re: #158 lawhawk

Considering how the wingnuts are continuously going on and on about Benghazi, their reverence for Reagan is odd considering that Reagan never went after those responsible for the Marine barracks bombing. Less than six months after the bombing, the Marines and US presence was withdrawn from Lebanon, and other than some shelling of targets by the USS New Jersey (IIRC) the Reagan Administration did nothing to go after those responsible - Iran or their proxies that morphed into Hizbullah.

You are correct about the BB involved; it was indeed the USS New Jersey.
