What you find relevant is of no consequence. E contended that RR was sleeping with his wife each night:I wrote earlier, and repeat: This shameless man who had spent the war in Hollywood, lying each night next to his wife in a comfortable bed, drew around himself as a decoration the cloak of sacrifice that had been earned with blood, sweat and tears, as the precisely accurate cliche goes, by the "several millions" he claimed to have so much "in common with." Message 11475561 The fact that his military career was unusual is neither here nor there concerning E's or Wills' contention that Reagan was trying to steal glory from actual combatants or that he thought that he had served abroad. Reagan had been an officer in the Army reserve and was clearly disappointed that he was not allowed to go where the real action was. Biographers have detailed that: his eyesight and new baby plus Jack Warner's determined intervention kept him where he could be used and were, in that order, the deciding factors. >>How did you feel about the close personal relationship Reagan had with the Marcos family, and the effect that it had on US policy? Yeah, real close. We should ask E, maybe they were living together. Effect on US policy - Marcos lost power during Reagan's tenure. >>Isn't it somewhat unbecoming for the leader of the free world to be seen wrapped around the finger of one of the century's greatest crooks? Clinton always embarrasses. His financial deals with the corrupt leaders of Indonesia are certainly part of his legendary sleaze and the source of much Dem campaign cash. Sure, we know that Clinton had the US train the butchers of Timor for his paymasters. Sure Clinton even met with his bagman, Riady, while on his recent visit to NZ. elections98.washingtonpost.com FYI: Riady is on the run from US justice so Clinton meets with him:Clinton-Riady Overseas 'Encounter' Confirmed The White House acknowledged yesterday that Clinton had a very brief encounter in New Zealand with James Riady, the Indonesian businessman who has been sought for questioning since 1997 about campaign fund-raising. Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, inquired about a Wall Street Journal report that Riady used the economic summit meeting in New Zealand this month to chat with Clinton. search.washingtonpost.com btw, are they still laughing about Hillary's claim to have been named after Sir Edmund?
