Apprehension of Terrorists
You and the gutless idiots in the Reagan Administration whose case you plead so eloquently refuse to face up to the cold, hard fact that the only solution to terrorism is annihilation of Lebanon, Iran, Libya and Syria!
Or, what happened to our fearless leader’s promise of “swift and effective retribution” in response to the wanton murder of our Marines in Beirut? Or, what was the ultimate response to the hostages seized in Iran? Craven, abject surrender, that’s what!
The relentless truth is that neither Jimmy Carter nor Ronald Reagan can protect citizens abroad--to say nothing of members of the armed forces. In point of fact, all enlistments in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines should be halted forthwith for this very reason. What a sad, disgusting, and revolting state of affairs!
