is it terror if we attack a foreign military?
So what makes the lebonese attack so special?

LOL.. Fail. WHy don't you know the definition of a strawman. Me asking a question about your definition.. is not a strawman.
You see CHump.. Clambake wants to know! help us!
You already did.
You started plenty today.
It meets several definitions of a terrorist attack. Reagan called the attackers terrorists, so why wouldn't you?
i was asking you, G.
Pretending it was the only definition I would ever use is indeed a straw man argument.
That's because it was in retalliation of your own post, which was riddled with them. WHy don't you post your original post in this thread.
After all, i was just illustrating absurdity by being absurd.
I didn't pretend.. I asked you for your definition. You said you have many. So in essence according to you.. Reagan was both soft, and not soft on terrrorism. Since you have many definitions on terrorism.
I didn't say that the beirut military bombings/strikes were terrorism. That's Chump, C.
how about this question: was reagan soft?
Ask the Soviets.
Since Reagan himself called it terrorism, and was soft on it, I'll go ahead and say that Reagan was soft on terrorism.
for having an avatar picture of the IRA and being Irish.. why do you have a hardtime struggling to define terrorism.
Ask the terrorist who bombed the barracks and took hostages after Reagan gave thousands of missiles to Iran.
Was definitely soft of Reagan to pullout of Lebanon after declaring war on them.
Dude ing delclares war on Lebanon, invades them, pulls out first time they fight back.
Clearly soft.
And also I agree that it's patently absurd to intimate Reagan even knew what the Soviet Union was much less had anything to do with their demise.
Dude's heyday was 40's and 50's Hollywood and he hung out with guys like John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, all those guys did was make movies back then plus it was a totally a political environment at that time. Trust me...you never heard the words communism and Hollywood in the same sentence back then.
I think I even remember one time Reagan being asked what a cold war was and he answered, it's war with snow?
Trust me, it's completely ludicruous to say Reagan had any agenda concerning, communism, the Soviet Union, or the Cold War when he was elected. He just wanted to be known for something other than bedtime for Bonzo.
When he supported the Afghan Rebels and they decimated the Soviet Army for pennies on the dollar? Reagan didn't even ing know the Soviet Union was there, he was just trying to help foreign fighters take over Afghanistan from the Agfghani people.
That whole cozying up to Saddam Hussein and his socialist ideology before the Soviets did...Reagan just thought Saddam was a Republican with a nice tan and thought they needed more of them
Whole nuclear arms buildup? Reagan just liked nukes. It had nothing to do with the Soviet Union.
And finally, economic reasons were not why the Soviets fell...those dudes were ing living high on the hog and just got careless.
I haven't heard anything that ridiculous since McCarthy claimed Hollywood was being taken over by lefties. I mean look at Hollywood now...it's about as left as Bush is.
Can we back to serious threads please?
terrorist is something you call someone when you've felt bullied.
And so by that logic, If any President called an act terrorism, and he was hard on it, you go ahead and say that he was on hard on terrorism.
So, I could be president, and call a dog bite an act of terrorism and react by putting it to sleep, you'd by your own logic would have to call me one badass mofo that is tought on teraist.
You're special.
So that means the whole female population have been terrorist towards you?
I think this particular act was indeed terrorism.
You could never be president. You think the nation of Lebanon is in the US.So, I could be president, and call a dog bite an act of terrorism and react by putting it to sleep, you'd by your own logic would have to call me one badass mofo that is tought on teraist.
You're special.
If you disagree with Reagan so vehemently, give us your reasons why he was so wrong in callinng the barracks attack terrorism.
terrorist is a label you attach so that your future acts are considered "more palatable".
Yeah, you awnsered that at first.. But didn't explain why? Still haven't. Waiting. it's been pages.
You could never be president. You think the nation of Lebanon is in the US.
No, i said the city of Lebanon was in Ohio.
because they were bombings aimed at the military.If you disagree with Reagan so vehemently, give us your reasons why he was so wrong in callinng the barracks attack terrorism.
I don't consider the attacks in Beirut to be terroristic.
Why do you argue with ghosts?
And you never answered this question:Yeah, you awnsered that at first.. But didn't explain why? Still haven't. Waiting. it's been pages.
You could never be president. You think the nation of Lebanon is in the US.
No, i said the city of Lebanon was in Ohio.
Do you think the Marine barracks attack happened in Ohio?
Yes or no.
So what definition are you using? They also bombed the embassy.because they were bombings aimed at the military.
