So according to the US code, the bombings in beirut are not classified as terrorism. Therefore Reagan was neither soft nor hard on terrorism based on that criteria.
Thanks for agreeing with me chump.
There are myriad definitions of terrorism, legal and otherwise. The US Code has one. I have never restricted myself to one definition of terrorism
Hasan's attack could be considered a terrorist attack by any number of definitions, but not every one.

According to the US code, the bombings in Beirut are not classified as terrorism committed in the United States because Beirut is not in the United States.
So.. based on your assesment of the Lebanon attacks.
Terrorism can be defined as..
A military strike.
and holding hostages.. because you argued iran as another example of Reagans soft tone on terrorism.
Thanks Chump. You have a more liberal definition of terrorism than spursncowboys.. didn't think that was possible.
Original question.
Do you think Reagan's response to the Marine barracks attack in Beirut, made him soft on terrorism?
Bat crazy retraction ensued...

As I said, there are myriad definitions, legal and otherwise. Your huge mistake was thinking I only subscribed to one.
What makes you think the US Code on domestic terrorism applies to the country of Lebanon?
So.. since you ascribe to many definitions of terrorism.. Reagan was soft and not soft.. yet soft.. but not soft... on terrorism.
Thanks, but I like simple awnsers to simple questions.![]()
i think reagan answered that question.
Where did i say " THe US code applies to Lebanon."
Moreso.. Lebanon didn't attack the marines. Get History. Quick! Andale andale!
Man, Pixel Pusher has a point to pick with you..![]()
Is Lebanon in the US?
A simple yes or no will do.![]()
so, you'd rather assign a different answer than the one reagan gave you.
Did Lebanon bomb the marines?
A simple yes or no will do.![]()
reagan gave you plenty of answers. what was his answer to the hostage taking?
No.
Is Lebanon in the US?
A simple yes or no will do.
So you agree with Reagan that military strikes are terrorist acts. Why chose to agree with him now?
Giving a terrorist country a couple thousand missiles.
gtown, do you believe there is only one definition of terrorism?
A simple yes or no will suffice.![]()
Sure.. there's one in Ohio.

Are you saying that is where the Beirut Marine barracks bombing occurred?
A simple yes or no will suffice.![]()
how did reagan respond to terror attacks?
That is neither a yes or a no.
Do you believe there is only one definition of terrorism?
Yes or no?
Oh, that Lebanon. You got to get more specific, you know.. like how you're using US codes to argue for and against a foreign military strike being terrorist.![]()
