Obama bombed more countries than W.

[Biggirl]

No.

"For those who ask about the response," warns a Kataib Hezbollah spokesman, "it will be the size of our faith."

Hit the mfers again just for threatening this.

Time to pop this boil

[Biggirl]

The economy and it alone.

[exDemMom]

Iran and its allies sabotaged oil tankers in the Gulf, shot down a $130 million U.S. Predator drone, and shut down with missiles and drones half of Saudi Arabia's oil production.

Then let the Saudis deal with Iran. We are no longer hostage to the oil barons in the Middle East, so don't need to get directly involved.

[rawcatslyentist]

About time we stopped being Team America!

[cranked]

Speculation is either for idiots or inquisitors......

[rrrod]

Enemies like Russia and China may push us into a surrogate military response. Possibly NOKO or the good ol Middle East.

[wastoute]

So the Deep State is trying to get Trump into a war with Iran so the Rats can run against him as an “anti-war” party?

[Blueflag]

Factual error: a Predator B/ Reaper is in the range of $18 million per unit, including the spares kit. Not $130 million. Perhaps he is thinking of a Global Hawk.

[TMN78247]

The correct answer is: NO.

Yours, TMN78247

[FreedomPoster]

Correct. And Iran took out a Global Hawk.

[Blueflag]

It wasn’t a Block 10 Global Hawk if it only cost $130 million. ;-)

Service ceiling is ~60,000 ft +/-. I wonder what Iran hit it with, at what mission altitude.

[03A3]

Another Neo-con hoping?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

To quote Serpent Head himself, ‘It’s the economy, stupid.”

[Jane Long]

LOL...they sure wish.

[Impy]

I don’t see any Republicans on that list of “hurt by a war” (in their reelection year, Iraq hurt Bush but not till 2006, helped him in 2004).

[ronnie raygun]

Uh no! It will just give the fake media and the creaming radicals the ability to call him a war monger and start up the glory days of the 60”s on campus

[Beagle8U]

“Then let the Saudis deal with Iran. We are no longer hostage to the oil barons in the Middle East, so don’t need to get directly involved.”

If the Straight of Hurmuz gets blocked the world oil production comes to a screeching halt . There is no way to ignore Iran or let someone else deal with it.
