Having read the book and seen the film you would be wrong.

Seems that more and more people are agreeing with me.

I believe RR was one of the two or three greatest Presidents we’ve had. I also believe RR was a man that set a course through a consistent vision. I don’t think he was very involved with details.
The CIA in the early days of the build up in Afghanistan wanted nothing to do with Charlie and were pissed that he was meeting with Zia without them being present. CW pushed the CIA into a spot where they had no choice but to go along.
These are opinions from my reading everything I could find on Afghanistan, from during the 80’s until we entered the country in 2002.
I subscribe to the notion that; “Opinions are like Hemorrhoids, every asshole has one”.
