Jimmy Carter: “The job is not yet over.”

Base on what I just said, which I can't retract.

I don't agree with that at all.

The aircraft carrying the 52 American hostages had cleared Iranian airspace on the first -- first leg of a journey home. And at every one of the 52 hostages was alive, was well and free.

Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.
