The response to the Libya for the Disco bombing was weak, ineffective and eventually led to the blowing up of PAN AM 103 over Lockerbie.Nonsense. You admit Americans became targets but put the Carter spin on it. Reagan was the President and he was the one who failed to respond when the attacks began. He let us get chased out of Lebanon by terrorist after they bombed the barracks. You know, the famous incident where Marines were ordered to carry unloaded weapons and 250 of them got blown up in there barracks in Beirut. It happened shortly after the Embassy was bombed in Beirut. Do you remember Higgins or Buckley? All terrorist attacks and incidents that went unanswered or weakly answered by Reagan.He failed to respond with overwhelming force and punishment to terrorist attacks on US targets. That plus his breaking the policy of refusing to negotiate with terrorist gave birth to an era of terrorist attacks on America and terrorism as an acceptable tactic by disgruntled rogue nations and non aligned groups, including religious factions. His backing, support and even founding of terrorist groups considered "on our side" backfired when they turned criminal, Contra's and death squads, or outright terror groups formed from Mujhideen. Reagan gave birth to modern day terrorism.Yup.......Reagan fucked the US up.and look how reagan fucked the us up......i know yall hate to admit that....but it is really time to get over reagan as the great white savior
How.....specifically?
Actually, Carter began the paper tiger image we're now stained with. Iran held our diplomats for over a year and we didn't even kick their asses once.
Used to be an act of war to capture our diplomats but with Democrats in charge, capturing and imprising our diplomats leads to nothing worse than harse language. It's no surprise that Middle-Eastern terrorists started really targeting the United States after 1979.
I remember the ones he responded to.

Listen Dumbass......and learn.
Not every act of terrorism points directly to state sponsors like happened with the Iranian hostages. We have our suspicions but often times no proof.
My post is not an original creative idea or opinion. It comes from one of the Pentagon's top terrorist experts. Maybe you think he is a dumbass and your partisan viewpoints are better sourced and thought out than his. I'll go with him being the informed one and you being the dumbass, thanks.
