Default On this day...

On about this day in 1983, the Soviet Union shot down a Korean airliner,
killing 269 on board. Sixty two of them were Americans. President
Ronald Reagan was on a 25-day vacation at the time it happened and
according to his diary, he was upset he would have to cut his vacation
short by 3 days.

From his diary:

"We were due to return to Wash. on Labor Day but realized we couldn't
wait so we left on Fri. It was heartbreaking, I had really looked
forward to those last 3 days."
9/2/1983

Reagan didn't want to return to the White House, and he didn't address
the nation for four days. He took no action against the Soviet Union,
but today's teabaggers think the world feared him.

What was he supposed to do, nuke them?
The response was similar to what we did about MH17.
Our hands are not clean either. Remember Iran Air 665.

You miss the point...as usual.
Reagan also didn't do anything of significance after the Marine barracks
in Lebanon was blown up.

But today's teabaggers think the world feared him.


Again, should we have nuked someone?
They did fire almost a million pounds of 16" ammo into the area where
they thought the terrorists were. It was the largest naval bombardment
since the end of WWII.

Did you see the interview of the former soviet spy on 60 minutes?
He seemed to think the soviets were afraid of Reagan. I am not sure
why they wouldn't be. The man was a cowboy, living in an earlier age
with his finger on the button.

today's teabaggers think Saint Reagan easily committed troops to new
misadventures when, in fact, he did not.

Cite? Or just more bull****?

****ing in the wind?

Which general did you work for in Vietnam? What organization was that?

Is your hate for the 'righties' here based on their politics or the number of lies
and tax evasion in which you've been caught?

Well, at least Donne' respects you.
