When will OUR President stop allowing Iran to be a sanctuary, supply and recruit depot for the terrorist who kill our troops. Why does he wait until they have the weapons to make our hitting them sooooo much costlier?

This is not like Nam, its worse than Nam, at least in Nam we bombed the enemy sanctuaries!
