And now at 7:55pm EST, 5 minutes till the Iraq deadline : A Reagan quote.
Me

Posted on 03/19/2003 4:55:11 PM PST by Odyssey-x

Given that it's 5 minutes till the Iraq war deadline ends I thought it would be timely to recall the following quote:

"I have just signed a bill that will outlaw Russia forever. The bombing starts in 5 minutes." - Ronald Reagan (Doing microphone check at 1984 GOP Convention)
Here's an audio of it

And to quote the Iraqis tomorrow:

"You've been planning that!"

The countdown clock on MSNBC cracks me up. Reminds me of New Year's Eve.

Thanks for the memory, Odyssey-x. President Reagan surely was reviled for that. Then a few years later, the Wall came tumbling down.

This world can be a very different place when its greatest country has a great president.

COOL POSTER!

I agree.

But I have to wonder...

Why the concern for Allah?
