Huh? Reagan didn’t get mired in the Middle East, the Granada attack was already launched when the Marine garrison was bombed, and he stayed focused on the Soviet empire, and brought it down, much to everyone’s shock and dismay.
Actually the Grenada attack was launched two days later.
Reagan didnt get mired in the Middle East
We were mired enough to have had troops in Beirut for over a year and to have over 300 killed and wounded.
It is interesting that the Wikipedia article on the bombing points out that Weinberger had advised against stationing Marines in Lebanon.
