28 years ago today 241 Americans (220 Marines, 18 Sailors, and three civilians) were blown up at the Beirut International Airport while on a U.N. peacekeeping mission. In a separate bombing the same day, 58 French troops were killed. That act was left unpunished.

This was a needles slaughter. 28 years later Hezbollah, via Iran, is basically running Lebanon. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.

When are we ever going to learn that all our blood spilled in that region is for nothing. They hate anyone not a Muslim…pure and simple, always have always will. All you have to do is read some history to know this is true.

With that said, this is a sad anniversary to have to remember. May those who lost their lives that day rest in peace, and know they are not forgotten.

Whether or not you agree we should have been involved in Libya, spending a billion dollars in the process, doesn’t matter now…it’s a done deal.

What I find interesting is we (NATO…which is we) spent over six months bombing, many time deliberately targeting Qadaffis’ compound, or other areas we thought he might be located. So we and the French attack a convoy (that we supposedly didn’t know had Qadaffi as a passenger), the convoy goes boom, and Qadaffi runs and finds a drainage pipe to hide in. When the rebels found him, they paraded him around, then put a bullet in his head…end of story. That bullet saved an obscene amount of money and many years of a pointless trial/circus at the Hague (waste).

So what happens now, the U.N. decides there needs to be an investigation of his death, and Hillary Clinton just agreed with that on Meet the Press. Brilliant.

Nope, no investigation needed, he died a fitting and recorded end.
