IF you had such access, you would damn sure not be posting about it here.

When the CinC posts far more details on Twitter than I ever came close to approaching, you can probably sit your dumb ass down and be quiet.

What are the chances the defense dept had intel that rooshins were on site as advisors on operating fairly sophisticated radar and logistics ? Wouldn’t be the first time, you can bet there were no clandestine ops in Venezuela after Russia inserted their special ops. Russia and China both voiced their support for the ragheads after the tanker minings to keep us at bay by hinting at proxy support. You could see possible hesitation in chancing killing Russians over a drone. Even the Syria missile attack they gave Russians advance warning so there would be no casualties.

Oh good, I am really curious.

It was not clear whether Mr. Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.

Oh. I see.

Too bad the CIA is a toothless old whore; covert regime change would be a beautiful thing.

For all we know, the "rogue general" is a CIA or NEOCON etc., plant to gin up a war.

He definitely made the right call.

For whatever reason.

You cannot undo an attack on an adversaries mainland.

If you are not committed to existential war, for the duration and no matter what else, don’t hit their mainland.

Congratulations on your introduction to the Chief Resident Troll of FR! Enjoy!

He’s not banned, but guess what, even though he’s an embarrassing suckup to the management, his posts have been zotted in the past.

Like I said, enjoy!

I am very glad our POTUS decided NOT to escalate the situation, I’d it had been a plane with a pilot totally different situation, HOWEVER an unmanned drone can be handled without escalating tempers over there, we still have boots on the ground in the area and their safety comes first!!!

Another pretty worthless clickbait site that takes other peoples work and reprints it as if they were the reporters. All this is for advertising clicks. They count on Conservative readers to fall for their untrue and outrageous headlines, which they fallfor every time.

Who knows, maybe someday FR will prohibit posting from private blogs and unknown websites that are just clickbait sites. Probably about the time that q finally disappears.

Exactly. It has become acceptable for anyone to post any home grown personal blog as if its a legitimate news source. I guess if allowing qooks to post fantasies as if they were real then posting vanities as if they were news reports is just as real.

More of the misleading headlines.

“... Here’s What Happened.” Not true at all.

From the article:

“It was not clear whether Mr. Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.”

It is not clear at all what happened. Trump called off the strike.

I don’t believe any of this happened...I don’t believe that Our President called back anything...

Then I guess the realDonaldTrump twitter account has been hacked because this is what he said.

You are not trying to imply he has lied to us, huh?
