Regarding Reagan's "floating crap game" description of the gov't of Grenada:
Nonsense.  The Canadian govt had negotiated for the departure of its nationals
with the military leaders.  Even the medical school had negotiated for the
safety of its students.  Both of these agreements were reached before the
invasion.  The "crap game" looks, I'm afraid, like a Big Lie, like the
"military airport", "hundreds of Cuban soldiers", and "medical students in
danger" lines.  I guess if you tell enough of them, people begin to believe
them all...
