[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2931560, member: 58386"] He publicly stated that fact. If Nixon did anything of lasting value and that was his success at getting Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter reconciled . Afterward the two were inseparable and Carter delivered Ford's eulogy and spoke about the fact that Gerald Ford was one of the last remaining true citizen presidents. As for the economy when Carter brought in Volcker to run the Fed Volcker told Carter that the measures he would have to take to rein in inflation would cost Carter a second term. Carter said , "do it" . As for the Iran crisis he was under intense pressure to launch a full scale invasion that candidate Reagan was yelling for. Instead went for a rescue which failed due to weather and logistics. After the election and I read the story myself Newsweek released an intelligence report which stated that the only way into Iran was to use airborne troops which are lightly armed. The Soviets would have immediately come to Iran's defense and combined with being nearly impossible supply problems the entire 82nd Airborne would have been completely wiped out in 38 days. [/QUOTE]
