[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1033826, member: 17969"] You know, on this board, there are many times that I read things from people and I just want to shake them. They are so UNINFORMED its not even funny. Its not there fault, some people just dont pay attention or they listen to others who are also uninformed and then simply repeat what has been said. You happen to be one of those persons. You dont have history correct, and rely on cable news or rhetoric to form arguments. In this case, its clear you dont have the first clue about the Reagan administration. Here's a video of donald rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein during the Reagan Administration.
