Star Member kpete (45,791 posts) No, Obama is not giving arms to Iran, that was THIS guy.While probing the question of the arms-for-hostages deal, Attorney General Edwin Meese discovered that only $12 million of the $30 million the Iranians reportedly paid had reached government coffers. Then-unknown Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council explained the discrepancy: he had been diverting funds from the arms sales to the Contras, with the full knowledge of National Security Adviser Admiral John Poindexter and with the unspoken blessing, he assumed, of President Reagan.http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/general-article/reagan-iran/
Reagan had an extremely hostile media to deal with, dummie. obumbles? Not so much. I bet if the media was one quarter as hostile with obumbles as they were with Reagan or Bush, he would be organizing a community somewhere.
