Reflagging of Oil Tankers
In the wake of the Lt. Col. Oliver North adulation, I think it is important to remember that Reagan has pledged American naval vessels to escort Kuwaiti ships through the Persian Gulf. The primary purpose is of course to protect the shipping from Iranian attack.
Then let us all understand, when the first American sailor is killed defending a Kuwaiti ship, that North sold the ammunition to the Iranians.
