No, but he lied. He said we would not change our policy in Lebanon. VP Bush said we would not "be cowed by terrorists". He promised retaliation and then instead, they pulled us out. Victory for Hezbollah and Iran. Who knows, maybe we didn't want to screw up Reagan's secret arms deal with Iran.




Great spin.
if by spin you mean actual history then yes. I do not believe that a single fact in the statement is in dispute.

Not this poster. I well remember it. I remember exactly where I was when it was first reported. And you know what? Reagan did not blame it on a video.

Without bush's bring democracy by the point of a gun to the middle east, there would be no Arab spring and no Benghazi. The confused individuals are conservatives, if you can call a group mind an individual.


Just curious, is English your first language?


Hmmm, if it isn't then I would think you should congratulate the poster on working so hard to assimilate.

Iraq's withdrawal was set by Bush. .


SOFA get renegotiated frequently. Biden was in charge of renegotiating Iraq's SOFA. Do a little research.

Iraq's withdrawal was set by Bush. And Benghazi, in Libya, has nothing to do with Biden.
