    Reminds me of the timeless Ronald Reagan quote:

    A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions tell me that’s true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.

        Ronald was an amazing man. You can disagree with him politically and still say he was an interesting man. I personally agree with his politics but I admire most his sense of humor. I wish more presidents could have his sense of humor.

      He did. You want to know something wild? Israel supplied arms to Iran as well I was just a kid during that war but now that I’m older, we supplied both sides which is insane.
