[QUOTE="realbrown1, post: 1563833, member: 46221"] Well let's put this into a little perspective, since you left a lot of information off the post. #1 Iran and Iraq were at war from 1980 to 1988. We were supplying both of them weapons (at a price) to kill each other. I would call that a win-win-win for the USA. We get the money and they kill thousands of themselves off. #2 Bin Laden and the Taliban were not the enemies of the USA at that time. They were fighting a long time enemy of the USA called the Soviet Union. Of course we would supply them money and weapons. They were killing thousands of Soviet soldiers on the field of battle and helping to bankrupt the Soviets. Another win-win. #3 I would have stayed in Libya and made the enemy pay for that attack, but I am not the president. But holding this against Reagan, and giving praise to Obama for pulling troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan is a lot of hypocrisy. #4 None of this has ever come back and hurt the USA. Pulling our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan has come back to hurt the US and our Allies. Don't hear 1 word about how much Iraq has suffered without our troops and just look at Yemen. #5 Reagan was a great president, and what we have now is a god awful mess of a president. Yet the libs can't seem to see this. [/QUOTE]
