Presidential weakness

Imagine the conservative outrage at a president who allowed:


* A U.S. embassy is bombed in the Middle East. Seventeen Americans are among the 63 killed. The president condemns the attack but does not retaliate.

* A U.S. Marine barracks in the Middle East is bombed. Two hundred and forty one Marines die and 100+ more are wounded — the worst day since Iwo Jima. The president calls it the saddest day of his presidency, maybe his life — but calls off a retaliatory attack for fear of harming relations with the Arab world. The president later orders a full retreat from that country.

* A second U.S. embassy is bombed in another Middle Eastern country. The president takes no retaliatory action.

* A top American official — the CIA station chief in a Middle Eastern country — is kidnapped. The U.S. decides that to free the hostages, it could sell weapons to a nation linked to the hostage takers — even though the nation is considered a terrorist state. The CIA chief eventually dies, and the weapons scheme blows up in the administration's face.

* Another U.S. embassy facility in the Middle East is attacked. Two U.S. servicemen are among the 24 people killed. Once again, the president orders no military response.

* A Middle Eastern hijacking leaves two U.S. government personnel dead. There is no American military response.

* Another Middle Eastern hijacking leaves a U.S. Navy serviceman dead. Terrorists dump his body on an airport tarmac. There is no American military response.

* An entire cruise ship is hijacked in the Mediterranean. A 69-year old American tourist is killed and shoved into the sea. The hijackers later flee on a jet, but instead of killing them, the U.S. forces the plane down so the terrorists can be dealt with in court.

* Airports in Rome and Vienna are attacked. Twenty people are killed, including five Americans. The U.S. knows who did it, but instead of retaliating, sends planes to that country's coast to patrol



Obama is not weak on terrorism - The Week

So start an investigation,hold hearings,get a conviction,they can share a cell with the current fuck ups.

Stop blubbing like a little girl and do something.

Yup. But don't blame Ronnie, it was the chimp.

The people of the eastern bloc were the one who overthrew their government. They get full credit.

And Reagan just happened to be there, right? Like Chauncy Gardner, they just waited until Reagan was President, that was his only contribution, not the military build up, not challenging Soviet hegemony, just Being There

Bush was actually President when it happened, but whatever.

I'm confident that what happened would have happened with or without Reagan's Presidency.

Small comforts you Progressives are forced to find because Reagan collapsed your beloved USSR.

beloved USSR:cuckoo:

Liberals are as glad to see it go as the right was. We're just better attuned into the facts of why the communist governments fell. It's much more complcated than simplistic "Reagan was awesome, f___ yeah!" b______ that the right has been telling one another for twenty years.

And besides, the real foreign models that liberals admire, like the Nordic countries and Canada, for their health care systems and wide ranging social programs, are doing great. Their people have yet to vote out universal health care and adopt our health care instead, despite the "individual freedom" we all have under it to suffer in pain, then be put into bankruptcy by the costs.

Any one of these happen under Obamas watch and Republicans would be screaming impeachment. They already are

Yet Reagan is a god
 
When do you Progs think Obama will step down and put Crazy Uncle Joe Biden in charge?
