carter met not only with anwar sadat of egypt but king hussein of jordan, king khalid of saudi arabia. >> the united states had always backed the shah of iran and goes back to 1953 in fact when america essentially put the shah into power. >> iran is an island of stability and one of the more troubled areas of the world. >> even though western government loved the shah, they weren't really paying attention to the fact on the ground. and there were many people who were discontented with the shah in part because of his extremely oppressive policies. >> iran was seen as important for its oil resources but also because the shah was an ally when it came to regional goals. a natural alliance of the united states. >> the president and the shah of iran spent a long time speaking it was brought up by other leaders in other countries. >> jimmy carter saw the middle east and the settlement of the conflict between israelis and arabs as central to any kind of stability for the next generation. >> hopes for a middle east peace settlement were never higher than they were last november when sadat went

they have -- they were thrown out of egypt by anwar sadat in the 1970s. we're retreating. >> we look like we wanted to be in the game and we're going to put 50 people in. >>> all right, and with eme now is congressman ron desantos who was head of the oversight and reform ecommittee. good evening, congressman, your reaction to the president's decision to send special ops forces to syria? >> listening to your monologue, i got dizzy because you cataloged this president's incoherence, and i really worry because these guys are talking about elite fighters, but a small number of fighters, when your policy is incoherent. this president with regard to foreign affairs has been the king of midas in reverse. everything he has touched has gone bad. when you talk about sergeant ben wheeler, if people are shooting at you, you're in combat. this is a guy who's one of the most decorated soldiers in american history. >> on the heels of this supposedly being killed not in combat, but in combat. he says within 10 days i'm sending 50 to syria not in combat. >> you played and

liz: isn't it amazing that egypt had the peace deal with israel back with anwar sadat and begin, and israelis gave back the sinai desert, and clearly the egyptians have allowed -- intentionally or not -- these affiliates of isis to set up shop in the sinai desert. would this vpped if the us rail -- israelis were still in charge of the sinai? >> well, not the israeliss and not much under mubarak. it really happened during that year when the president of egypt was elected, the muslim brotherhood, he gave them a lot of support. he invited many of these islamic jihadists, they had a free ride until he was removed. we are dealing with the results of what he has done. liz: great point. thank you very much. and once again, we are watching a very tenuous situation. no definitive mention of whether it's terrorism, but the u.k. and the u.s. affiliates and investigators are believing that it looks like that. walid phares. >>> the dow still down about 29 points. baby buffett, as he believes himself to be, spent four hours friday defending his investment in embattled pharma giant valeant, but cha

sadat couldn't come, but she was in frequent phone contact with anwar sadat, and mrs.egin was there, and mrs. carter was there for the vast majority at the time. so their being there was -- had a very specific purpose, that they were talking about things that would affect their grandchildren and their families, and having the spouses there would be a positive. and i think it turned out to be that way. ms. swain: connie's watching us in walnut creek, california. hello, connie. connie , are you there? question susan -- yes, i am. thank you. mrs. carter had strong views certainly about passage of the equal rights amendment. i'm wondering, since that time, what her view is of the progress that women have made in politics and just in -- generally in society. and has she ever made any comment about whether a woman could or should be elected president of the united states? ms. swain: thanks so much. do you know the answers to those questions? mr. hakes: i think she thinks it's overdue to have a woman as president of the united states. i mean, the carters today are still invol
