Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The truth is, we intend to stand by an old and trusted ally, and we mean that for all our allies."

"How can we comprehend the moral worth of a man who saved tens and tens of thousands of lives, including those of Congressman and Mrs. Lantos?"

"I think the imbalance of forces, for example, on the Western front, in the NATO line—we are vastly outdistanced there."

"We have to have it, because between the aging B-52 and the bomber we are developing, the newer bomber, there is too long a time gap in there."
