-9: Ronald Reagan and the Iran-Contra Affair, the effort to sell arms to Iran and use the money to finance an armed anti-communist group in Nicaragua.

"Absurd, as this ended up being a Non-Story."

It also ended up being a success, as the Sandinistas were defeated in Nicaragua -- which was the objective of the exercise. Iran-Contra's presence on this list clearly reveals the agenda of these "historians".

I thought that Iran-Contra was a master stroke.Consider this;We sell arms to the Iranians who get themselves killed in great numbers.The money from these sales finances weapons for anti-communist forces who then kill commies in great numbers.This is a Win-Win situation for us,and darn good stewardship of our funds.

Agreed, but if they're going to include it they should include item 10A which is Ollie North's pimp-slapping of the congressional panel led by that runaway-combover idiot whose name I don't care to recall.
