Cynic posts another blatant lie? NO! You don't say. Shocked I am. FA

When have the warmongers who make and keep the peace done so without making war? And how many times have the warmongers who make and keep the peace started unnecessary wars - you know - like Iraq? Yes, I'm sure that if the British had repulsed Germany when they first invaded the Rhineland in 1936, which would have prevented WWII, liberals to this day would still be decrying that as an unnecessary military action. Likewise, we prevented...

Frequently in history it has been the case that the people who liberals call warmongers are the ones who make and keep the peace, and the people they call peacemakers are the ones who get us into war.

Likewise, we prevented what might well have ended up being a much larger conflict by removing Saddam. Wonderful analogy. You should teach history. Abe

A few minutes after Reagan became President the hostages were released. Why? Because the Iranians feared Reagan. ..this is an absolute lie.. ..carter did negotiate the release of the hostages.. ..it was george bush senior who flew to spain to 'negotiate' with the...

Why? Because the Iranians feared Reagan. And they feared him so because??? ...he took a microphone in a New Hampshire debate? ..he was head of the California National Guard for a few years? ..he played a cowboy in some "B" movies? Seriously, what is it that Ronald Reagan did in the first few minutes of his administration - or even in the years preceding that to engender this terrible fear you think the Iranians had of him?...

"Seriously, what is it that Ronald Reagan did in the first few minutes of his administration - or even in the years preceding that to engender this terrible fear you think the Iranians had of him?" He didn't have to do anything. The loopy left did it for him by portraying him as a trigger happy warmongerer. Iran just assumed he would immediately send them back to the stoneage and surrendered without Reagan having to...

ARMS FOR HOSTAGES= LOOK IT UP.
