On February 8, 1984, the U.S.S. New Jersey fired almost 300 shells at Druze and Syrian positions in the Beqaa Valley east of Beirut. This was the heaviest shore bombardment since the Korean War. "In a nine-hour period, the U.S.S. New Jersey fired 288 16-inch rounds, each one weighing as much as a Volkswagen Beetle. In those nine-hours, the ship consumed 40 percent of the 16-inch ammunition available in the entire European theater...and in one burst of wretched excess," the New Jersey seemed to be unleashing eighteen months of repressed fury.

"Many Lebanese still recall the 'flying Volkswagens,' the name given to the huge shells that struck the Shouf." In addition to destroying Syrian and Druze artillery and missile sites, approximately 30 of these behemoth projectiles rained down on a Syrian command post, killing the senior commanding Syrian general in Lebanon along with several of his senior officers. Some of New Jersey's shells missed their intended targets and killed non-combatants, mostly Shiites and Druze.



Since 9-11 we invaded two Muslim nations.



I'm not saying that I agree with the action taken, but at least we did something.

Biden realistically doesn't stand much of a chance. It's a shame though cause he'd be a way better president than Clinton.
