Didnt Reagan "Cut and Run" in Beruit, 1983?
When the Marin Barracks was bombed by terrorists. Shouldnt we have stayed and found those responsible? Shouldnt we have bombed their bases? So the 241 Marines wouldnt "die in vain". What did Reagan do?
He Cut and Ran!

A good friend of mine was there when this occured. He left the barracks earlier that day and ended up pulling his buddie's bodies out of the rubble later on. He and many other Marines who were there hated Reagan after that for "cuting and running".

Saddam NEVER attacked the US! Iraq was NEVER a threat! Yet we bombed, invaded and occupied their country. They dont want us there.
But leaving Iraq would be cutting and running? What was leaving Berut?

4. Reagan had some mental capacity left when he made that..............
.....decision. Don't anyone get me wrong, I AM NOT defending Reagan - I didn't vote for him either time - but he could change his mind without feeling he was "giving in".

Idiot Boy and his Handlers have no such ability.
