Chapter Eighty Seven
"Mr President, what is your opinion on these guerilla wars going on right now in all these Communist countries?"
"Nicaragua, Afghanistan, you mean?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, I support these movements fighting for liberation."
"Do you intend to arm them, or something like that?"
"My priority is the national interest, and again-I do support those people, but I'm still examining these options."
-James Buckley and Tom Brokaw (1981)
"Kirkpatrick supported the Contra movement, but Buckley worried over a lot of these drug connections a lot of those guerilla leaders had. Afghanistan, there was less division. But when it came to Nicaragua, the President-then-did not want to step in a clear direction."
-Alexander Haig (1990)
