He made sure he won all his battles. |

But it was originally presented here without the context, as if it was a true statement, instead of a rather good joke for the entertainment of the press corps. |

Not intentionally tho. I think history will conclude that he played rather a clever hand. I don’t believe that on the clever. |

Also, whilst most of the quoted Star Wars stuff was clearly rubbish, he did open the door for Gorbachev. I think history will conclude that he played rather a clever hand. Apparently, at one summit in Russia, Gorby had a chat with Reagan, and confided in him they he had a dream about the White House... He said: "and do you know what I saw?" "No", said Reagan "I Saw a Red Flag flying on top of the White House!" Reagan was a little shocked. Gorby continued: "And there was writing on the flag" "What did it say?" "It said United States Soviet Socialist Republic" Reagan did not quite know what to make of this, but felt somehow he had been slighted. A year later the US were hosting a summit. Reagan had a chat with Gorby, and said: "You remember what you said about dreams last time we met?" "I remember" says Gorby. "Well, I had a dream the other night, and I saw a Red Flag flying from the roof of the Kremlin!" "A *Red* flag Mr President?" "Yes a Red Flag... and it had gold writing on it as well!" "What did the writing say Mr. President" "Hell don't know, I don't read Chinese!" -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

We begin bombing in five minutes." Reagan (not my favourite president) said this as a joke off-air when testing the sound system. It was never broadcast. It's slightly dishonest to give it as a Reagan quote. Er, if Reagan actually said it then surely it's a true quotation? But it was originally presented here without the context, as if it was a true statement, instead of a rather good joke for the entertainment of the press corps. Much like all those people who quote Mrs T when she said "there is no such thing as society"... She said it, but out of context it takes on a completely different meaning from how it was being used at the time. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
