Guardian: Reports " The recordings include Reagan trying to convince an intractable Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin.....the president discussing the release of western hostages in the Middle East with Pakistani president Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, and a talk with Syrian president Hafez al-Assad, "
Lets Get Real:
It seems President Reagan was not afraid to tape his calls, one would have thought after Watergate that no tape recording advice was allowed in to the White House, thank goodness Reagan did not talks about Iran - Contra on these tapes. The Gipper was to clever to get caught out like that, it will be interesting to hear these talks, as they show a President dealing with various Crisis in the Middle East at the moment. One wonders what Reagan would have made of President Obama, one can assume that Reagan would have been impressed with his PR skills, on the other hand he would have seen Obama as another LBJ, spending money like its going out of fashion and extending the role of Government in to the health of Americans. One wonders who would have won a Presidential election if it was Reagan and Obama at their high points, interesting.
