Different threat. And in Grenada he didn't have an insurgent enemy guerrilla forcewasn't hiding behind a legitimate government facilitator. Grenada was invading Cubans fighting a conventional war....and they got creamed..
Reagan invaded Grenada days after 241 U.S. servicemen were killed in Lebanon. Was Reagan looking for the bombers in Grenada? If Grenada had nothing to do with it, then that means Reagan did absolutely nothing in response to 241 U.S. servicemen from being blown up.
Oh....really?
Grenada, like I said, was another mission.
And the bombers were terrorists. Unless they establish a Caliphate....there is no place they call home. So basically, they're like ghosts. Try putting bullets in a ghost. Good luck with that. Get back with me when you figure out how to do it.
What a lame excuse. Al-Qaeda was not establishing a caliphate in the 1990s & 2000s when they attacked us yet Bill Clinton and George Bush still went after them. They didn't just let them go free without even responding like Reagan did.
But this is exactly the reason righties look like such clueless dumbfucks in this thread. Last week, an unarmed Russian jet buzzes one our ships. Not an attack and no one hurt. Righties screech at Obama for not shooting it down. Meanwhile, righties can't bring themselves to criticize Reagan, as if doing so was sacrilegious, when he did absolutely nothing about an actual attack against us which took the lives of 241 servicemen.
You're just flailing away trying to throw shit on the wall hoping you can make something stick.
Russia buzzing our ships is Obama's problem these days, and Reagan dealt with their asses back in the 80s.......but now Obama's weakness has given Russia something to pound their chest over after the humiliation they went thru.
Liberals turned us into paper tigers, so Russia is feeling brave again. We can't win a war because Democrats won't declare one, under any circumstance. We can't fight one unless it's a drone attack. Obama has gutted out military and handed our national security over to Russia, just like he said he would do after he was re-elected. He's sold us out. And you feel you have a right to whine about Russia buzzing our ships.
