News Release from the Soviet Union's ITAR-TASS News Agency in May 1987:
SENATOR KERRY ON THE FAILURE OF THE REAGAN DOCTRINE
WASHINGTON, MAY 5
THE IRANGATE IS A PROOF NOT ONLY OF ABUSE OF POWER BY A FEW OFFICIALS OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IN THE USA BUT ALSO OF THE FAILURE OF THE WHOLE "REAGAN DOCTRINE", SENATOR JOHN KERRY WRITES IN TODAY'S WASHINGTON POST.
THIS DOCTRINE, HE POINTS OUT, IS BASED ON A CORE ASSUMPTION OF SUPPORTING THE SO-CALLED ANTICOMMUNIST FORCES AS LONG AS THEY WILL COUNTEROPPOSE COMMUNISM. UNDER THE DOCTRINE, COVERT OPERATIONS PRESENT THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY OF ACHIEVING THIS GOAL. THE ARMS SALES TO IRAN AND THE DIVERSION OF PART OF THE PROCEEDS TO CONTRAS WERE CARRIED OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REAGAN DOCTRINE AND PROVED ANEW ITS INCONSISTENCY BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON A FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF LAW, KERRY CONCLUDES.
The media is going to soon have a hard time spinning all of this and ignoring!I hope so.
Jean Keri ! He's fighting for Communism ! He's a good Komrade !
LOL !!! See #39 PKM .....
Kerry - Gorbachev in 2004!
LOL ! That is great !Off subject, but I just finished this one up this morning .....
Kerry's a Creep. This guy might actually win election, people.
Nice comment Sam, that is if you wish to ignore the fact that the Boland Ammendment is most likely a violation of the separation of powers. Having never been challenged in court, it's hardly worth the paper it's written on.
Frankly I wish it had been challenged in court. I doubt any of these people's conviction would have stood if it had.
So much for the holier than thou angle on this.
