To this day, those responsible for the murder of 241 Marines in their barracks in Lebanon and the Americans who were murdered in the U.S. Embassy bombing have not been brought to justice. Do you think the Israelis would let something like that go by?
Yes, the rules of engagement were responsible for the murder of American solders. Did Reagan change them? No.
O’Connor’s nuanced reply, “I personally find abortion repugnant”, reveals that she would not vote to repeal Roe v. Wade. Reagan did some good things as President, but Lebanon and Sandra Day O’Connor were not among them.
Again. After the Marine Barracks bombing Reagan took appropriate military actions over the final six month period of the mission and was responsible for killing many terrorists and their leaders. You wanted Reagan to expand the conflict. Sorry, bucko. Reagan made initial mistakes, but he wasn't about to expand the Lebanon conflict to please crazies like you.

Another cheap shot. Do some research and get your facts straight.
Immediately following the Marine barracks truck bombing, the Reagan administration hatched a plan to knock off a military barracks of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. DefSec Weinberger opposed such action. Weinberger told Reagan, any attack without positive proof of who committed the truck bombing, would lead to an expanded civil war dragging in other Arab nations, maybe pulling the Soviets into the conflict, and undermining Reagan’s efforts to win the Cold War.
DefSec Weinberger told PBS Frontline in a September 2001 interview: “we still do not have the actual knowledge of who did the bombing of the Marine barracks at the Beirut Airport, and we certainly didn’t then”.
In May 2003, District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth concluded, the Islamic Republic of Iran was the responsible party in the 1983 Marine Barracks attack. He based this on the grounds that Iran founded Hezbollah and financed the group for years. That came 20 years after the Beirut bombings and right after Bush invaded Iraq. Get real!

So now your calling Reagan a murderer. How stupid can you be. After the Marines Barracks bombing, everything changed, moron.

That is your opinion and has nothing to do with the historic record. No President is responsible for a Supreme Court Justice changing their mind on issues. I trust Reagan made a decision he thought was right at the time. While Eisenhower regretted picking Earl Warren and Nixon wasn't satisfied with Warren Burger. Reagan didn't dwell on past decisions, but worked on not making the same mistake again. J O'Connor starting causing an uproar after Reagan was out of office. Same goes for that other turncoat dipwad, Anthony Kennedy.
