Just four short years after the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Iran, attacked our embassy and took fifty-two American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days, Iran’s proxy Hezb’Allah bombed our barracks in Beirut. The bombing of the Beirut Marine barracks in 1983 was the single largest non-nuclear explosion since World War II. The attack killed 241 service members, including 220 Marines. Our refusal to respond reflected our failure to take seriously the threat of jihadi conquest and war.
Worse still, President Obama actively supported Iran and its proxy Hezb’Allah. President Barack Obama blocked legislation that would hold Iran accountable for the Hizb’Allah bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines in 1983. He gave billions to Iran in the failed nuclear pact with the mullahs, and sought to forge a more amiable relationship with Hezb’Allah.
President Trump is working to reverse America’s retreat. He is meeting fierce resistance from the terror-aligned EU and the Democrat party of jihad.

Horrendous. I know some of the rescuers.
Sadly the US has still done nothing about this slaughter of American troops. Hezbollah and its supporters should’ve been wiped out in response.
It’s very odd to me that the West rallied together against Nazism, eradicating tens of millions of followers of Hitler and to this day we’ve done nothing about an equally genocidal ideology, Islam and the followers of Mohammad.
Arguably Islam is even worse since it has billions of followers and has been murdering/raping people for 1400 years. It seems the West fears Muslims even though they’re far weaker than we are. Not to mention, many of our fellow citizens are traitors and support this evil death cult.
I know we will defeat them in the end but how many innocents will Muslims get away with killing until the real fight back against Islam begins?
The U.S. refused to respond. And thirty five years later, nothing’s changed.
Reagan cut and ran. Hezbollah did not. Iran and Russia are aligned in the area and now Turkey is joining in. Disastrous consequences await because of this pullout.
Pamela, thank you for posting this. Forgotten history by the MSM. Following Beirut there was
1985 TWA 847
1988 William Higgins
1988 Pan Am 103
1993 World Trade Center
1996 Khobar Towers
1998 US Embassy Kenya, US Embassy Tanzania
2000: USS Cole
2000 US Embassy Manila
2001 9/11
and many, many more attacks large and small, but all deadly.
how far back do you want to go? in the 1790’s, american sailers in the mediterranean were captured by muslims and imprisoned for 10 years. they were brutally treated and many died. the muslims have been an enemy of america since america became a country. to believe otherwise, and to even import this scum, is beyond stupid
don’t forget that reagan turned and ran from the mideast after this. the proper response would have been to court martial the marine commander responsible for putting those marines in such an easy target, followed by turning tehran into a smoldering pile of bricks. reagan wanted nothing to do with those crazy muslims
Rest in peace.
We can’t win a war we won’t take seriously!

Another incident our guvmint knew about beforehand but did not even communicate the threat to the commanders. Sad and pathetic.
