The Daily Mail offers a piece
on Vice President Pence’s comments about the Marine Corps barracks bombing in
Beirut in 1983.
US Vice President Mike Pence
described the 1983 bombing of a Marine Corps barracks in Beirut as the opening
shots of the "war of terror" Monday, as he issued fresh warnings to
Iran and Hezbollah.
Speaking during a ceremony at
another building used to house Marines in Washington, Pence berated Tehran and
framed the attack that killed 241 Americans as part of a series of outrages
that included 9/11.
"Thirty-four years ago
today, America was thrust into war with an enemy unlike any we had ever
faced," said Pence -- who is the father and brother of US Marines.
"The Beirut barracks
bombing was the opening salvo in a war that we have waged ever since -- the
global war on terror," he said.
