Report does not say he supported terrorists
In the Iran initiative, President Reagan chose to proceed in the utmost secrecy, disregarding the Administration's public policy prohibiting arms sales to nations supporting terrorism.
Nothing in the report shown said he suppored terrorists, just that the nations he sold arms to themselves suported terrorists. So no, ronald regan did not support terrorists. Second, it was not as much supporting Iran as it was being against Iraq, just as we gave weapons to afgahnistan to defeat the soviets, not to support their country. So yes he did sell weapons to Iran, but no this was not supporting terrorits
On a aditional note, when I first asked for proof in message 62, I meant proof of all of jar's other allegations, most of which I have yet to see proof of.
But let's look specifically at RR and Terrorism. He supported, funded and created the Contras. He approved having the CIA smuggle drugs into the US as a means of funding activities that had been specifically forbidden by Congress. He created, funded, trained and equiped the mujahadeen in Afgansitan, the Kurds, Sunni and Shia uprisings in Iran and Iraq, traded weapons to IRAN, and funded, supported, equipped and trained terrorists in Nicaragua and Hondurus as well as supporting General Noriega in Panama. And, as a parting shot, he had all of the records sealed effectively shutting off the investigation known as Iran-Contra and protecting George Bush from the fallout.

Re: Report does not say he supported terrorists
I'm afraid thats complete rubbish - of course reagan supported terrorists, In 1986 the Reagan government agreed to support the Angolan terrorist organisation UNITA directly, opening an airbase in Kamina, Zaire in early 1997. This was to provide assistance to UNITA against Cuban regulars and FAPLA guerillas.
Reagan definitely directly and consciously supported terrorism, but in so doing only continued normal American Cold War practice.

Re: Report does not say he supported terrorists
Read the Reports of the Iran Contra investigation. Also look at the executive order by Reagan before leaving office that sealed the records and effectively closed down the investigation.

Re: The wife?
A lot of Aussie's say, John Howard is in bed with Bush, so does that make Australia the wife?
Then again lil Johnnie denies it all, so maybe we are just the mistress.
Either way there is a lot of unhappy aussies.
Darling man that lil Johnnie is though, he managed to buy some favour back, $600 for every child a few weeks before election.
