Perhaps, but the day he WON the war was when he stood firm at the Iceland summit. He did NOT give up SDI, and that was the day we won.

Although an equally compelling case is that his first GREAT decision was his choice of Bill Casey as CIA Director. Casey was the best we ever had at Langley - we sure could use someone like him now.

The only complaint I have about Reagan's CIA is one that applies to the CIA across the board...

They actually believed the USSR's own economic figures. They never thought that EVERYONE would lie to the boss...even when the consequences of telling the truth were fatal.
