     If you can only post links and gibberish please just keep doing that in the box as it serves zero purpose or value or discussion. The reason for THIS forum is to have discussion not post partisan silly links and partisan poking comments and that alone. You seem completely incapable of any meaningful posts or interaction or content.

    Yep, good info.  Just saw even Yahoo posted that.

    Hopefully, that will weaken their infrastructure and their willpower a bit.  At this point that becomes more and more important.

    So far at least 3 of our soldiers are returning in body bags.

    Are these suckers & losers too?

    Amazing how those who have never served are so quick to send our uniformed men & women into harms way.

The reason I want you to give parameters and boundaries is because that is how our government works it is not a fascist king who does what he wants and nobody has to follow the framework of our government and constitution and especially your political partisan side has to be strongly understanding this even more than the nasty evil lib side. Your side pounds the pavement on the framework of the government and the constitution and yet you have all the shade in the world for Trump, it just does not work like that...well it does because we see it does but that wont be lasting too much longer.

    What analysis of mine says we have bigger fish to fry? Please explain.

    Your problem is you hate Israel and Trump. A double whammy for you. 

    Iran wants nukes. Iran would probably be the first to use one. Whether it's Israel, Suadi Arabia, or Kuwait maybe, it's nuclear war. I'm not making any judgements until I see how things unfold. Could be a real mess, or could save a lot of future lives.

    @UNIMAN

     

    The facts are; Iran has a history supporting terrorism. Iran has spent billions trying to create a nuclear arsenal. Trump and Israel destroyed much of that capability back in July. Iran turned around and keeps moving on, and I'm sure faster, developing nuclear capabilities. They didn't heed the message. Unless they agree to stop all nuclear ambitions what else is left to do?

    It's risky, sure. How much US involvement is questionable. But the alternative was Iran continue to kill their own people who desire freedom and then waiting for the day Iran starts a nuclear war. Cannot bury your head in the sand forever.

    This is your rationalization for starting a war without congress being involved and as you also admitted to the 100% aid and support of Israel. 

    Now read what I said above, if THIS is the measure for validating this action there are BIGGER FISH TO FRY...your words, what is not understood in my message?

    I get it...

Like you..   

    Do any of you libs actually have any forethought ?    It is apparent you and all other libs on this site only react to the "here and now."  

     

    Remember, you are the party of AOC, Talib, that pushes against the party of the People.  

     

    Would it be too provocative to tell you to wisen up ?

     I know you are not a kiddo and I know you have a reasonable understanding of Iran and its history so tell me when in the history of my life of midnight of don juan of even several generations back has Iran done ANY of what you are suggesting?

    This is what I was referencing a bit ago about the pillars of sand your side leans on which has no truth and no strength and its the same stupid logic that lured this country into Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan etc etc that something exists which didnt and doesnt. Iran is not a threat to the US, Iran has never been a threat and even watching your favorite brainwash channels you still cannot get to a point which makes these lies a reality.

    Iran is a lousy country but most every country over there is lousy...SA is lousy, Kuwait lousy, Iraq lousy, its all lousy yet that is not the measure to which we invade and start a war with a country. There is ZERO US threat, there was ZERO Iraq threat its a full false lie and I dont need to be told from some partisan nitwit that they are because history and my brain show me it is completely untrue.

    US intelligence and Pentagon downplay Trump claims of Iran threats.  No evidence Iran has a nuclear weapon or missiles capable of reaching US in the near future.  US attack is unnecessary because of some progress in negotiations.  Problem is Trump is too impatient although diplomacy is preferable to war.  Obama's Iran nuclear deal required years of negotiations between multiple countries.  If stupid Trump did not withdraw US from that successful Iran nuclear deal, there would be no need for war today.

    Risk of no winners in Iran war.  Regime change is uncertain.  First, regime may survive.  Second, regime might collapse to be replaced by leaders more repressive and less likely to make concessions to US and Israel.  Third, political instability that could be hard to contain.  So in going to war to exploit Iran weaknesses, Trump could face a lose-lose outcome that leaves no one better off.

     Follow the chain instead of playing partisan patty cake. The first post in the chain from Rush was unnecessary and provoking so using your logic you go to the root and I should ban Rush...and you do the same thing yourself you provoke then cry foul when someone responds in a way you do not like.

     Forethought?

    Yeah, we follow the intelligence on hand to act or not act. The intelligence available states it will be a decade or more before Iran had the ability to create a nuclear bomb. The lack of intelligence on the right is severely lacking.

    Over the weekend, TACO SHOCKO offered four different explanations in roughly 48 hours for why he launched what the Pentagon is now calling “major combat operations” against Iran. He said he wanted “freedom for the people” of Iran. Then he said it was about the nuclear program. Then it was about regime change. Then it was a preemptive strike because Iran was about to attack American bases. Pentagon officials, however, briefed congressional staffers and said there was no evidence Iran had been planning any such strikes. Trump also claimed Iran was building missiles that could soon reach the American homeland. U.S. intelligence assessments concluded the opposite, finding that Iran was years from any such capability and wasn’t even pursuing it.

    The reasons & justifications changed by the hour. Nothing he or his administration says is believable. Yet there are still shrooms that will GOBBLE up all the bullshit as evidenced in this forum.

    There’s a State Department hotline. Secretary of State Liddle Lyin Marco posted a video Tuesday morning telling stranded Americans to call it for help.

    So people called. And here’s what they heard.

    “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation. At this time, there are currently no United States evacuation points.”

    That’s an automated message. Not a person. Not a plan. Just the government telling Americans that they’re on their own.

    This administration is FUBAR!!!

    In the past several days, over 9,000 American citizens have safely returned from the Middle East, including over 300 from Israel, according to a State Department press release.

    The Department said it is facilitating charter flights from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan for American citizens, and will continue to secure additional capacity as security conditions allow.

    Commercial aviation options remain available in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, and Egypt, and the Department is actively helping American citizens book those tickets, the agency said.

    For those in countries lacking commercial aviation availability, the agency said it is facilitating travel to third countries as conditions allow. That includes increasing ground transportation options for American citizens wishing to leave Israel.

    The State Department will also waive any statutory requirement for American citizens to reimburse the government for travel expenses, according to the press release.

    The secretary said Americans should get in touch via two phone numbers it is sharing: +1-202-501-4444 (from abroad) and +1-888-407-4747 (from the US and Canada).

     I called the 1-888#.

    They were unable to provide any information & stated they were waiting for a plan.

    Call the # yourself.

    @UNIMAN

     Q: Was there a plan in place to evacuate Americans before the attack?

    MARCO RUBIO: That's the plan we're trying to carry out. The problem is airspace closures.

    Who'd thunk it???

    9,000 escaped. WOW! There are thousands still there & hundreds of thousands other foreigners trying to get out. Their homelands must be outraged at Commander Cankles for putting their loved ones in danger.

    BTW...I don't believe a word coming out of the State Department or the whole administration for that matter.

    LMAO! Sen. John Kennedy, as usual, REALLY has a way with words on Fox tonight "Sean, in the words of Congresswoman Omar -- I love you like a brother." "I don't hate anyone. But I will shed no tears for the Ayatollah khomeini. He won the coin toss. And he elected to receive. And BOY did he receive. May he rest in pieces." "President Trump has got political will. He's got oranges. And like him or dislike him, the world is safer today because of what he has done."

    so if one side provokes it is fine , if the other side does it its bad , to put it in a simple term ? 

    Most folks posting here have sent provocative messages , but many have learned to avoid personal insults , particulary the ones who you refer to as the Right. 

    Those will get boxed if they insult sb personally , the Left leaning ones have a free pass , we have seen this pattern over years , and this has been happening under

    your moderation of this so called forum.

    Obviously, war in the middle east does not make the world safer today.  In the future, higher risk of nuclear war if more countries develop more nuclear weapons to defend themselves against US that can no longer be trusted.
