Didn’t Hizb Allah take responsibility for the Marine barrack building truck bombing in Lebanon back in the 80’s? This guy needs a blanket party given in his honor by about 3 or 4 marines.

Yes, Hezbollah (Hizb Allah) did take responsibility for it. We were about to launch a serious attack on their main base in Lebanon, where it was planned and the truck bomb was prepared, but Reagan pulled the plug on the attack literally at the last minute. A short time later French jets came in and bombed the place.

It’s one of the few times I ever disagreed with anything Reagan did.
