If so, the numbers were insignificant.

The point, of course, is that you claimed or implied that Carter was somehow responsible for putting Stingers in the hands of the Mujs.

That is a patently false assertion.

"The first Stinger was fired in Afghanistan in '86. "

So? It was first fielded in 1981.

"To suggest that Carter had ANYTHING to do with funding it is absurd."

Only to the ignorant.

How so? All Reagan had to say was tear down your wall.......oh wait, wrong movie.

Let me start again.......all Reagan had to say in January, 1981.....right after his inauguration.....I want a stinger missile asap and viola!.....he got one in time to fire it in Afghanistan in 1981. Twue story!
