31. You mean "Cut & Run Ronnie"?
Tue Jan 3, 2012, 10:57 AM
Jan 2012

When the Marine Barracks in Beirut was bombed in 1983, killing 243 American soldiers,
"Cut & Run Ronnie" pulled ALL of our troops out.

Thats one of the few things for which I respect Reagan.
He had enough sense not to waste American Lives & Money in countries where we are NOT wanted.

I wish our current president would emulate Reagan in this respect,
instead of just embracing Reagan's Economic Policies.




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
