Reagan opposed attacking Iraq during the years after the Six Day War. He felt it would destablish the region. In fact President Ronald Reagan initiated a strategic agreement with Hussein and Iraq signing National Security Study Directive 4-82 and selecting Donald Rumsfeld as his emissary to Hussein. Hussein was then visited in December 1983 and March 1984 after 1982 when Iraq was removed from a list of State Sponsors of Terrorism and dual-use technology was shared. Reagan did not want to take out Hussein, in fact he felt to do so would strengthen Iran and fall Iraq into sectarian violence and some extremists far worse than Saddam would emerge. Trump is a Reagan Rupublican in 2016, he is spot on.
Some of you Cruz supporters do not know what you are talking about. I worked and donated to the Reagan campaigns, and I will guarantee you if alive he would be supporting Trump.
Excellent post.
GHB despised Reagan (”Voo-doo economics”) - as did the entire Bush Family. So, there you go.
What does that have to do with anything? I am not defending G.W. decision to go to Iraq for which I for one had to participate in 2003.... Trump bashed Bush over 911 you know that old Liberal conspiracy MIHOP (Making it happen on purpose) LIHOP (letting it happen on purpose). The feckless Clinton Administration doing nothing after Al Qaeda embassy attacks, the USS Cole etc Clinton allowed Bin Laden to plot 911 that is a fact not mentioned by Trump as he ranted about Bush being President on 911 would he rather have had Al GORE ? He might as well have said it... There was no reason for this attack against GW I respected GW actions after 911 and he did keep us safe no matter what you and your boy think, there were many people that believed we would undergo scores of attacks none happened, I used to have to debate that with Liberals, it is a strange day when I have to re-litigate that with Conservatives. As far as Trump being a Reagan republican... LOL your on drugs... Regan was the great communicator Trump is a bumbling fool who can’t articulate any coherent policy... its all bluster. Trump ain’t nuthin’ but Ross Perot with an ear job and a hair weave; equally skillful in pointing out problems but just as lacking in specifics as to how to solve them, and just nutty enough so as to be unelectable further assuring a Democrat victory. Good luck with that...
