LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ron Reagan, the younger son of the late President Reagan, criticized the Bush administration's foreign policy, saying he believed the president misled Americans to gain support for the Iraq war."We lied our way into the war," he said on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Wednesday, referring to allegations that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and direct connections to al-Qaida. "It's a terrible mistake, a terrible foreign policy error."
Reagan, 44, a vocal opponent of his father's conservative politics, said he would vote for anyone who could beat the current president.
Reagan also said he was angered over the administration's opposition to human embryonic stem cell research.
"It's shameful," he said. "We're not talking about fetuses, human beings being killed. We're talking about collections of cells in a petri dish that are never ever going to be a human being."
Reagan said he expected his mother to continue to speak out in favor of stem cell research. Nancy Reagan has long argued that such work could lead to cures for a number of diseases like the Alzheimer's that afflicted her husband.
He said Nancy Reagan was doing "pretty well."
"I've got to hand it to her. She's 83 years old. She doesn't get around as well as she used to, a little glaucoma," he said. But, "She's a professional."
GET THIS LITTLE SCUMBAG OFF MY SCREEN!
I agree with most of your post. I disagree with your saying he is dumb: he is NOT dumb. He may be (definitely is) wrong or deluded or ignorant, especially when saying Bush lied. But he isn't dumb.
When is the Larry King interview ith MICHAEL REAGAN?
Michael is reflective of everything that President Reagan was! Leaving us a son the caliber of Michael is a wonderful legacy. He may have been adopted, but GOD gave Michael (President Reagan's) heart, and his dreams!!!

Pity the fruit fell so far from the tree.
Wasn't he a ballet dancer at one time, or am I thinking of somebody else?
Never mind to my question about the ballet! I'm still half asleep and must learn to read ALL posts before putting my two cents in. Durn it.
Repeat often ;-)
No class. Looking for his 15 minutes. A typical liberal...
I guess it just proves brains are not genetic.
' Pity the fruit fell so far from the tree. '
Superb! And grand-prize winner of the day! Is there a known origin of this apropos (and pithy) aphorism?
I bet he was so angrey he could spit.
What does a ballerina know of warfare?
It would be great if the Iraqis uncovered WMD after their takeover, wouldn't it? I hold out hope because I've heard they plan some agressive housecleaning and interrogation (making Abu Ghraib look like 'Weekend at Bernie's') once they take the reins. Yeah, I know, the left will say
"planted". Still, it'd be worth a years wages to see the looks on these fool's faces...
I thought the Dixie Chicks music was great. Then they talked.
I thought Ron Reagan's eulogy was great. Then he talked.
These are not attacks against Bush, these are attacks against his father.
Letterman has been insulting the President since he's been a candidate. He doesn't need cues from Ron Reagan.
Miserable little fairy.
