| And no appropriate punishment punishment was dealt on Iran's paramilitaries. America has made mistakes like Obama's stacking a C-5A with $100 bills trying to appease Iran. It only emboldened them. Israel is now confronted by the aftermath.

| It was a sad day. It ruined the sailors’ joke of Marines never having lost a main gate in a very sobering way. I don’t think any sailor repeated that joke after that day. May those who died in service for this country rest in peace.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

| It is rumored that Hezbollah terrorist Imad Mughniyeh was watching his plan unfold in Beirut that morning in late October. Almost 25 years later, on February 12, 2008, in Damascus, Syria, Mughniyeh departed a meeting just after 10pm. Less than an hour later, the man responsible for the deaths of more American citizens than any other up until September 11, 2001, approached his silver Mitsubishi Pajero SUV. Some reports indicate another vehicle then pulled alongside and detonated a shaped charge. Others suggest the spare tire on the back of the Pajero was replaced with one containing a bomb. Still others report that Mughniyeh slid behind the wheel and turned the key. Somewhere, an unknown finger pressed a button detonating an improvised explosive device of RDX imbedded with nails and bolts inside the headrest. No intelligence service has ever confirmed involvement in the targeted assassination though it does bear the hallmarks of one whose former motto came from Proverbs 24:6 - "For by wise guidance you can wage your war." There is RUMINT that they were assisted by another agency whose unofficial motto also comes from the Bible, John 8:32 – “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |
