It has escaped the memories of conservatives, but back when their beloved Reagan was president, and the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, Ronny’s reaction was to arm the Taliban and then tell the C.I.A. to train Osama bin Laden. This led to the 9/11 attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon.
Also not remembered by the right-wingers, both Reagan and Bush Sr, gave chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein. Emboldened by this U.S. show of support, Saddam invaded Kuwait. This led to the first Iraq war.
Then came Bush Jr., or “Dubya” as he is better known. As president, he and his henchmen used lies to launch the second Iraq war. This led to ISIS. (Not to mention the needless deaths, wounding, and maiming of tens-of-thousands of U.S. and allied troops and innocent Iraqi citizens.)
Of course, conservative propaganda has rewritten history, denying these facts, and replacing them with various lies and tall tales. But the truth is still out there and can be easily found, and must be remembered anytime someone says the Republicans are better at keeping America safe.
The responses of the right-wingers to this OP will deny the truth, or cite the lies of the conservatives’ rewritten history.
