Obama the naive - Los Angeles Times former Ambassador John Bolton's op-ed
We had 80 F-14s and an almost 4000 Grumman employee compound teaching the Shah's pilots and ground crews to fly them, which as I recall was to be 100, just before, students took over our embassy, mad as they were complaining to Henry Kissinger they were being spied on in the US by the Shah's secret police, Savak. Then Iraq was an ally sort of after the "hostage crisis" and before we shot down the Iranian commercial jetliner with our Aegis system, killing all the pilgrims for Mecca aboard. What did the Republicans expect from President Carter, send the fleet against our own F-14 fighter bombers? F-14 vs. F-14. Whose foreign policy made this all possible? There had been a terrible toll almost 1 million already over the Iran-Iraq War. I think issuing threats over the mainstream-media to force some sort of ideological panic is no way to run an airline. Reign in our arms dealers too.
