power hungry imams with the aid of powerful forces in the Pentagon.

“The market price was set: One American citizen is worth 300 TOW antitank missiles, or 50 Hawks and 200 TOWs,” wrote Terry Anderson in Den of Lions, the account of his seven-year captivity in Lebanon. (Hawks are surface-to-air missiles; TOW is the acronym for "TOW" stands for "Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire-guided" missiles). Anderson was referring to a Dec. 5, 1985 memo by North outlining the package of weaponry to be shipped to Iran by way of Israel. On Feb. 17, 1986, 500 TOW missiles were shipped from Israel to Bandar Abbas in Southwest Iran, according to Anderson (who had been the Associated Press’ bureau chief in Beirut before his captivity). A second shipment of 500 TOWs followed the same route on Feb. 27.“No hostages were released,” Anderson wrote. “However, North got something else out of the deal. The Americans had heavily overcharged Iran for the missiles they had sent,” so even after all involved took their cut, “millions of dollars were left over, and ‘off the books’—that is, with no need to account for it, since officially it didn’t exist. That money, it occurred to North very quickly, could be used for another project dear to both his and Reagan’s hearts: the Nicaraguan Contras.”

Conspiracy theorists are at their very best again!though no one will rule out the quest by the west,Isreal/saudi qatari vs persian(Iran) and then the Sunni vs Shia struggle on who comes out top from the Arab Spring!
