If it walks like the enemy, talks like the enemy, and proposes what the enemy considers to be a victory, I’d say there’s a strong case to be made that it is an enemy.

in Beirut President Reagan changed direction
That should be highlighted as well.
The US had a history of running from terrorism overseas before 2001. We had a more isolationist view. Now it’s all different.

Spagnum,
What is not mentioned and is seldom told is that while we did indeed withdraw the Marines from Beirut, we got our own back before leaving.
A Syrian artillery regiment and the ridge it was emplaced on were explosively redistributed (16” rounds, serveral 9 round salvoes). Hizbollah also suffered a sudden vriulent and wide sperad outbreak of high velocity lead poisoning which may or may not have anything to do with the SEAL teams going ashore loaded for bear and returning Winchester.

"change direction"= cut and run = surrender
Some of us have been referencing OBL on this since the Dem surrender monkeys first started shooting off their mouths months ago. It’s the only way we can lose in the Middle East - show weakness.
