    Exactly the same as Qud#1. There is no difference whatsoever, except for the names of the Americans he slaughtered.

    Except Trump cleaned up Obama's mess.

    No, I’m telling you what happened, like as a matter of fact.

    I wouldn’t say I’m the one claiming to “know what’s best for them”. I would bestow that title on the ones clamoring for regime change through force.

    Obviously, since we don't want to force you to find something else to complain about.

    Iran just went all-in and followed through with the attacks Soleimani set up against Iraq and multiple American bases.

    Iranian navy :float:and air force :flying:about to be completely obliterated.:evilfire:

    Maybe they missed the "disproportionate":police: part? :dunno:

    3 years of military restraint by Trump means 3 year's worth of payback is coming due. :smiley-chainsaw:

    John Kerry and his Mullahs better get their asses out of Tehran quick! :tornado:

    How does anyone really know the facts?
    Just saying.
    There is so much propaganda on both sides.
    I’m thinking about our troops, civilians and the Iranian people that have been held hostage by the religious mullahs. I heard that guy even had killed 1500 Iranian protestors.

    Maybe next week we can spread some plague or something.

    I miss good old fashioned human suffering, who's with me?

    Iran is plagued by dictatorial Mullahs.

    America is delivering vaccinations.

    Rep. Michael Waltz: Iran has 'a long history of marching right up to the edge and then eventually backing down'
    By Charles Creitz | Fox News

    House Armed Services Committee member Michael Waltz, R-Fla., said Tuesday that he believes President Trump will respond to any U.S. casualties at the hands of Iran in a similar way to former President Ronald Reagan in 1988.

    "I think this is going to be very similar to ... Operation Praying Mantis in the late 1980s, where Iran struck and almost sank one of our frigates. Our response -- the Reagan administration's response -- was to sink half of their Navy," Waltz said on "Special Report" in response to breaking reports that Iran had fired missiles at bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq.


    Operation Praying Mantis came in response to Iranian mines nearly sinking the U.S.S. Samuel B. Roberts, a frigate that had been chaperoning Kuwaiti oil tankers through the Persian Gulf. The ship had to be towed to shore in the United Arab Emirates after a mine blew a hole in its hull.

    The U.S. Navy responded by bombing and sinking several Iranian military vessels and other targets.

    "And beyond there, Iran didn't respond again," said Waltz, who added that Iran's government ultimately does not want a full-scale war with the U.S. because it could lead to the fall of the hard-line Islamic regime.


    "They have a long history of marching right up to the edge and then eventually backing down and surviving to spread its malfeasance another day," he said.

    Waltz, a retired Green Beret, said Tuesday's events remind him of Iran's recent attack on the Saudi Arabian oil entity Aramco.

    "[That attack was] very sophisticated [and] surprised a lot of Iran-watchers and analysts," he said. "You had effective coordination between unmanned drones and surface-to-surface cruise missiles on the part of Iran which was a pretty sophisticated capability. It doesn't surprise me these were falling on Iraq because with the militias that [Qasem] Soleimani until a few days ago commanded, they would have effective reconnaissance to be able to dial these missiles in."

    To be fair, even the usually left leaning news outlets have got their MAGA hats on for this war. The establishment and their propaganda peddlers love them some war.
