Last time we messed with Hamas, . . .

Could you be more specific? I'm not sure what incident you're referring to.

While flexing in Lebanon in the 1983/84 era (with all due propaganda cover: bringing peace and democracy bla/lies/bla) US military was hit with a series of strikes by some Lebanon bad-boys. I never know or don't remember who was on whos side fighting for what, but the bad guys got us with: US Embassy strike, 63 dead, US military headquarters or barracks strike: 241 dead.

I think within 4 months we had pulled up stakes in Lebanon (without learning a lesson oobviously).
The above strikes are well-known and documented. Those with better memory then I can identify if it was Hamas that did it , or other Islamic tough-guyteam?

What is less rememberd, and hardly ever spoken of, and I can hardly remember, was that whille we were high-tailing it out of Lebanon (like we will do in Iraq soon) Hamas sent us a parting gift- blew up a military flight, several hundred soldiers dead, cause of accident "unknown" (yeah right). I only remember the name "Gandar" to associate memory to the blown up flight.

Mess with Hamas- Get A$$ kicked-scurry out of Lebanon.

Go for it, I'm out.
