“In your claim Reagan explained “why he refused to cancel SDI”-—”there was no question as to what he was alluding to””

In my claim??

Yes, that is what I said because that is what Reagan said. But, he did not say that SDI was developed to fight off an alien invasion from outer space, and I did not say that Reagan said SDI was developed to fight off an alien invasion from outer space. Those are entirely separate concepts. Reagan developed it to protect the U S from Russian ICBMs. I have no clue why Reagan added the invasion from outer space as a plus for having SDI. Maybe he knew something we don’t, since he had top security clearance.

And I again ask, where do people like you come from to be so dense? So snotty? What is your problem?

“”””he did mention it as a possiblility when he was negotiating with Gorbachev in Iceland.””””

“”””he certainly did mention, in a press conference, the possibility of an invasion from outer space as a reason he would not abandon SDI, which is what Gorbachev demanded for an agreement.””””

“”””I’m talking about the press conference he gave in Iceland, where, explaining why he refused to cancel SDI, he said it may be needed to protect us from a threat out there, and he waved his arm up. I don’t remember the exact wording, but there was no question as to what he was alluding to.””””

You were generous enough to tell me to go find the proof for your claims on the Internet, where do you people come from?
