Signs of battle scar the road from Basra to Baghdad as well. A dozen immobilized Iraqi tanks rest beside the highway, some with gaping holes in their armor, others mere burned-out hulks.

It is no coincidence that the 20 point dive in Reagan's approval rating comes at a time when the majority of Americans believe that he knew about the funding...
