I remember the Marine barracks bombing along with a couple others. I was in the army at the time. I was going through basic training during the Iran hostage crisis. When the peanut farmer was President, 53 American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days. Then Regan was sworn in, and the hostages were all freed within hours.

Why did the Libyan Navy have glass-bottomed boats?

So they could see the Libyan Air Force.  ;D

I thought it was to review their submarines with the screen doors in them?

That's the Polish navy. You know why the Polish navy has screen doors on their submarines? To keep the fish out!


P.S. When I was at work someone kept score on the white board.
Libya 0  U.S. 2  ;D  They lost that stupid game. Their prize is resting on the sea floor.

Forget about Blue states and Red states. I'm voting Tangerine! I saw this on YouTube last week. It and sounds a lot like The Byrds version of  Mr. Tambourine Man and is pretty good IMO.
