Reagan pulled the marines out of Lebanon. Do you think he'd be stil be in Iraq?

I doubt Reagan would have been stupid enough to put our troops in a no-win situation like this one in the first place, much less keep them there.

I see from your home-page that you are a Christian fiscal conservative (at least, I imagine anyone who's a coupon-aholic must be!).

Would you like to be on the Ron Paul GOP primary supporter list, and be pinged to future Ron Paul campaign news and articles?

One thing is for certain in my mind. Had Reagan taken us there Iraq would not have been spared as Bush has done. Like Gilligan's Island "No phones, no lights no motor cars, not a single luxury." Bush went in to Iraq for the purpose of nation building as was obvious by the second night of bombings. We left critical targets most sane leaders in war would taken out first. Bush didn't even have the good brains to order TV stations and communications systems destroyed. Remember Bagdad Bobs daily show?

The R.O.E.'s are insane had we used them in WW we would be under German rule today. Instead the Iraqi's are using them to have such things as Marines, sailors, and soldiers put on trial. Not theirs OURS. Thank you Mr Bush. That is what the Bush is Never Ever Wrong Oh We Must Praise him or be a traitor crowd can not comprehend.

I believe if Reagan had sent troops in on this scale it would have been a formal Declaration of War for starters. He would do that to obligate congress to it's support and conclusion. Our forces under Reagan would have likely took out their critical infrastructure, Saddam and sons and thenleft Iraq with a mess to deal with rather than having the U.S. at taxpayer expense build a new improved haven for their soon to come next thug dictator. Next would have came Mission Accomplished, bringing them home two years ago to a Hero's Welcome and the nations thanks.

The Radical Islamic Clerics who stir the pot or terrorism will NEVER ALLOW a free Iraq. NEVER! There will never be peace in Iraq. Our best option is to let them go at each other and hopefully another nation just as bad if not worse. Gee didn't Reagan do that? Oh No Bush wants to be Mr NWO. If he would keep Condi home for a rew months and out of Israels hair maybe they could do some cleaning up for us as well. Israel can't even deal with terrorist because the U.S. State Dept comes to Israels enemies rescue. Bush Foreign Policy is NUTS! Just like Clintons, just like Poppy's.

Option #2. Rescind the RINO POTUS Ford's E.O. that got us into this mess to start with and start using Covert Ops ran by the Pentagon to deal with them. Cut off the head of the snake.
