Whatsamatta lil'reagancomic,
afraid of THE TRUTH?
Here's some
(please excuse my usage of this next word
that Contem****ary Conservatives Consider
to be Obsence)
++++++++++++
| EVIDENCE |
++++++++++++
to back up my statement,
----- ---- -- -- ---
I offer A GREATLY ABRIDGED VERSION of Reagans'
NODDING OUT AT THE HELM OF DESTINY PRESIDENCY
with a few choice cites from the Walsh Iran/Contra re****t:
Chapter 27 - President Reagan.
"In the Iran initiative, President Reagan chose to
proceed in the utmost secrecy, disregarding the
Administration's public policy prohibiting arms sales to
nations sup****ting terrorism. He also chose to forgo
congressional notification under the National Security
Act and the Arms Ex****t Control Act. Having bypassed
accountability to Congress, the President failed either
to establish an effective system of accountability
within the Administration or to monitor the series of
activities he authorized." 3
FOOTNOTE 3
In his written answers to interrogatories
requested by Independent Counsel and the Grand Jury,
Reagan stated that he did not monitor the details of the
Iran arms sales and had no specific knowledge of such
key matters as North's role or Secord's role. The
President said he did not authorize any profits from the
sale of arms to Iran and that he was unaware that there
were excess proceeds and that some of them were diverted
to aid the contras.
Ronnie did not monitor the implementation of his executive orders
which provided modern weaponry to a country which was on his own
list of States that sup****ted terrorism, and therefore banned from
receiving American weapons. His inattention to the minor details
of arming a terrorist state in an effort to secretly pay a ransom
to an NGO terrorist org which held American hostages, meant that
he didn't have a ****ing clue about all of the cash flying about
the world, and ending up in the hands of the Contras in direct
violation of Congressional law.
Although, if the Gimper had possessed any sense, he would have
realised that this was a distinct probability, given his
orders regarding the Contras.
"As with the Iran initiative, President Reagan was
apparently unconcerned as to the details of how his
policy objectives for contra sup****t were being carried
out by subordinates who were operating virtually free
from oversight or accountability. President Reagan made
it clear to his national security advisers Robert C.
McFarlane and Poindexter that he wanted to keep the
contra resistance alive 'body and soul.' He said he
told them to stay within the law, including the Boland
Amendment restrictions on U.S. aid to the contras. In
doing so, he confronted his staff with two virtually
incompatible objectives."
Reagan gave orders to his subbordinates that were mutually
exclusive. Since Nixon, the GOP has proffered Presidential
candidates who could offer as a defense of their admin's criminal
acts, Plausible Deniability. It is an intergral element of
contem****ary conservatism strategy, only Reagan wasn't a true
ContempoCon, since his Rampant Intelligence Failures were of
organic origin, and not due to dedicated mental slothfullness.
"There is no doubt that, at least beginning with his
appearance at a dinner for the Nicaraguan Refugee Fund
in April 1985 and continuing through mid-1986, President
Reagan, like North, was a frequent and enthusiastic
fundraiser for contra-related causes... President Reagan
stated that he did not know that North wound up with
actual control of the funds raised through NEPL and
passed them through to the secret Swiss accounts managed
by retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Richard V. Secord and
Albert Hakim.
Ronnie didn't even think to ask about what was happening to all of
the money, even though he'd commanded that the Contra be kept
viable, "body and soul"? What a maroon!
It seems that hus presidential self couldn't even remeber
what his public politiking persona had been saying:
FOOTNOTE 29
"Reagan, Remarks and a Question-and-Answer Session With
Southeast Regional Editors and Broadcasters, 5/15/87,
Public Papers of the Presidents, 1987, Vol. I, p. 514:
'These [the contras] are people who are fighting for
democracy and freedom in their country. And here
there's no question about my being informed. I've known
what's going on there. As a matter of fact, for quite a
long time now, a matter of years, I have been publicly
speaking of the necessity of the American people to
sup****t our program of aid to those freedom fighters
down there in order to prevent there being established a
Soviet beachhead here in the Western Hemisphere, in
addition to the one we already have in Cuba. And to
suggest that I am just finding out or that things are
being exposed that I didn't know about -- no. Yes, I was
kept briefed on that. As a matter of fact, I was very
definitely involved in the decisions on the sup****t to
the freedom fighters. It was my idea to begin with.'"
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
"I did not authorize or approve of the transfer to the
NSC or any of its staff any function or operation
performed by the CIA with respect to the Nicaraguan
Freedom Fighters. I do not recall anyone ever asking me
to approve or authorize the transfer of any function or
operation from the CIA to the NSC, and I do not recall
ever discussing such transfer."30
FOOTNOTE 30
Reagan, Grand Jury Interrogatories, Answer to Question 8
The there was Reagan's News Conference on November 19, 1986, in
which he contradicted what had already been admitted to publicly
by his own Chief of Staff, Sonald Reagan.
"Immediately after the press conference, the President's
aides tried to bring the President's comments into
conformance with the earlier Poindexter/Regan remarks by
issuing the following correction in the President's
name:
There may be some misunderstanding of one of my answers
tonight. There was a third country involved in our
secret project with Iran. But taking this into account,
all of the ****pments of the token amounts of defensive
arms and parts that I have authorized or condoned taken
in total could be placed aboard a single cargo aircraft.
This includes all ****pments by the United States or any
third country. Any other ****pments by third countries
were not authorized by the U.S. government."
How lamebrained is that?
Even with all of the Reagan's denials and contradictions in his
public statements, there was not enough evidence secure a
conviction beyond reasonable doubt, because Reagan may very well
not have been lying in his testimony, and maybe he really
couldn't remember jack****.
"The foregoing facts would suggest that the President,
during the first three weeks in November 1986, knowingly
participated or at least acquiesced in the efforts of
Casey, Poindexter and North to minimize or hide his
advance approval of and participation in the 1985
Israeli arms ****pments to Iran without notice to
Congress.
Yet, such a conclusion runs against President Reagan's
seeming blindness to reality when it came to the
rationalization of some of his Iran and hostage
policies. The ****trayal of President Reagan in the notes
of Regan and Weinberger, and Shultz's read outs to Hill,
not only the November 24, 1986, meeting but beginning at
least on December 7, 1985, show a consistent reiteration
of the President's position. The simple fact is that
President Reagan seems not to have been ashamed of what
he had done. He had convinced himself that he was not
trading arms for hostages, that he was selling arms to
develop a new opening with Iran, and that the recovery
of the hostages was incidental to a broader purpose. He
disdained the restrictions of the Arms Ex****t Control
Act. He made that clear as he brushed off Weinberger's
concerns about illegality on December 7, 1985. At the
November 24, 1986, meeting he was 'v[ery] hot under the
collar & determined he is totally right.'
In his deposition given to Independent Counsel in July
1992, his responses were still consistent with that
position. His memory had obviously failed. He had little
recollection of the meetings and the details of the
transactions. When his diary notes or other do***ents
were presented to him which expressed his 1985 and 1986
position, he was again firm in his statements that they
sounded like something he would have said and that he
still believed them to be true.
[. . .]
By July 1992, when Reagan agreed to a final, extensive
interview with Independent Counsel, it was obvious that
the former President truly lacked specific recollection
of even the major Iran/contra events which took place in
1984-1987."

I can keep playing this game for a very long time.
So, dya wanna keep playing?
Why douncha get all chatty bout a blowjob,
and remind all of us here who possess
any integrity, and sensibility,
How Worthless
Was Our Presidential Trade-In
Of
Virility
For
Vapidity.
