Was he even cognizant at that time? He had Alzheimers.
I take it you are completely ignorant of the progression of that disease.
I asked you a question. An answer would be nice.
ARE you implying that you don't believe Reagan was legitimately the President?
I am very aware of the progression of the disease....both my parents died of it.
So...if you don't think that Reagan was already in the early stages of Alzheimers, then you are asserting that with full mental faculties, he sent U.S. Marines to a civil war zone, put them all in one spot like sitting ducks for a bomber and then have the entry guards have unloaded guns and no clear ROE for anyone driving up. And afterwards......pull completely out of Beirut, giving people like OBL the lesson that Americans "cut n' run".
Ok....a so-called President indeed.
