The Most Significant Foreign Policy Decision In My Lifetime

[Ifly2]

"A few months ago, he said Ronald Reagan's greatest accomplishment in foreign policy was his firing of air-traffic controllers. Walker, who was born in 1967, called it "the most significant foreign policy decision in my lifetime," never mind the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, the rapprochement with China, the Strategic Defense Initiative, the Persian Gulf War or anything that happened after September 11, 2001."

- Scott Walker

Ranks right up there with Rick Perry calling mass murder in Charleston an accident.


Here's hoping The Donald actually gets the nomination....

"Scott Walker is a national disgrace."

You overlooked this little tidbit:
 

 
"It sent a message not only across America, it sent a message around the world," Walker said. America's allies and foes alike became convinced that Reagan was serious enough to take action and that "we weren't to be messed with," he said.

Did it matter what BaRack ever said since just about every word out of his mouth, was a lie?

Yep. Taken out of context, they're trying to make Walker look dumb. Too bad that the full quote makes complete sense, in that Reagan wasn't afraid of the unions (who at the time had real power in the electorate), so why would he be afraid of Gorbie or the USSR, (who was just a few years short of total economic and political collapse)?

You should read the book "Tear Down This Myth".  For all the bluster, Reagan only used his military against the powerful Grenada.  He cut and ran in Beirut, and he sold arms to Iran.   Yeah....he MEANT business.
