Naahh, I just give credit to Reagan for letting the stingers in. Charlie's heart was in the right place, but without the stingers, the moojahadeeni's would just be squishy stuff in Soviet tank tracks. It was a BIG gamble to let the stingers go, but it won the war. Course, we may have gotten some returned to us with Flt 800 off the Atlantic coast. I just have trouble giving a cokehead womanizer drunk credit for anything worthwhile.
BTW, I'm talking about C. Wilson, not Clinton. Just wanted to clear that up. I guess that could be Teddy Kennedy also. Hell, maybe most of the Dem party is a bunch of cokeheads now that I think about it.
Which likely would NOT have happened without the ground having been prepared by Charlie and his crew.
Don't get me wrong here. I intensely dislike Charlie Wilson and it is personal with me but I still have to give the man credit where credit is due.
