Owner59 -> Why Were Republicans Silent When Reagan’s ‘Benghazi’ Killed 241 American Servicemen? (5/12/2013 1:41:52 PM)
Not that we`re expecting any kind of adult answer..... "Benghazi wasn’t the scandal that the conservative right tried to make it out to be. Unfortunately, the Democratic president didn’t engage in a big cover-up, and the Republicans trying to score political points by shouting “Benghazi, Benghazi!” are rapidly becoming irrelevant. In the fact of that, it should be pointed out that this amount of supposed outrage is completely hypocritical. One way to illustrate this is using the Beirut Barracks Bombing of 1983, which occurred during, and was the fault of, the Reagan administration. The following image, which has been shared quite a bit recently, is referring to it: http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/05/09/why-were-republicans-silent-when-reagans-benghazi-killed-241-american-servicemen/#ixzz2T73UwYY9 [image]http://www.whale.to/c/u64q7kg3marine.jpg[/image] [image]http://www.historyguy.com/beirut_marine_barracks_bombing.jpg[/image]

The New Yorker politely declares that Obama is full of shit on Bengazi

Here's a better plan: Stop the partisan name-calling and acknowledge that both sides hide information that makes them look bad. Underneath the flag waving, all politicians are the same.

Who is hiding what? The point of the OP is blatant naked craven hypocrisy.... When it gets committed daily........it gets called out, daily. [image]http://www.xtimeline.com/__UserPic_Large/88562/evt101222111000147.bmp[/image]

FR Fairness compels me to note that George Will was pretty harsh about Reagan's leadership on the Beirut front: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1917&dat=19840927&id=5RIhAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LnQFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2363,2628995

Are you kidding me??? Really... A a United States Marine Veteran, I can tell you that you, are full it shit...the two aren't even remarkably close and Conservatives DID fault President Reagan in his lackluster response. That fact you are even posting this tells me the Benghazi story has you worried. Especially the part about where President Obama was when it was all going down. That said.... Are you telling me you have no qualms or issues about the way Benghazi was handled or was President Obama's reelection and covering Hillaryland for 2016 more important for you? Go ahead...be honest.

Mr. Regan blamed Beruit on a YouTube (or other form of mass communication) video and jailed the person with a midnight raid? And by the way, Nikoula is still in jail yet Robel Phillipos, is out on bail.

As to why it wasn't all over the internet . see if you can figure it out for yourself.

Bama, I did include, "other form of mass communication." But Owner seems to think that Mr. Regan blamed a Summer Stock production for Beirut.

Owner will blame anything that he hopes will take the heat off of Obama. The logic used here would say that I could kill my ex wife and should get off because O J did.

The 241 GIs are just as dead....and still are.Are going to tell us now.......... that it doesn`t make any difference?[8\|] The point of the OP was the republican reaction to the republican president......no need to pretend no one can read between the lines on that.... Could you tell us why this youtube point is so important.... Explain it as if the reader had no fucking idea what you`re talking about..... As if cryptic references and non-facts are not automatically understood.

Because were Regan treated it as an act of terror and a lapse of security Obama tried to pretend it was a demonstration over a youtube film that got out of hand and I might add it was dear sweet Hillary who said "what difference does it make" And Republicans were not silent over Lebanon.

Tried to pretend?Projecting...much? When he found out that wasn`t the case,he said so... Even fox news said they thought that was the case... He was going by the best intel at the time.... This sinister narrative that he purposely let Americans die or tried to cover up something is not credible..... But of course if one is in to pretending.....facts,the record and history don`t play a big role.
