Hillary Clinton was clever to use this as her new theme: "Clowns Jokers & Thieves"....welcome to the GOP, same as it ever was, same GOP as it ever was. (another good song, Talking Heads)
That republicans could actually accuse her of doing what they've done in spades, for decades, Beghazzi is a nat compared to Reagan's 1983 Beirut barracks bombings , he was warned then by Caspar Weinbeger. Republicans are truely the most lying group of Clowns Jokers & Thieves one can even begin to imagine. Behgazzi was a roll of the dice, the Arab Spring was happening so Hillary went for it, what country of morons have we become to not understand this? And 13 congressional hearings later they have nothing. but we have this:
Ronald Reagan's Beiruit disaster, how many marines? And these Jokers, Clowns & Thieves pretend not to remember Reagan's blunder too obsessed with penis size? (Too little brains)
In 2002, the Presidential Oral History Program at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs interviewed Caspar Weinberger about the six years (1981-1987) he spent as Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of Defense. Stephen Knott, the interviewer, asked him about the bombing of the U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut on Oct. 23, 1983, which killed 241 Marines. Here’s his answer: Weinberger: Well, that’s one of my saddest memories. I was not persuasive enough to persuade the President that the Marines were there on an impossible mission. They were very lightly armed. They were not permitted to take the high ground in front of them or the flanks on either side. They had no mission except to sit at the airport, which is just like sitting in a bull’s eye. Theoretically, their presence was supposed to support the idea of disengagement and ultimate peace. I said, “They’re in a position of extraordinary danger. They have no mission. They have no capability of carrying out a mission, and they’re terribly vulnerable.” It didn’t take any gift of prophecy or anything to see how vulnerable they were. middleeast.about.com
