The 1983 Beirut barracks bombings were terrorist attacks that occurred on October 23, 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon, during the Lebanese Civil War when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF)—killing 241 U.S. and 58 French servicemen, six civilians, and the two suicide bombers.

Yes the far left drones keep bringing up this debunked event so they can feel good about voting for worse than Bush Twice.

From the drones own link:

Rescue and recovery operations: October 23 to 28, 198

Organized rescue efforts began immediately – within three minutes of the bombing – and continued for days

Unlike Obama and Clinton..

They were a UN peace keeping force and who was Reagan supposed to attack?

See how after shown that this is religious narrative has been debunked, they carry on their religious dogma at all costs!

So it's Reagan's fault?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Damn, and I just got used to blaming Bush. Now I have to go all the way back to Reagan?

That's a goddam bare faced lie!! The artillery batteries had the coordinates of exactly where the Hezbullah(sic) had positions and Reagan opted to pull every last one of our troops out of Lebanon.

And why do you think that?

Because our going into Iraq and Afghanistan have stopped terrorism so well?

 

[Syriusly]

Not this shit again....good gawd

And by 'shit' you mean remembering the terrible terrorist attack that happened under Reagan- in which the United States came together and didn't just try to blame the President?

It was an ill conceived mission, and the troops were poorly protected.

Withdrawing after the bombing was not as good as withdrawing before the bombing but sure did save American lives.

So it's Reagan's fault?

Yes- in the sense that he was the commander and chief- like President Obama was at 'fault' for the Benghazi deaths.

But in those days, Congress didn't immediately try to blame Reagan- frankly they didn't blame Reagan at all.

And they were right not to blame Reagan- because even though sending the Marines in there was an ill conceived mission- and the Marines were not adequately protected- and there was plenty of warning of possible attacks- this was all in hindsight.

Why was that?

Was it because the president was a leader?

Say what you like, but Reagan was a leader..

It's a shame that FEW KNOW the history behind the story... Libtards certainly don't want to hear it!

In 2002, the Presidential Oral History Program at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs interviewed Caspar Weinberger about the six years (1981-1987) he spent as Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of Defense. Stephen Knott, the interviewer, asked him about the bombing of the U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut on Oct. 23, 1983, which killed 241 Marines. Here’s his answer:

Weinberger: Well, that’s one of my saddest memories. I was not persuasive enough to persuade the President that the Marines were there on an impossible mission. They were very lightly armed. They were not permitted to take the high ground in front of them or the flanks on either side. They had no mission except to sit at the airport, which is just like sitting in a bull’s eye. Theoretically, their presence was supposed to support the idea of disengagement and ultimate peace. I said, “They’re in a position of extraordinary danger. They have no mission. They have no capability of carrying out a mission, and they’re terribly vulnerable.” It didn’t take any gift of prophecy or anything to see how vulnerable they were.

When that horrible tragedy came, why, as I say, I took it very personally and still feel responsible in not having been persuasive enough to overcome the arguments that “Marines don’t cut and run,” and “We can’t leave because we’re there,” and all of that. I begged the President at least to pull them back and put them back on their transports as a more defensible position. That ultimately, of course, was done after the tragedy.

Knott also asked Weinberger about “the impact that the tragedy had on President Reagan.”

Weinberger: Well, it was very, very marked, there was no question about it. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time. We were planning that very weekend for the actions in Grenada to overcome the anarchy that was down there and the potential seizure of American students, and all the memories of the Iranian hostages. We had planned that for Monday morning, and this terrible event occurred on Saturday night. Yes, it had a very deep effect. We talked a few minutes ago about the strategic defense. One of the other things that had a tremendous effect on him was the necessity of playing these war games and rehearsing, in which we went over the role of the President. The standard scenario was that “the Soviets had launched a missile. You have eighteen minutes, Mr. President. What are we going to do?”

He said, “Almost any target we attack will have huge collateral damage.” Collateral damage is the polite way of phrasing the number of innocent women and children who are killed because you’re engaging in a war, and it was up in the hundreds of thousands. That is one of the things, I think, that convinced him that we not only had to have a strategic defense, but we should offer to share it. That was another of the things that was quite unusual about our acquiring strategic defense, and which now seems largely forgotten. When we got it, we said he would share it with the world, so as to render all of these weapons useless. He insisted on that kind of proposal. And as it turned out, with this cold war ending and all, it didn’t become necessary.

One thing that disappointed him most was the reaction of the academic and the so-called defense expert community to this proposal. They were horrified. They threw up their hands. It was worse than talking about evil empire. Here you were undermining the years and years of academic discipline that you shouldn’t have any defense. He said he simply did not want to trust the future of the world to philosophic assumptions. And all the evidence was that the Soviets were preparing for a nuclear war. They had these huge underground cities and underground communications. They were setting up environments in which they could live for a long time and keep their command and control communications capabilities. But people didn’t want to believe that and therefore didn’t believe it.

Yea, RR was a real sissy boi in dealing with that shit. He should've be more like BO who stands up and calls out Islamic Terrorist, and then slaps them around like the bitches they are. Stupid Reagan was so concerned with destroying the now defunct Soviet Union that he let the Muslim's invade France. Just wait until Hillary gets in, she will show those Islamic terrorist how a real and honest straight shooter leader deals with their bullshit.

See make these far left drones face reality and they will deny it every time!

But then again what do you expect from one that holds FDR as a God for putting American citizens into camps and tests their loyalty.

The record is clear. Modern day terrorism was born and created in the '80's under Reagan. Terrorism was allowed to be an accepted tactic. American's were targeted and the terrorists were met with little if any retribution or response. At the same time, negotiations took place and modern weaponry was traded to fund US sponsored terror groups in Central America. It was called Iran/Contra. If that were not enough, terrorist, who we called "Freedom Fighters" were funded in Afghanistan to fight the Russians.
Reagan began with an attack on our Embassy in Beirut, followed by the attack of the Marine Barracks. His time in office ended with the bombing of an American commercial airliner over Lockerbie about a month before his term ended. The entire decade is full of terrorist attacks against America.
