This can’t be Bush’s fault. Must be Reagan’s.

“Caracas continues to be notorious for the brazenness of high-profile, violent crimes such as murder, robberies, and kidnappings,” said the report. “Armed assaults and robberies continue to be a part of everyday life.”

Just another gun control success story!

An end to ‘foreign’ aid!
