Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Peace through strength is a fact of life, and it's about time for America to leave uncertainty and indecision behind."

"The Senate's action is sure to send a profoundly reassuring signal to those fighting for freedom in Nicaragua."

"I urge those Members of the House who were not with us last week to cast a positive vote for freedom and for the national security interests of the United States."

"America and our allies in the cause of freedom have never been perfect, but we have nothing to apologize for."
