The Hezbollah operatives who carried out the attack on the embassy reportedly were receiving financial and logistical support from both Iran and Syria.
In mid-September 1982 -- after the U.S. troops had left -- Israel's Lebanese allies massacred an estimated 800 unarmed Palestinian civilians remaining in refugee camps.
The president assembled his national security team to devise a plan of military action. The planned target was the Sheik Abdullah barracks in Baalbek, Lebanon, which housed Iranian Revolutionary Guards believed to be training Hezbollah fighters.
The suspects were thought to be members of Al Dawa, or "The Call," an Iranian-backed group and one of the principal Shiite groups operating against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Do you think we have an obligation to absorb them? There are poor people all over the world, and a number of them cannot seem to assimilate and who instead seem to view the countries that gave them, or their parents, refuge from their shit holes of origin, as targets of the same inanity and violence which forced them to emigrate,There are about 4 million refugees. It will take more than Turkey, Greece, etc. to absorb them all.Why would they be fleeing terrorism when they were already in Turkey, Greece, Macedonia,Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Austria?The refugees are fleeing terrorism. Cowards are trying to deny them safe haven.
France is showing more courage than these invertebrates.
Reagan showed more courage than these fainthearted alarmists.
These UnRepublicans would prefer to either exterminate the refugees or send them back to ISIS to do their work for them.
That is not America, ladies and gentlemen. That is not American exceptionalism.
And it damn sure isn't Christian.
Where would they feel safest, in the Shetland Islands perhaps? Greenland?
You know how many we approved in 2013?
36.
Don';t be an asshole. The Iranians Reagan allowed in were loyal to the Shah or moderates. They were certainly not the riff raff Obama wants to welcome.Dec. 12, 1983
Bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait
The suspects were thought to be members of Al Dawa, or "The Call," an Iranian-backed group and one of the principal Shiite groups operating against Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Five people killed.
And still, Reagan let in the Iranian refugees.
Pogo's response couldn't have been any more clear, accurate and to the point. Just goes to show, you can't dumb things down enough to fit inside the cranium of a right winger.To a nazi, everyone else is left wing.
I'm a Reagan Republican and people like you prove every day the modern day Republican has nothing in common with Reagan. You're stupid, credulous, and cowardly.
You must be a child if you don't know about Iranian state sponsored terrorism.
Nazis are socialists, they are pretty far left. Pretty much there with you.
You're a Reagan conservative, that's comic. Like how you think Republicans moved to the right, they are left of Reagan, Holmes
And again, I say I'm not a Republican, and you insult me by calling me a Republican, while you claim to be a Republican. Where is your clown avatar? The dress fits
Nazis are about as "far left" as the Klan. Fatter o' mact they have a lot in common -- hypernationalism.... hyperreligionism.... racial purity fantasies... hypermoralistic persecution of drunks and loose women... da evil Jooos..... da evil communists..... da eebil homosexuals .. da eebil intellectuals....
Yep, that's what I call "far left" awright.
Revisionism never sleeps around here. It's like rust.
The Nazis were more aware than you, Holmes, that's why they accurately called themselves a socialist party. They believed in government control over the economy. That's as leftist as you
The "socialist" tag --- a new and trendy buzzword at the time --- was already there when Hitler joined the party around 1920. He objected to it but went along.
Do you believe Grape Nuts is made with any grapes or nuts at all?
Or that the Pennsylvania Dutch have something to do with Holland?
Pop quiz -- how many band members comprise Ten Thousand Maniacs?
DUH.
In any case all that shit I just mentioned --- class hierarchies, übernationalism, übermilitarism, appeal to past glories, denigration of minorities/immigrants/women/homosexuals/communists/intellectuals -- those don't live on the left, as even retards know.
And my name is not "Holmes". Quit looking at my dick.
Um...you seem to have the obsession with staring at your dick, Holmes.
As for Hitler, he called him self a socialist, he believed in government control over the economy. That confuses you how, exactly?
And still...Reagan let in the Iranian refugees.
The Iranians Reagan let into the country were educated Persians who had lived in a secular, westernized Iran. They were fleeing a theorcracy. The ones Obama wants to let in include agents of an invading army of theocratic radicals.
I doubt you loons can understand the difference.
No one cares that your a pretend conservative who doesn't recognize other REAL conservatives.Remember how much we feared and hated Iranians? Iran had a revolution and took American hostages for over a year.
Iran had terrorist training camps and were sending out terrorists all over the place. Iran was behind the blowing up of the Marine barracks. Iran funded Hezbollah and Hamas which carried out terrorist attacks all over the Middle East, and particularly in Israel, a great ally of the US.
Iranians were hijacking airplanes and blowing shit up all over the place.
And then there were the Iranian refugees trying to get away from these maniacs.
Do you know what Reagan did about the refugees?
Did he shit his pants in fear? Nope.
Did he stir up the Right with anti-Muslim rhetoric and say we should not allow these refugees in? Nope.
Did he do some kind of fucked up calculus and say it wasn't worth the risk? Nope.
He let the Iranian refugees in. Because Republicans had real balls of titanium and real compassion back then.
http://www.paaia.org/CMS/Data/Sites/1/pdfs/iranian-americans---immigration-and-assimilation.pdf
Between October 1981 and February 1985, more Iranians were granted asylum — 11,055 in total — than any other nationality.
Do you see that? At the peak of our anti-Iranian sentiment, we let in more Iranian refugees than any other kind of refugees.
Now THAT is what "home of the brave" looks like, boys and girls. That is what "American exceptionalism" looks like.
Reagan's own words:
We shall continue America's tradition as a land that welcomes peoples from other countries. We shall also, with other countries, continue to share in the responsibility of welcoming and resettling those who flee oppression.
Illegal immigrants in considerable numbers have become productive members of our society and are a basic part of our work force. Those who have established equities in the United States should be recognized and accorded legal status.
I don't know who these people are today who are calling themselves Republicans. I really don't.
The Iranians Reagan let into the country were educated Persians who had lived in a secular, westernized Iran. They were fleeing a theorcracy. The ones Obama wants to let in include agents of an invading army of theocratic radicals.
I doubt you loons can understand the difference.
Syria was also a secularized society. They are fleeing a theocracy - ISIS.
They are also fleeing a statist government, a leader whose father was allied with the USSR, and whose son is allied with Russia, lead by a former KGB agent of the USSR. That son is responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of people, and guilty of war crimes.
There was a time when conservatives welcomed the oppressed from tyranny.
Reagan would be ashamed.
And the Iranians in the USA before the downfall of the Shah were running from the cruelty of his regime....The OP tends to forget THOSE from Iran at that time were running FROM islamic tyranny. Those from Syria ARE islamic tyranny.So now Reagan is a hero?Make up your minds and stop using people to suit an agenda. If Reagan were POTUS he'd be taking it to ISIS....your boy is pissing down his hind leg over it
Just a wee different you know?
I doubt that Reagan would approve of importing jihadis with true refugees.
And the Iranians in the USA before the downfall of the Shah were running from the cruelty of his regime....The OP tends to forget THOSE from Iran at that time were running FROM islamic tyranny. Those from Syria ARE islamic tyranny.So now Reagan is a hero?

Ah yes, the down turn to being so intellectually superior......Eventually the idiot takes over the savant...And the Iranians in the USA before the downfall of the Shah were running from the cruelty of his regime....The OP tends to forget THOSE from Iran at that time were running FROM islamic tyranny. Those from Syria ARE islamic tyranny.So now Reagan is a hero?

DarkFury214 is a complete fucking retard.
He's making broad generalizations because he thinks all Muslims are terrorists.
What a sad reflection of ignorance in this country.
It's beyond idiotic.
