I like the way you think!
“As I understand it, the deal was signed 24 hours before Reagan assumed office . . . It was Reagan who actually implemented the specifics, including payment of the ‘ransom’ money.”
Reagan was not the President and you think he had this power?
Even if it was signed, it was invalid since he was not authorized to make it work.
Sounds like you got your information from someone who wanted to put a black eye on Reagan.
He had no authority. Whether he signed some document or not, he was not President.
I think someone else did the signing.
The only real debate here is whether the hostages were released after Reagan was inaugurated. If not, he did not have the power to enforce anything.
Ok.. I gotcha, sort of like ‘series’ and ‘hugh’. Also thanks for the reference thread. Now I can see how it all got started when I wasn’t looking. LOL
“BONADUCE”, I believe....
That would be great! They could follow it up with current examples of costs to our economy by affirmative action...
C-SPAN viewing should be mandatory for every voter - at least 5 hours a year, in order for all voters to witness the intelligence levels of the democrats compared to the republicans. I'm a libertarian, but I always vote for the one who will demand less tax and possess more intelligence, which will never be a democrat. Ever. I often shake my head when watching them and wonder how on earth these people got elected.
