That was terrible.
That was the only point I'm making.
The only descriptive point I'm making is that Ronald Reagan is one of the great symbols universally understood of American military strength abroad.

What about George H.W.
Bush?
George H.W.
Bush was actually the president during the literal end of the Cold War, when the Berlin Wall actually came down.
George H.W.
Bush, who invaded Iraq, don't you remember, in the Gulf War?
What did he do?
Did he occupy Iraq for 10 years, 20 years?
No, no, no.
He stopped short of toppling Saddam.
