Many people who are younger than I don't understand or remember the Iran Contra scandal from the 1980s. Well short of it. Reagan or his team committed treason by bribing the Iranians to hold the US hostages using a weapons deals. Reagan did this in order to make Carter look bad. Basically using US lives and working against our nation aiding our enemies in order to get himself elected.... Well the former president of Iran just admitted that is what happened. He admitted that Reagan bribed Khomeini the Shah of Iran to hold the hostages. It was the thing that got Reagan elected... an act of treason. Why did this all happen, because the Iranians had tons of US equipment that they had no spare parts to (jet fighters and other weapons systems) Reagan promised them those military weapons parts and asked they hold the hostages till after he was elected.

I know many of you here will not like this news. But I thought you might want to read it. I personally hope for the day that a person like Eisenhower can run for president again. I honestly do hope the conservative movement can get rid of the cancer and bring back honorable people I would be proud to vote for. But getting things like that to happen will only happen when people are able to learn from historical mistakes. You want to read something else interesting that will never got proper news coverage.
