Reagan's Benghazi

Reagan did not spend the weeks following the Beirut bombing lying about what caused it.

Fail.

What did Obama lie about again? I keep asking and no one has answered yet

Pull your head out of your ass and you might be able to hear the answers...

Sorry to bust your fantasy, buy Ronny lied about the Beirut slaughter in an effort to cover up his complete and total negligence, failure and blame for all those dead and maimed Marines. Many at the time considered his lie to be an admission of guilt when the lie was exposed.

Um no, that didnt happen. Maybe you have him confused with Obama?
 
If only we could return to sanity and cut the political witch hunts.

There were more than enough opportunities to lay blame for the horrific losses at high U.S. officials' feet. But unlike today's Congress, congressmen did not talk of impeaching Ronald Reagan, who was then President, nor were any subpoenas sent to cabinet members. This was true even though then, as now, the opposition party controlled the majority in the House. Tip O'Neill, the Democratic Speaker of the House, was no pushover. He, like today's opposition leaders in the House, demanded an investigation -- but a real one, and only one. Instead of playing it for political points, a House committee undertook a serious investigation into what went wrong at the barracks in Beirut. Two months later, it issued a report finding "very serious errors in judgment" by officers on the ground, as well as responsibility up through the military chain of command, and called for better security measures against terrorism in U.S. government installations throughout the world.

In other words, Congress actually undertook a useful investigation and made helpful recommendations. The report's findings, by the way, were bipartisan. (The Pentagon, too, launched an investigation, issuing a report that was widely accepted by both parties.)

Uh i was around then.
First there were congressional investigations into it

second the media was investigating it, not firing reporters who did investigate it.

third republicans were pissed about it, including me and wanted it investigated

And none ever had the rediculous excuse if a video causing the bombing, which with something so lame, i want that in and of itself investigated....who seriously believes that shot?

First it was Bush. Now it's Reagan.


Deflect much Nancy Boy?


He hasn't even gotten a full head of stream yet...he's got an "Andrew Jackson's Benghazi" thread warming up in the bullpen.

Anything to divert attention from the REAL Benghazi.

LIVE SPEECH via TV Four Days After Marine Barracks Bombing Beirut Lebanon


"There first warning came when the truck crashed through a series of barriers, including a chain link fence and barbed wire entanglements. The guards opened fire, but it was to late."

How many lies can you find in just those two sentences?
 
Can't believe this thread has gone on this long without somebody telling you how full of shit you are. Reagan lied his ass off and got caught big time.

Uh no he didnt.
But nice try.

Yes he did.
Uhmm...NO he didn't I served under the man. It is YOU that is making up shit out of whole cloth. Take it to the DU or other leftist crap site...and get lost.:eusa_hand::eusa_hand:

Blow your lies out of your ass.:eusa_hand:

Sure he lied. The lies are in the post right above your post.

Bub? YOU had better post some imperical proof or STFU. I served Reagan...and what YOU state never happened. Put up or shut up.
 
Show us the report or whatever that backs up his claim that the truck had to go through a series of barricades. Otherwise just look up any source, military, congressional, news media. They all expose that lie. But the big lie was the one about the Marines firing on the terrorist. Under Reagan's command the Marine sentries and force protection were ordered to carry unloaded weapons. Ronald Reagan sent Marines into an active combat zone with specific orders to not carry loaded weapons. He specifically lied about Marines firing on the truck bomber. The Marines never got off a shot. He attempted to cover up his negligence by claiming otherwise.

Bullshit. Shame on you for slandering the dead.
