In 1983, when Reagan was president, terrorists killed 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and three Army soldiers. The deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima of World War II and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II.
Ronbo Reagan CUT and RAN.
1983 Beirut barracks bombing (October 23, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon)
Suicide bombers detonated each of the truck bombs. In the attack on the American Marines barracks, the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and three Army soldiers, along with sixty Americans injured, representing the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima of World War II, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War, and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II.
Response
U.S. President Ronald Reagan called the attack a "despicable act" and pledged to keep a military force in Lebanon.
There was no serious retaliation for the Beirut bombing from the Americans, besides a few shellings. In December 1983, U.S. aircraft from the USS John F. Kennedy and USS Independence battle groups attacked Syrian targets in Lebanon, but this was ostensibly in response to Syrian missile attacks on American warplanes.
Multi-service ground-support units were withdrawn from Beirut after the attack on the Marine barracks due to retaliatory threats.
In the meantime, the attack boosted the prestige and growth of the Shi'ite organization Hezbollah.

Right couldn't agree more!
But the Major major difference is Reagan NEVER let his ego or arrogance come before his consideration of the United States!
Reagan NEVER encouraged businesses to go bankrupt!
Reagan NEVER discouraged Americans.. HE ENCOURAGED Americans..
AND ONE thing for SuRE...
REAGAN would NEVER sacrifice American soldiers by using words like this:
Obama said U.S. military "air-raiding villages killing civilians"!
That was said BEFORE Obama became President and to me that was the such a traitorous statement that I couldn't understand why he wasn't hauled up for TREASON!

The Nazi's and Soviets both invaded Poland around the same time
as part of their treaty
The Soviets were are WW II allies, were they not...
War makes for strange bedfellows, does it not
Of course the only difference after the war
The Left kept supporting the Soviets

In fact before the war
Too bad FDR said these things:
There seems to be no question that [Mussolini] is really interested in what we are doing and I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy.
Comment in early 1933 about Benito Mussolini to US Ambassador to Italy Breckinridge Long, as quoted in Three New Deals : Reflections on Roosevelt's America, Mussolini's Italy, and Hitler's Germany, 1933-1939 (2006) by Wolfgang Schivelbusch, p. 31
I don't mind telling you in confidence that I am keeping in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman.

Reagan was an idiot...a baffoon. We are lucky he didn't get our country into more trouble than he did.
I like the quote in the pic. It show clearly how stupid that man was.

Damn. Quadaffi helped terrorists plant a bomb on an airplane killing several hundred Americans. And President Obama helped the Libyans finish the job that Reagan started.
In this case, the deed was not done by the government of Libya, but by terrorists within Libya. And the government of Libya not only apoligized, but is actively helping to catch the terrorists.
What you are suggesting would be the same as if we had nuked Dallas, Texas, because President Kennedy was assasinated there.
I find it hard to believe how idiotically bloodthirsty you 'Conservatives' are. You don't care who you kill, just kill somebody.

Difference between Reagan and Obama dealing with Libya

what a surprise
Carter had Iran and helped to make it what is today
Papa Obama will be able to look back at Libya and Egypt and
say he did the same
He must be proud
Must be more of that "smart power"
as embassies burn and ambassadors are killed

so, did you just forget about the part where the Libyans bombed an airliner in retalation for the bombing that killed Qadafy's daughter?
What really got Qadafy to behave in the 1990's was that there was a raft of European investment in his country. Qadafy realized with his sugar daddies in the USSR gone, he had to be buddy buddy with the EU.

Top Six Newspaper Headlines if Barack Obama Were Republican
1. New York Times: “President Attends Vegas Fundraiser as Middle East Protests Rage.” Top Aides to President Barack Obama struggled to keep track of events in the Middle East and to contain the political fallout from Mr. Obama’s decision to proceed with Las Vegas Fundraiser even while American embassies were under attack across the Middle East . . .”
2. New York Times: “News Analysis: Is There Now a ‘Promise Gap’ in Foreign Policy?” As Democratic challenger Mitt Romney runs ads in battleground states comparing Mr. Obama’s campaign promises to his economic performance, new ads are set to air contrasting the mass rallies in support of Mr. Obama in his 2008 campaign with the mass riots roiling the Middle East . . .”
3. Washington Post: ”In Midst of Crisis, President Sends Mixed Messages to Egypt.” Less than a day after accusing his Democratic rival, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, of “shooting first and aiming later,” the administration was forced to backtrack from the President’s declaration that Egypt was not an ally . . .
4. Washington Post: ”News Analysis: Ghost of the Carter Campaign Haunts President.” In 1980 humiliating images of blindfolded American hostages filled TV screens across America, dooming President Carter’s already-struggling presidential campaign. In 2012, black flags fly over U.S. embassies as the administration appears unable to defend American diplomatic outposts abroad . . .

Besides Qadafy couldn't have been that bad
After all Papa Obama supporters were supporting him
even before diplomatic relations were returned
Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan decided to take a trip to Libya and see Gaddafi in Tripoli in 1984....

And killed Gaddafi's kid. His 18-month-old adopted daughter Hana.
And, there were repercussions; three hostages were executed by Arab Revolutionary Cell gunmen in Lebanon, two of them British teachers and the third an American, Peter Kilburn, while William Cokals, a U.S. embassy official, was shot down in the streets of Khartoum, Sudan. For a time there was widespread concern that terrorist revenge attacks would occur on American soil, and experts warned that the U.S. was woefully unprepared to deal with such a contingency.
The Soviet Union responded to the raid by canceling scheduled talks between Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and Secretary of State George Shultz that were intended to formalize plans for a summit meeting between Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who promised Gaddafi that the USSR would help Libya strengthen its military defenses.
