We did not have a military base in Lebanon. We were part of a multi-national peacekeeping force in Lebanon. Months before the barracks that housed our Marines were attacked, our U.S. Embassy in Beirut was also attacked, which also was part of the decision to remove our forces from Lebanon.
If you're going to argue, at least argue from some position based in fact. Otherwise I'm going to start introducing unicorns and ogres to the mix.

By starting hit with Iran I'm referring to the Kyl Lieberman resolution and all of the pols saying, "all options are on the table." You know this.
As far as Lebanon, I have no interest in semantics. We were over there. You know this too.
If you're going to argue, do so. If not, have fun with your unicorns.
