Clinton's feeble responses and do-nothing attitude to:DonQuixote said:It was Reagan that walked away from a single terrorist attack on the
Marine barracks in Beruit in 1981. Not a single shot was fired.

Reagan's failure to respond in kind against Hizbolla was a total
failure in policy. 241 Marines died when Reagan was POTUS.
Even Clinton didn't have that failure. Don't think the Ds are the
only ones with failed policies in the Middle East. Reagan sent
Rumsfeld to placate Saddam in the '80s. He also traded with
Iran. Don't get too righteous. You have no room to brag.
