If the article can be believed - it sounds reasonable.

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

If wiping Iran off the map means 150 deaths.

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

We have been on Stand By for some time...Iran is trying with the help of Bam Bam Boy and JF’nKerry to start a war with them, it’s not going to happen...

IF and IF is a mighty strong word here, it won’t be the US that will destroy Iran it will be SA...we will be cleaning up the ashes that used to be Iran and that is all...China is telling North Korea to keep out of everything or they will go the same way as Iran will...

We are the clean up crew now, NOT the one that cause the ashes...that is left to other countries...

I do believe, however, IF we ever do go after a Country, it will be all over, cleaned up and done before we even know what happened...that is the way Our President works, you don’t know what he is or has done until it’s all over...

The article said this very well:

“President Trump has rebuilt our military as a deterrent to foreign aggressors. But, he has replaced the use of U.S. military aggression with the employment of aggressive economic strategies.

This president understands that economic security is military security and he recognizes that our rebuilt economy makes us the most powerful nation on earth.

President Trump is determined to force hostile nations to come to the negotiating table – rather than a field of combat – by the imposition of economic sanctions in order to drive better deals for America and to make the world a safer place.”

...We might even call it the “Trump Doctrine” to emphasize economic rather than military power.

Disciplined a rogue General? When we see the General executed; hung with one of those cranes in central Teheran, I'll Believe it.

So since you claim to be the "author" of this material what stopped you from posting the whole thing?

Are you maybe just trying to direct some traffic to your blog?

Are you really a parasitic scumbag like that?

the Iranian commander who ordered the strike had acted on his own and was being disciplined for his actions.

Yet another expert who wasn't there when the decision was made but has all the answers.

With that being said, that's the most likely scenario so I wonder what the disciplinary actions are going to be? Stoning? Beheading? Hanging?

You have to admit, that was a major "what the hell did you do?" moment on his part.......

It seems to me to be Reagan-like in using economic levers (e.g. Star Wars) to destroy a country. Hungry bellies have more long term clout than 150 dead.

So wiping Iran off the face of the earth would only kill 150 people? LOL

A. It was a planned piece of deception from the get go. Everyone played their roles very well, especially Potus who is a seasoned actor.

B. The deception is wreaking untold havoc in Iran. Now their military will be on GQ status for weeks not knowing what to expect and that creates demoralization and discontent.

C. Trump can now negotiate with the factions in Iran who value what was done and let them convince the rest.

D. It’s totally dishonest to say Iran would have been blown off the map, the “threat” was of a limited tactical strike.

Why do these people have to spew such BS?

Dear Iran....It's called propaganda.....But thanks for looking.

Dear Iran.....What do you mean Our President is sending mixed signals.

Dear Iran....You think you're in the poorhouse now?? You ain't seen nothing.

Trump Was Moments Away From Wiping Iran Off The Map

There are only 150 people in Iran?

We've been bogged down in Iraq - a much weaker country than Iran - for two decades now. Let's concern ourselves with building a southern border wall and defending ourselves from the ongoing invasion from Mexico before we start wiping nations off maps. Trump has his priorities straight - unfortunately there are always armchair generals who want to start something they won't be fighting in.

You know, I'm fine with it either way as long as it doesn't turn into a pattern. While I hate that they shot down a drone in international airspace, killing a bunch of people to make a point isn't vey good.

Maybe, give a warning that location "X" is going to be hit at "Y" time and date and then do it. Thus, if anyone dies it will be on Iranian hands. It would be really nice if the location was in a place where the important and not important people had to drive by it weekly.

Here’s What Happened

Followed by...

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.

M'kayyy.

The title massively overstates the case.

If the report is true that Trump was told that casualties would be 150 people, there is NO WAY IN HELL a military strike of that magnititude would “wipe Iran off the map”.

Some folks just want to see us in another way and will say anything to spike up the fever for it.

We should start recognizing who among our “friends” are selling the drum beats.

Russian equipment = Russian advisors, Korea equipment= Nork advisors, which means a possible blow up and a drag in fight with multiple players. It would be like Spain 1936. Yeah, we can all test our new soldier toys, but at what cost to the population of Iran and her neighbors. We don’t need a spill over war with everyone in the Mid east. Before we decide to use the quick draw method, think it out first, we’ve spilled too much blood in Sierra Hotel countries.

Stupid headline. They were going to take out the launch site and its ancillary equipment. Trump knew that it was only a symbolic response, and it would have really bad optics with deaths that high over a piece of equipment.

He made the right choice. Killing 150 people because of a rogue general shooting down a drone not the best solution.

We shot down an Iranian airliner, killing over 200 in a similar circumstance long ago and had to do a lot of apologizing.
