I agree. You also have to consider how Carter had decimated our own military. Reagan's increased spending to rebuild our defenses won the Cold War. Obama is doing all he can to ensure no American war victory remains in the win column.

That is the unfortunate irony about all this. I said Reagan's presidency stands even now as an undisputed, unqualified success, and it does. All that Reagan accomplished in winning the Cold War was basically forfeited back to the loser in the first week of Obama's Presidency. One of his first acts was to defraud Poland from the missile system headed her way as lawfully agreed to by Obama's predecessors, and was scrapped toot'swēt'. Further, stability in the Middle East region has been negotiated away in favor of a blazing hell. Those who have gone on before understood the tribal system much better than our present community organizer-in-chief, and the orderliness they established though at times uneasy, did last until it was unraveled by the rank amateurs behind the scenes today.
