Apparently the lives of Marines don?t matter when a Republican is
president?because, if you look in a mirror and say Benghazi three times,
the 241 Marines who died in Beirut ask why there was no Republican
outrage in 1983.


Ask the Lebanese who described "flying Volkswagens" as the USS New
Jersey blasted areas with her 16-inch guns. Largest naval bombardment
since Korea.



One of my best friends died in Beruit... to have a pig mother ****er
coward like krause disrespect for his internet play is just enough to
make me puke...



The question was, why wasn't there Republican outrage in 1983 (meaning
elected Republicans going nutso, holding endless hearings, holding up
presidential appointments, et cetera). The answer is, there wasn't,
because, well, you know...a white guy was president back then.


Because the administration didn't sweep it under a rug, require that the people involved sing
NDAs and hide all of the participants to prevent them from testifying in Congress.
