Thread Name: BS: War in Georgia (2008)
Subject: RE: BS: War in Georgia
A bit more proofreading...Yes, Iran moved into Iraqi territory in the latter stages of the Iran-Iraq War. Reagan maintained a strict neutrality until Iran became the aggressors. He gave Iraqi diplomats sophisticated spy plane photographs showing the location of Iranian troop movements. He gave them no weapons and made it clear that when hostilites ended, the original borders were going to stand. Compare that to Kosovo, Bosnia and Geargia. Inconsistent foreign policy as I have already stated.
