As could be expected, when the Reagan-Bush team took office they were then subject to blackmail by Iran, Iraq, Israel, and anyone who had knowledge of October Surprise. After Reagan and Bush took office, the Iranians received huge quantities of military equipment, many times more than they could have received had they completed the agreement with the United States government under President Carter. In 1982, the Reagan-Bush team took Iraq off the list of terrorist states despite the strong protests of intelligence organizations in the United States and Europe. Israel received huge quantities of military supplies and aid, much of it unknown to the American public, who will be paying the bill for years.
