It was Ronald Reagan who lied about "Not Negotiating with Terrorist's", Iran by providing them with F-15 and other types of weaponry. All the while also giving billions of $'s to his Freedom Fighter's Saddam Hussein and Osma Bin Laden who have been relabeled "Tyrants" by the GOP today.
The Traitor's acts of Iran-Contra weapons for cocaine scandle by those within the Reagan administration was just one of the pimp Reagan's services he offered when presiding over Washington, that Paul Craig Roberts refers to as a "Whorehouse".
As for Afghanistan, it was the Reagan administration who supplied Al-CIAda with munitions to fight the former USSR, and now the U.S. is fighting the very people Reagan admired as comrade in arms who the U.S. military find themselves bogged down against in a un-win able illegal occupation now.
The "Over-reach" of the U.S.A. was begun when Reagan nearly tripled the deficit with his "Star Wars" still can't hit anything without pre-trajectory information, that had nothing to do with the collapse of the former U.S.S.R., but everything to do with making your great-grandchildren debt slaves before they are born.
If the felons of Reagan Iran-Contra weapons for cocaine scandle would had been behind bars, then there would have been no self-appointed Bu$h II cabal to further degrade the already standing of the U.S.A. that began under the Reagan administration.
Many of the problems the U.S.A. finds itself in today were the result of the blundering incompetence the wife and political party swapping Reagan administration.
Proving those who bloviate about how Reagan deficits "Didn't Matter" or how there was a farce "Peace Dividend" continue the "Gross Ignorance" of facts about the sick joke "Reagan Revolution" really was.
Reagan's first wife said it best when she accused him of "Extreme mental Cruelty" to marry a 3 month pregnant Nancy. His "Cruelty" not only extended into his "Family Values" it has come to haunt every U.S. citizen.
