The only one who actually walked that walk was Reagan. Neither Bush even talked the talk. They insisted on Israel negotiating with terrorists ‘til it hurt.
RR surely walked the walk but Desert Storm and Iraq/Afghanistan - until the dems started their anti-war crap, wasn’t a polite tea party either. GHB blew Sadam’s guys out of Kuwait in record time (Highway of death) and GWB finally got him.
GWB did give in, but to the Democrats, not the terrorists. BO and HC have sought kissy-face coffee klatches with terrorists across the mid east since day 1.
