Unlike Obozo and Shrillary....Reagan took responsibility and cooperated in the investigation that followed the Beirut bombing. There was no coverup, no lying to families of the fallen...in short.....NONE of the BS these bozos in the Obozo Admin have pulled...

deserved Congressional Investigation for malfeasance it was Beruit Attack. ....There were 241 marines left hanging out to die in Beruit, they were just so unprotected & exposed. Amazes always everytime I've heard all this dog/pony show and the mock railing over Benghazi, how the most terrible single loss in our marine's history is glossed over & those men's lives forgotten. Ronald Reagan didn't have a ME policy, the bombings were October 23, 1983 - At 6:22 am we were forced to turn tail withdrawing all personel the following Feb. The bomber was allowed to get the truck within 15yards of the building assuring total destruction. This is the kind of lax use/regard of intelligence that was in our possession, which makes one almost weep & tear out hair. Its my real pleasure to see the GOP finally disintegrate & exposed for the frauds & inept imbeciles they are. 1983 Beirut barracks bombings en.wikipedia.org A few weeks before the bombing, Iran warned that providing armaments to Iran's enemies would provoke retaliatory punishment. [Notes 1] On September 26, 1983, "the National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted an Iranian diplomatic communications message from the Iranian intelligence agency, the Ministry of Information and Security (MOIS)," to its ambassador, Ali Akbar Mohtashemi, in Damascus. The message directed the ambassador to "take spectacular action against the American Marines." [50] The intercepted message, dated September 26, would not be passed to the Marines until October 26: three days after the bombing. [51]
