Can you show me where arms were going to be delivered? Can you link me to the signed armistice?
Arms were to be delivered. Troops were to be landed. No armistice has ever been signed by the president of these United States to the best of my knowledge, yet many have existed. When Lincoln was informed that his orders were in violation of the armistice, he found men willing to carry them out in spite of it. It is tantamount to discovering that GW ordered Sept. 11th to get the country motiviated to war, yet Lincoln is venerated as an Amercian hero.
Get over it.
