Funding Terror

Hedging came naturally to Reagan; it was his dirty, humble trademark. He had been a Democrat until 1960, when he finally saw the light, as it were. Even so, being a Democrat never stopped him from participating in the Hollywood witch-hunts of the 1950s. In common terms, he would be called a liar…or at the very least dishonest. Some might even use the term “waffler.”

But to the issue again — Iran, Iraq, and Reagan’s insidious double-dealings with them both: From ’83 until late ’86, when the NSC and CIA were re-circulating arms from Israel to Iran, the United States was also selling military hardware — including chemical weapons — to Saddam Hussein. Which helped Iraq out quite well in its war with Iran, as one might imagine.

And all this amid Reagan’s vociferous assertion that “America will never make concessions to terrorists.” His solution? He removed Iraq from the list of “states sponsoring terrorism,” in February of 1982, against the stringent objections of Congress. Congress, it seems, knew the score. But then, it was dealing with the very same man who would come to say, “A tree is a tree. How many do you have to look at?”

Written by Bill Ayers?

You really should attribute that quote.

I always laugh when democrats bring this up. I wonder how they explain how FDR helped build up the USSR during WWII. I also wonder, which was worse, the USSR or Iraq?

How bout it Gordy?

The source on this was the same source that e mailed me a while back telling me that I was going to need to claim all my firearms on some type of tax form.

I think it was from the same source that told me that Barry Obama didn't have a valid birth certificate and wasn't even a citizen.

We also should remember that when all the facts came to light President Reagan took the podium took resposibility and said it was a mistake. I can't remember any leader from the democrat party taking responsibility for any mistake.

Ronnie Lee Gardner and Wanda Barzee both said it was a mistake too
