Ronald Reagan actually said...

"We want to struggle, but it is dangerous to have friends like you–to be left stranded on the landing beaches of the Bay of Pigs."

"The only way to bring true peace and security to Central America is to bring democracy to Nicaragua."

"Now the Senate and House conferees...will meet to hammer out the differences between their two bills."

"Who among us would tell these brave young men and women: 'Your dream is dead; your democratic revolution is over; you will never live in the free Nicaragua you fought so hard to build?'"
