"Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass: "On foreign policy he will be honored as the president who won the Cold War,..."
The operative words here are "he will be honored as"; Kennedy did not say that Pres. Reagan, in fact, won the Cold War.
Good catch in deciphering Ted's carefully chosen (for a change)words ("will be honored for," rather than: he won). English, what a marvelous language for its nuances.
