Well, at least you're consistent with others on this board...I'm constantly being compared to liberals because I believe Bush to be less than my ideal president (Reagan)

Reagan?

The same Reagan who after the Marines were murdered, fled with his tail between his legs.

Please do not confuse rhetoric with actions.

Funny how this lie gets on so-called "conservative" websites as it once was exclusive to the leftists in probing for chinks in a great man's marble image.
Again, if you'll do the research, you will find that the Marines in Lebanon at the time were scheduled to leave anyway. It made no sense to keep the batallion there when it was no longer effective and no one could discern "good guy" Christians from terrorists. Besides, at the time of Reagan, we had a 660-ship Navy and there was a full amphibious task force off the coast along with battleships USS Iowa and USS New Jersey (one of which heaved a salvo of 16-inch projectiles, each weighing what a Toyota truck does, at Hesbollah to blow your "tail between legs" theory out of the water). Nope, Reagan never backed down from a scrap, smoked dope, got arrested for DUI, or shirked his duty with his Air National Guard unit by going out of state to campaign and party with an Alabama politician during the country's need.
