Iraq ran out of options 12 years ago

//

reference to former President Jimmy Carter's remarks on more options in Iraq: just think, this is the president who waited and negotiated, waited and negotiated, etc., for 444 days to release Americans from Iran that never happened under his jurisdiction.

It took a strong person like President Ronald Reagan to stop waiting on "other options," as Mr. Carter says, to set the hostages free. Mr. Carter's and Iraq's options ran out 12 years ago.
