The Iranians released the hostages when Carter left office,maybe it was the day after? Reagan hadn't anything to do with it they just did it as a final insult to Carter. It was sorta like the WMD of its day, everyone gave credit to Reagan and he didn't correct it, it gave way to the Iranians were scared of him and that was why they were released. I thought that too But they screwed up by releasing them while still having Iranian money in our banks I think they were buying military planes etc. and had paid for that too before the Shaw (sp?)was forced out.
Many people still think Iraq had WMD and transferred them to Syria although Saddam couldn't get his millions out, remember the money stuffed into trees?, couldn't get his daughters out, couldn't get his sons out and couldn't get his stinkin butt out of the dirt hole but he was clever enough to get ALL the WMD out from under our noses?
