Why did conservatives arm, train, finance Bin Laden, Iran, Saddam, Contra's?

Question

Reagan and George H.W Bush gave arms, training, money to Bin Laden and his Mujahadeen. This despite several C.I.A operatives who warned Bin Laden couldn't be trusted.

Reagan and Bush gave arms to Iran (Iran Contra affair). Regan wussed out and negotiated with terrorists to give weapons for hostages.

Reagan and Bush (seeing a pattern here) gave WMD's to Saddam. Even after killing thousands they kept giving them to Saddam. That's why we know Saddam never had WMD's, because he ran out and we finally said no.

Contra's got arms and money from, drum roll please. REAGAN AND BUSH!!

Any other enemy's you conservatives decided to arm? Why did they help these terrorist's? Is the theory that conservatives are that dumb and that's why? Or are they willing to sell us out to anybody for the right price?

Answer 1

its called SLEEPING WITH THE ENENY you forgot noriega

Answer 2

Why? I do not know...but its just sad that this gov. doesnt care for its citizens. Sendin young men and women to be killed overseas while bush and his boyfriend dick cheney vacation everyother day, while we pay 3 something dolars for gas =( So I guess they helped those terrorists and then build up "the homeland security department" to draw attention away from their dumb a ss es . Because both Bush and Regean are both FAGS


Honestly, it's very plain to see with much proof under our noses. Firstly, Bush's family has had close ties with Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Two widely known terrorists. His family has financially supported these people in desecrating man kind for their own sick pleasure. Whether he inadvertedly knew it or not, he's still responsible. You don't just hand someone some money or some supplies without knowing what they'll do with it. Secondly, his father was very badly embarassed by Saddam back in the late 80's during his presidency when he was dealing with. It was a deal gone bad between the two families and when it reached the media's ears, they basically ruined his name. So it's easy to see that the "good" son had to avenge the name. Thirdly, he had another major plan going into office. It is widely known from Bush Sr. that the Bush family is against abortion at all costs. This can be proven by Geroge W.'s removal of democratic reps and replacements of republicans who give him their utmost obedience without a thought. He uses their obedience and offices to his benefit to try and turn over Roe vs. Wade (the Federal ct. hearing about abortion being legalized in the 70's). Ladies and gentleman. last but not least ... we have one more thing. He's power hungry. You can see it in the way he treats other world leaders. He's techinically just an ambassador ... and not a true "ruler" (which is what he wants to be). He treats other world leaders with no respect and insults their standings which is why no one wants to help the U.S. at this point. The things he has done with his office term and his power can be held akin to being a dictator. He has illegally desecrated American rights to listen to calls, e-mails, postings, etc., has had people act as an American Gestapo, and even gone to the extent of controlling the media in what they are allowed to broadcast. Is it just me, or does someone else see a problem with this?

Answer 3

Reagan did it because Iran was about to break through and win against Iraq in that war. Reagan didnt care anything about who Saddam was in the 80s it was just to not making Iran win.

Same with Soviet and Afghanistan. US didnt care less about who was on the afghan side just that they was fighting the cold war enemy Soviet.

Now US is hugging the old dictator Khaddafi. He pleased US with oil and US let him stay at power.

Answer 4

The Democrats have done what exactly to help the situation?

Jimmy Carter had hostages taken. Bubba Clinton got some favors from an intern for 8 years and Took out those hostile Branch Davidians.

More accusations and STILL no ideas how to fix ANYTHING.

Answer 5

WOW - it sure is easy to analyze very difficult problems AFTER the fact, eh?

The term "Monday Morning Quarterback" comes to mind.

The policies you speak of, when they were taking place, were aimed at what we perceived as the lesser of numerous evils. In at least one example, it came back and bit us.
These were not all solely Republican or Democratic decisions, but came from both sides of the isle.
These were and are very difficult and trying times - and at no time are we knowingly providing arms to our enemies.

Answer 6

if you're in the oil business (Bush H.)... or into weapons/military... then you can follow this recipe:

take crazy people... with crazy ideas... in oil rich lands... add money and guns... then let them bake for about 20 years...

the next thing you know... you have an enemy that you can fight to fuel the weapons business/gov. defense contracts and destabilize the oil fields, driving up the price...

wohooo!... you're a billionaire with halliburton and exxon!

Answer 7

So they could kill mutton heads like you. You Liberials are pretty good at pointing the finger at the other guy but can't seem to see the harm you and your irk deal out on a daily bases. If your going to tell tales why don't you try telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth smart guy.

Answer 8

Clinton and Carter gave Nuclear technology to North Korea. Are they conservatives too?

Answer 9

Yes and there were plenty of liberals in office at the time that did nothing but support it. Just because a conservative is in office doesn't mean they are the only ones in control.

Answer 10
