Followed by Bush 41's pardon of Reagan Defense Sec. Casper Weinberger, even before he went to trial, to preserve, as much as possible, any further stain on Reagan record of these less than legal and/or honorable actions .

You failed to mention leaving the 1st Battalion 8th Marines under the US 2nd Marine Division as sitting ducks. After being bombed by terrorists and killing hundreds of Marines; Reagan "Cut and Run". He forever changed the way that terrorists of that region look at us -as cowards who give in to terrorists.
