[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3848126, member: 24302"] His fault about other crewmembers? My understanding is their parachutes didn't deploy. And of course it was about oil. Fracking wasn't a possibility then, mattered very much who controlled major sources of oil. Iran-Contra wasn't his decision to make. And the Soviet Union imploding was very much due to their trying to keep up with Reagan's military spending as well as the rise of nationalism within various Soviet republics. But it was his responsibility to handle the diplomacy with Russian leaders during that period. Could have gone a very different direction. And he was known for restoring morale in the CIA. Seemed to have a positive influence everywhere he went. He was the one who encouraged Nixon to resign. [/QUOTE]
