Haig was pretty pro-Argentine and Jeanne Kirkpatrick was fanatically pro-Argentine.

However Cap Weinberger was fanatically pro-British.

The Administration was pulled in a lot of different directions, though Weinberger won out in the end.

There are three Reagans:

1) The warmongering senile idiot of the Left

2) The idealized, and somewhat fictionalized and mis-remembered “True Conservative” of the Right

3) The real Reagan, who was an impressive person, but who wasn’t either 1) or 2).

Coming from you, given your posting history, this lopsided and biased opinion of Reagan doesn't surprise me one bit.

Reagan, in spite of his minor flaws, stands head and shoulders above every other President of the last Century and those we have endured this century.

Nice try, but no sale.

Reagan was a genuine leader in every sense of the word.
That is WHY he is hated by the left and idealized by normal human beings.

Nobody ever claimed he was perfect, and nobody ever had to.
