Reagan/Bush I Tough on Terror before 9/11? I THINK NOT
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 02:10 AM by DiamondJay
I'm here to address the hypocricy of how Republicans insult Clinton for attacks which happened off our soil like the embassy bombings and the cole, especially when there events posted in this link http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/target/etc/cron.html happened under Reagan's watch, and why don't the democrats counter with these when republicans thro such BS accusations against Clinton. Our embassies in Kuwait AND Lebanon were bombed under Reagan/Bush, yet no one calls him out? Why? How about the 300 marines killed in the Lebanon barracks? Democrats gotta attack republicans on this stuff, because even if you don't like Clinton, or we don't nominate her, they will still say that the cole and the embassies happened under a Democrat. But no one has yet talked about stuff that happened under a republican other than Dubya Bush.

1. Saint Ronnie 'cut and ran' from Lebanon.
Except that was called 'decisive new steps'.

Here's a good resource for debunking this sort of myth about Clinton:
