    This is how we ended up with the Iran-Contra Scandal. The Reagan administration wanted to fight the growing communist forces in Nicaragua, but Congress forbid them, and denied them funding.

    They decided to find the money by selling highly inflated arms to our bitterest enemy at the time, IRAN, only a few short years after they had held our Embassy officials hostage for over a year.

    They took the profits of those illegal arms sales, and used it to finance their illegal war on Central America.

    So these traitors don’t even take no for an answer when Congress shuts off the money tap.
