If I am not mistaken , Haig went on TV the day Reagan was shot. And
he claimed that 'He is in charge' !!!

He was in the White House press room the day of the shooting,
answering questions about what had happened, the President's
condition, etc...not really able to give much information.

Neither the Vice President, nor the Speaker were available to
answer questions. One reporter asked, 'Who's in charge, right now?'

And Haig answered, "I am."

Understandable. But he should have said some thing like "Vice President
Herbert Herbert Bush is remaining in constant contact while traveling
post haste to White House Command Central, where I am holding down the
fort".

John Hinkley was a prime example
of the need for firearms training in America's schools,
couldn't hit the broad side of a president at twenty paces,
had to get a lucky ricochet under the armpit,
bet that tickled!

From these historical events I
conclude: Hinckley and Cheney went to the same firearms training
school. I am totally convinced about that.

The Soviets were by far as stupid as you may claim. Where are these

Only once? You don't think the JFK assassination was a coup?
