Remember, The Marine barracks Bombing attack happened on RayGuns watch!
Oh these Repukes are so high and mighty... They keep claiming that everything bad that happened in the last hundred years happened on Clinton's watch! Let's not forget that over 240 Marines were killed in their barracks in Lebanon during Ronald Reagans term in office....

1. and he did nothing
also the first trade center bombing happened 1 month into Clinton's watch no warning,the second and third happened 9 months into the thiefs watch with ample warning.

3. Didn't he invade Grenada ...
Could this be the first "Attacked by one, Attack another weaker" foreign policy ? I am confused about the timeline here.

Cheers

2. Yes, you are right
that it happened under Reagan, but you are obviously only saying that because you got passed over for a promtion in the bush administration. I am beginning to think you don't LOVE FREEDOM. Confess!!!!

7. You purposely avoid the true issue
and twist the facts to fit your communist agenda! Answer this, in the name of J. Edgar Hoover: Did President Reagan, or did he not, address the nation on just this issue WHILE STANDING IN FRONT OF A FLAG????
So, you DON'T LIKE OUR FLAG??? You are AGAINST our troops who die for that flag? You hate Pat Boone and Jesus? You are DANGEROUS!

8. You guys are great. Maybe you could write for Tim Robbin's next play!
Embedded, a play written and directed by Tim Robbins is being performed at the Public Theater in New York. (www.publictheater.org)

In These Times, Mar. 29, 2004, has an excerpt-it's hillarious.

5. and he "appeased" the terrorists
by pulling our troops out of Lebanon.

OK, I don't think they should have been there in the first place, but by their logic, that is appeasement.

12. Yes I do. A friend's younger brother was killed in that attack.
It pretty much ruined his family. Now the family's daughter has been stationed in Iraq (she joined the Army when she turned 18 to honor her brother)......:-(.


Ronnie the original bobblehead......"Let's go crush some nutmeg".

14. And Let's Not Forget Afghanistan
And that Afghanistan was escalated under Reagan's watch as well, though in all fairness is was with the complicity and determination of Representative Charlie Wilson, D-Texas.

He's the kind of guy who would be a Zell Miller Republican today.
