@dlowan,
Grenada! Granada is in Andalucia in Spain. Home of the Alhambra.

I haven't actually looked to see where their medals came from, but isn't it nice to see a country the USA invaded doing so well Wink

In fact, Grenada is an island, and an independent nation, thousands of miles from Spain. It is that Grenada which is referred to in Olympic news.

Independent-ish, it is nevertheless part of the British Commonwealth ( its head of State being Queen Elizabeth) but that fact was apparently unknown to the American forces which invaded it in the 1980s.

Or they knew, but they just invaded anyway.

@McTag,
I have doubts that Ronald Reagan even knew in which sea or ocean the island was located, Mac.

@Lustig Andrei,
Do you now?

And they are based on what, your smug and rote assumption that he was stupid?

A typically vacuous comment by a Liberal: Conseratives are stupid!

It may interest (and disappoint) you to know that Granada celebrates the Reagan ordered invasion/liberation of their country.

But then what do those bloody WOGs know?

@Finn dAbuzz,
I don't believe I used the word "stupid" even once,Finn. And please don't make blanket assumptions about either my so-called liberalism or my opinion of Conservatives. You can have no knowledge of either.

I admit it was a flip comment. But it's well-known that by this time in history, President Reagan was already suffering from dementia in a fairly advanced stage. His inattention and confusion at press conferences was the stuff that newsmen chuckled over. (Sam Donaldson of ABC almost made a career of commenting on Reagan's alleged drooling and nodding off at times.) I recall a televised press conference the day before the iinvasion during which the Grenada invasion was never alluded to. But Reagan looked thoroughly confused and lost and I remember commenting on it at the time. Later, when the invasion was in full swing we all automatically assumed that his seeming confusion at the press conference had been due to having so much on his mind in re: the forthcoming landing on Gernada. It was only much later, when the truth about his Alzheimer's became known, that I started to revise my opinion on what had caused the less than presidential demeeanor at that press briefing.

The invasion of Gernada was not only a mistake, it was unforgiveable saber-rattling.

The facts tell anyone with half a brain that, Finn. Have someone explain it to you.

What does a Spanish city care about this issue? (Or a Manchester based TV company?) Also, if you wish to be cuttingly ironic towards Brits, the phrase "bloody wogs" fell out of use about 50 years ago, so try to update your stereotype library a bit, there's a good chap.

Andy implies that Reagan shud have told them our guys were on the way.
He probably thinks Reagan shud have told the communists
where the pro-freedom American forces were going to land
so that the Reds woud know where
to set up ambushes against us.

Reagan was not another kennedy.
Reagan was LOYAL to America.

What a commie-lover!
The concept of human degradation under communist slavery
must inspire u with thrills of felicity, bliss and satisfaction, right Andy ??
Were u broken-hearted, upon the death of communism????
Do the members of your family spit on u when thay see u ?
Do thay throw things at u while expressing their evaluations of u, in your native language ?

Ronald Reagan miraculously, PEACEFULLY caused the end of the 3rd World War
of communist conquest on Christmas Eve of 1991 (during the Bush Administration).

I used to believe that (with American liberal help), the communists woud win that war,
achieving world conquest & unlimited totalitarianism, in fulfillment of Marx's lust.

I used to believe that because of liberal perfidy, communist battle tanks 'd eventually
come rolling down my street, so that I 'd have to shoot my mother in the head
and then give up my own life, killing as many commies as possible.

Ronald Reagan obviated that. It came out better.
Grenada was one battle of the 3rd World War. We won.
We can never thank Reagan enuf.

@OmSigDAVID,
The so-called Reds are too intelligent to know that any action by them against the US would have resulted in their total annihilation.

Where do you get your info from? BTW, the Reds are much smarter than you!

The communists were smart enuf to lose the war.

Show me where and when I "hold communist slavery in high esteem?"
You can't.

Why should I go live in N Korea? I'm 77 years old, and have lived a very good life right here in the US of A. My working career was short by normal standards, and I have traveled to over 170 countries. What have you done?

If you have the hots for N Korea, and that is that your wish? Go ahead! It'll fit your personality.
