The US designed, financed, built, and operated the canal. Panama had nothing to do with it. Carter gave it to Panama for reasons unclear, now US boats are charged ridiculous transfer fees. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS OUTRAGE!! PS: a Chink company now runs the canal, as Panamanians are way too fukn retarded.

You mean he gave the go ahead, right?
I don't think he was flying any of the helicopters, he was a submarine commander.
Oh, you mean the series of unfortunate events that his planners put together that didn't work out as planned? Yeah, just like Bush 2 got Osama... Oh wait, that was 10 years later...
Presidents should take the blame, but as with most things, there are many aspects of every decision.

The problem is that Carter wasn't man enough to tell his snuffys that they all couldn't play in this game. The 4 major branches all had to get their dicks in that rice bowl and it turned into a massive goatfuck. Had he said "Fuck no, just send Marines and get the job fucking done!" there would have been no 444 days of American hostages. Carter was a weak leader and the hostage crisis was the final nail in his weak ineffectual presidency.
Agree. Also what were those fucker doing in Iran in the first place? Ambassadoring? Bull shit. All those fuckers are CIA or corporate puppets. I used to think “oh those poor innocent hostages.” Innocent white people don’t go to Iran to live.
We should be isolationist. Lowering canal fees only causes more foreign goods to be brought in from latin america. Rich capitalists a-holes built it in the first place as a means of globalist expansion. Fill it in.
