The Iran-Contra affair was the Reagan Administration's. Period.

I agree it was all Reagan's doing. I am also not sure how terrible it
actually was. We gave Iran weapons to wage war against Saddam Hussein
... but I assume you liked Saddam.
You saw no value in us tossing him out..
Clearly Israel thought Saddam was a bigger threat to them than the
Ayatollah was, since they brokered the weapons deal with Iran and made
money on it.. That is also why we eventually went after Saddam so
Israel wouldn't do it.
That was the scandal that never came to light.

Oh, right. Sure.

Again, what part was wrong?

It was wrong to give arms to the Iranians. That part was wrong.

Our invasion of Iraq and deposing of Saddam Hussein was built on
Bush-Cheney bull****.
