Ronald Reagan actually said...

"I know there are no words that can express our sorrow and grief over the loss of those splendid young men and the injury to so many others."

"I think we should all recognize that these deeds make so evident the bestial nature of those who would assume power if they could have their way."

"we must be more determined than ever that they cannot take over that vital and strategic area of the Earth."

"I know there are no words, also, that can ease the burden of grief for the families of those young men."
