"The invasion was already under way, so even if we opposed it, there was nothing any of us could do," House Speaker Tip O'Neil said at the time. "I had some serious reservations, and I'm sure my Democratic colleagues did as well, but I'd be damned if I was going to voice any criticism while our boys were out there."

Yet another great repub invasion 'victory'....

Post #159,807 by boxley 6/13/04 8:24:59 PM Reply	Oh, grenada monroe doctrine thingy. let me quote your article Casualties included 135 Americans killed or wounded, 84 Cubans, and some 400 Grenadians. The cubans were on a cigar selling promotional campeign I suppose. Of those 84 how many more were not hurt? At this time Cuba had a division at least in Angola. A continent away from a small carribean Island who delcares itself at war with the US. thanx, bill Anchorage AK: House for sale 3 bed 1 bath 1440 sq feet huge lot near Cheney Lake 175K FSBO 813.273.3518 I wondered what Darwinian moment had to effect itself before we devolved from children flying paper flags in the sky to half formed creatures thundering in a wall of horns down the road to Roncevaux.

Post #159,841 by dmarker 6/14/04 5:23:01 AM Reply	Re: Oh, grenada I agree with you re any actions that were designed to contain Cuba (who were very clearly Soviet's proxies until gorby pulled the plug (wallet)). Issue re Grenada is just what it was really about. It can be fairly argued that it was a practice invasion for Panama which was a serious problem created by Carter when he signed the Panama Canal handover treaty. Most people fail to grasp the significance of Grenada being British & Maggie being the PM of the day & she would have had no hesitation in dealing with problems. In fact it may be argued that she agreed to a request from Ronnie to use the Grenada sitiuation to both their advantages.
