President Reagan’s Secret Dealing With Iran
President Reagan’s decision to ship arms to Iran was wrong. If all the President wanted to do was to open a dialogue with moderate factions in Iran, he could have done so with donations of foodstuffs and/or medical supplies.
Whatever face is now put on the arms shipments, it sure looks like a quid pro quo to gain the release of the hostages--something the Administration vowed it would not do. I’m a strong Reagan supporter, but he blew this one.
