Republican (fascist/socialist) President Reagan, in an informal exchange with reporters in Brownsville, texas, comments on the recent attack on the United states embassy in Lebanon, telling them, “We’ve had an investigation.  There was no evidence of any carelessness or anyone not performing their duty.”

       NOTE: The truth is Reagan had yet to order an official investigation.
