Insane McCain forgets the Iran-Contra scandal like he forgets his Keating Five involvement.

"Yes, there have been appeasers in the past, and the president is exactly right, and one of them is Neville Chamberlain. I believe that it’s not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn’t sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home."

What a bunch of bullshit.

1. Bullshit, indeed

Those hostages were released just hours after Raygun was inaugurated, as I recall (could I be wrong about this?), and it was intended as a slap to Jimmy Carter, who did everything he could to get them released. Raygun did NOTHING.

No, that's not right. He did Iran-Contra. Sorry.
