I don’t know what you were trying to say there.

I believe I understand what you were trying to say, but what you said was wrong, and what you were trying to say was wrong.

I don't know much, but I do know that supplying our allies in Europe with sufficient troops and materiel to scare off a Soviet invasion was a reasonable, commonsensical, and proportionate response to our enemy the Soviets.

Going to war with Iraq was neither reasonable, nor commonsensical, nor proportionate. Reagan wouldn't have gone there.
