George Will remarked that historians may conclude that this was the administration that lost the cold war. It's attributed to his book "The New Season" which was written itself in 1987. The book itself was more about the Reagan presidency and looking ahead to the 88 election. IT seems extremely unlikely that he'd comment on a current event that had little to do outright with the election so I find the cite dubious.
The only other quote I can find in an internet search has almost the same line verbatim from Will in 1984 about the lack of a response to the Soviets flagrant acts. More than likely he was referencing actions the administration took and not the treaty itself.
Every citation of Will that I've found on the internet goes back to the same cited source which states similar to your statement. So am I to believe you actually read the book and came to the same conclusion this one single possibly faulty reference on the web came to, or am I to believe that in your mad scramble to get criticisms of Reagan you grabbed one that you got on the internet and hyped it.
I'm going to go with, you got your learning on the internet and only care about citing things that are factually nebulous to the argument though may be bluffed into appearing to agree.
