Well done Mr. President!

This has been a masterful display on the part of Donald Trump and a shameful one on the parts of democrats and the left wing media. Once more he plays chess to their checkers.

“Assassination!” spits Chris Matthews.

Trump is on the verge of a 9-11 attack on Iran!, screams Ed Markey

“This could very well be war!” cries Elliot Engel

“Endless war!” wails Chuck Schumer

NY Times: Soleimani is like Martin Luther King!

Richard Engel of NBC is scared to death that Trump might taunt Iran

That jerk Seth Moulton: “Maybe Trump will kill Putin next!”

Iran mounted an attack in response to the termination of Soleimani – a very meager one. The military knew it was coming

U.S. military officials were warned about Iran’s pending ballistic missile strike “when the air defense systems went active” shortly before the attack was launched, a U.S. official in Baghdad told Fox News on Wednesday.

U.S. intelligence picked up “chatter” from Iran and inside Iraq, tipping off American forces to a strike around 1:30 a.m. local time — or 5:30 p.m. ET. Soon after, Iran launched more than a dozen short-range ballistic missiles into Iraq, striking military bases housing American and coalition troops. Officials said there were no reported casualties.

Besides, they told us

A senior U.S. official told Fox News that Iranian officials warned Iraq about the pending missile attack because Tehran did not want to kill Iraqi forces. Some Iraqi forces also warned their American counterparts, however, the U.S. had already known “for hours” that Iran was planning to launch the attack.

“That warning was not a surprise to us,” the U.S. official added. “We already knew it was coming.”

So they cleared out the bases and waited. Fifteen missiles fired, 4 failed and the damage was relatively minor.

Among all the screams to de-escalate, Trump was already de-escalating

Pentagon officials told Fox News the advance warning of the Iranian missile attack is the reason Defense Secretary Mark Esper held a hasty press conference Tuesday afternoon. He said he wanted to offer Iran an off-ramp talk “without preconditions,” he told reporters.

This morning Iran claims it wants no more escalation.

This all appears almost choreographed. Iran knows Soleimani was a bad ass and Trump was right to end him but Iran needed to save face.

Is it shorter at the blog?

The Anti-Trump Morons are just too stupid to understand that Trump TOWERS over them—intellectually and morally.

Trump is like that 1960s Batman TV show. Every week they think they have him in a lethal trap designed to deal with him once and for all, but he -always- manages to escape.

It’s really kinda funny to watch.

I think of Trump as the roadrunner and Pelosi, Mueller, Schiff, et al. as Wile E. Coyote who lobs missiles at Trump, attempts to drop anvils on him, etc., and all their attempts come back to hurt them, while Trump emerges unscathed and stronger.

Because that's what Bloggy McBlogface WANTS me to do.

It is interesting how many Freepers cracked this code early this morning. Then, they came to basically the same conclusions noted above.

Well, this is the rest of it. Two sentences and some words. Guess something needed to be saved as clickbait. Strange, though. I don’t get the blogger mindset.

**********

Trump granted them the opportunity to do that- a weak response causing no casualties and not much damage and everyone seems content- at least so far.

A fair trade. Well done.

All while the media and the left wing media were rooting for Trump to fail.

The problem with your analogy is that like the coyote who constantly finds himself run over a cliff, the democrats unfortunately never look down

Wait a minute, you exercised your judgement and did not click the link he tried to trick you into clicking, but you DID get tricked into clicking on his original post.

As a practicing internet professional, I think you should consider therapy for impulse control, and also simply not click or comment on all links which might be trying to trick you, especially those which might be related to evil blogs.

Abstaining in this manner will make everyone’s use of this site more pleasant, perhaps even including your own.

[humblegunner]

you DID get tricked into clicking on his original post.

Yes, I trust Free Republic.

As a practicing internet professional

Any time someone begins a sentence with "As A" I immediately discard it.
That means they are trying to set themselves up as superior.

not click or comment on all links which might be trying to trick you, especially those which might be related to evil blogs.

To fight the thieves and self promoters, one must engage them.

Looks like Trump is colluding with Iran. We need another special counsel investigation!

Implying that you’re not the latter... and also not ‘superior’?

My sides!

humblegunner, perhaps some people want to give credit and some value to the person who is being plagiarized and the site that first published their work. Plagiarism is a form of theft even if you feel it inconveniences you (just like the checkout counter at the grocery).
