Neocons look at Reagan the way Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dymanite looked at himself. "I tell you what boys, if Reagan'd been around now, none a this'd be happenin. We'd be high on the hog no doubt about it."

At least Reagan had a clue. If anybody on here saw Obama's teleprompterless presser on ISIS yesterday, we are truly a country without a leader. It amazes me how inept this man is.

Well of course he's better than Obama, but I don't think he'd appreciate that comparison. But he wasn't some foreign policy genius as people now like to paint him.

Reagan pulled out of Lebanon when the marine barracks were bombed. He got out as fast as he could.

Probably the least correct statement about Reagan, especially in his second term.

We should be thankful that Reagan was a pragmatist, and not the cartoon character some on the right have made him out to be, otherwise he would have started WWIII instead of make peace Gorbachev, and he would have doubled down in Lebanon instead of cut our losses there.

Ike and Bush 41 ran circles around Reagan when it cames to foreign policy, but ironically the right-wingnuts have elevated Reagan over both of them. Can someone explain this?

Yeah, after the attempt to kill him he found out real fast who was in charge.
