This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Mullahs didn't release the hostages as soon as Reagan came because of freidnship, they were afraid Reagan was kick their a$$ being the cowboy that he seemed to be.

The mullahs don't want a republican, either. The fact that Banisadr says that they prefer republicans demonstrates that they actually don't want a republican. It was Carter who allowed them to exist in the early stages of the revolution, Clinton who dropped the embargo and allowed their carpets, cashews, and other products into the U.S., Clinton who's Secretary of State Albright wrongly apologized for a litany of things.

They forget that Reagan also strongly backed te Iraqis against Iran during the Iran-Iraq War.

For Banisadr to say these things means eeither he was asleep all throughout the time or he isplanly lying because he is doing the mullah's bidding still, even today. When Banisadr is trying to steer people away from Republican votes towards Obama, then its obvious he and the mullah;s prefer Obama--afterall, the only thing that he says se is going to do is talk to them which is exactly what every administration has done since Carter till now. Shame on you Banisadr for trying to manipulate the vote in such an insulting transparent way.
