Every ten feet is a “cultural site” with these people.

The president didn't say he would target cultural SITES. He said his targets would be "important to the culture." Destroying jobs by taking out refineries is "important to the culture."

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2020 Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.....

....targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!

52 unknown targets out of literally hundreds or thousands. Graham does great on judges but he likes to hear himself talk on TV way too much.

The World Trade Center was a monument to globalism.

If al-Qaeda could have destroyed the place without injuring anyone, I'd probably be OK with it.

Trump’s advisors—Pompeo and DoD, I’m looking at you—set him up with that list. They knew “cultural sites” was a violation of international law and sent him on out with that script.

Targeting cultural sites is wrong. It was wrong when the Taliban did it and it is still wrong. Military targets, fine.It is also wrong when the liberals do it.
