I'm not turning a blind eye to anything and I'm not part of any problem. You want to revise history to match your perception of reality. I prefer sticking with the factual truth of history.
>>>>You exhibit the same level of understanding the islamofascists as the left. Which is to say, none. I only hope that you never have any influence on US foreign policy.
What does my correcting the record, on the actual events of the 1983 Beirut bombing, have to do with you comparing me to the left. Just shows how badly you've lost the argument. I've supported every decision that PresBush and the military have made in Afghanistan and Iraq. You want me to capitulate to your demands, that I accept your perception of events and ignore the real historic record. Ain't gonna happen!
Your support of no retaliation for the killing of 241 Marines belies your claim. And you do that retrospectively with many more bombings, many more dead Americans and terrorism strengthened through the years by American weakness. I don't give a crap whether you capitulate or not, I just don't want you anywhere near American foreign policy. So just tell me that you have no influence in that sphere and I'll sleep better tonight.
This isn't something new I'm arguing, I've been arguing it for 26 years and your history lessons are less than worthless to somebody who was an adult during those 26 years.
Carter paid bounty to the Shia terrorists and President Reagan let them get away with killing 241 Marines. And like I said, the rest is history.
