Reagan and the Unfolding Iran-Contra Deals
Tons of arms are sent to Iran, the terror merchants of the Near East. Millions of dollars are sent to Swiss banks to finance the overthrow of a Central American government.
Unnamed Americans and Israelis make the foreign policy of the United States. Meetings are held in the White House attended by Vice Adm. John Poindexter, Lt. Col. Oliver North and how many others? Yet Atty. Gen. Meese III tells us the President of the United States was unaware and uninformed of these events!
Did all of this happen after his bedtime? Was he campaigning too hard for the Republican Party? Is the President unable to handle such a weight of information? Or are the people of this republic being lied to?
