pretty much like the bombing by
French Super Etendard in 1983 against Lebanese factions after the Beirut
bombings (how did the US retaliate BTW?).


An ill concieved strike against Syrian targets in eastern Lebanon.


What do you qualify as an "ill concieved strike"? The French bombing (you'd
be right in that case) or the US retaliation?

The US retaliatory strike was ill concieved, poorly executed and didn't meet
the intent it was designed to have. But hey, it was 1983 and the US Department
of Defense was still trying to drag itself out of the "hollow force" put in
place by Carter (and actually begun under Ford).
