"Twenty-seven years ago was 1979, the year that Islamist radicals loyal to the Ayatollah Khomeini invaded the US embassy in Tehran and held dozens of American diplomats hostage for the next 444 days. Washington's response was weak and feckless, as it would be time and again in the years that followed. Only after 9/11 did the United States finally acknowledge that it was in a war with militant Islam and began fighting back in earnest. But not against Iran, which continues, unscathed and unrepentant, to stoke the terrorist fires."
And who exactly was President at the time this occurred? (Hint: He recently endorsed the election of a communist dictator in Venezuela, and is publicly going about attempting to undermine the United States )
And who exactly was President at the time this occurred? No US president would send US army to put down the popular uprising in a country of 636,000 sq miles, populous, covered with high mountains and located thousands of miles away.
Remember that Ronald Reagan himself ordered US troops to be pulled out from tiny Lebanon.
