I can't really ignore (sorry) the context. we protect a country from man we were arming a few years earlier. shame is a better word than pride.

you mean Reagan?! I can't be proud of illegal wars and negotiating with terrorists. the guy supported Saddam AND bin Laden. amazing that you even mention him. perhaps you didn't know.

I told you exactly why I thought you were. I pointed it out. no need to bring up all this other stuff.
In each of these examples I cited what you could be proud of. You chose to pick how Bush used 9/11 as an excuse to go to war. I was referring to how the people of the US banded together for a common cause.

We helped Kuwait from being overtaken period. Spin it how you want.

You discount the great things Reagan did, which is what I referred to, and brought up something totally different.

Again, who is really being dishonest here?
