Donald Trump has said the US air force was “cocked and loaded” to attack three Iranian targets on Friday morning, but he called off the strike with 10 minutes to spare after being told that the airstrike might kill as many as 150 people. Trump said in a series of morning tweets that he decided late on Thursday that the death toll was not a proportionate response to the Iranian shooting down of a US spy drone off the Iranian coast 24 hours earlier.
The tweets revealed how close the world may have come to a Middle East conflagration, and raised questions over why the commander-in-chief was told so late in the planning of a military operation about the predicted loss of life involved. It would be routine for a president to be informed of the likely civilian casualties when the options are first presented. Trump tweeted: “We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, ‘How many will die?’ ‘150 people, sir’, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it, not … proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. “I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!”

You’re in luck! He made the statement on Judge Napolitano’s show a couple different times in the last month or so. Not only will your curiosity be satisfied, you will also be exposed to the reality of the situation in the ME and Ukraine when you watch.
That’s the main reason Trump wanted them out ASAP. He saw why they were there. Now everyone sees why they were left there, trip wires to the neocon wet dream of war with Iran.
I expected a nothing response like that.
Interesting, that's the same comment I hear from left wing zealots I unfortunately have to associate with whenever conversations turn to the Iraq war.
Nothin’ to it. I assume you did not follow up on the Napolitano show. You ask a question, I answer it. You get scared by the truth and it’s off to the races again with your childishness. You know where to hear and see the quote. You’re welcome.
Again, the key was the sanctions.
Telling people you saw it on some guys show sometime in the past and that they can go watch all the shows that it takes until they hear the words you say you heard, is not an answer, it is mentally ill.
The Left hated “W” until they realized he was one of them.
The Left and guys like “W” LOVE wars. Makes ‘em feel good.
How I hate the Left.
There has been a certain love of war since the end of 19th century. Industrialization showed how war could be profitable on a grand scale.
Once realized, men began manipulating the affairs of nations as to line their pockets. They took control of the media to guide public opinion. They took control of the fuel sources of war. They took control of the educational systems to co-opt research. They used their profits to buy politicians who would do their bidding. There is no aspect of life that does not need to be overseen in order to keep the war machine going. There has not been a period of more than a year in the past 150 years without an armed conflict going on somewhere in the world involving one of the major powers.
It has become so obvious as to almost be comical.
10 companies now control nearly all the food production on the planet.
6 companies now control nearly all the media.
While there are many energy companies, many are controlled by their national “partners” and the 10 largest in the world control about 1/3 of the energy supply - depending on how you measure it.
It is even more murky with arms manufacturers and their countries of origin as to the size of the companies and their interconnecting ties.
All this to say there are some very rich, very powerful people who didn’t like Trump’s decision...who don’t like Trump...who will do whatever it takes to keep him out of the White House. I want him to be President again, but They will not let it happen. The only reason he was elected the first time was because they thought they could control him. When he showed he wouldn’t play ball, they threw a pandemic at him. I fear they will throw something faster and more fatal at him this time.
Interesting and compelling insight. This is the world that will enter into the soon-coming seven-year Tribulation AKA Wrath of the Lamb AKA Daniel’s 70th Week. Those who do not repent will get theirs and then some.
However, it it not quite time yet for The End - soon but not yet. And there is One who is bigger than all these Mega-Players, and He will keep things together until it’s time to let loose. (It’ll launch with a seven-year WWIII and hell on earth the instant the withholding power of us, the church, and the Holy Spirit departs from this earth. What happens next will be unimaginably horrific. Fact will be stranger than any made-up fiction. NOBODY wants to be here during that time - IMO, near the end of this century.)
But now is not that time, so these Satanic Mega-Powers will have to wait to hatch their worldwide totalitarian schemes.
As I told someone, Trump is only the beginning of a big turnaround - he’s the first-stage booster of the orbital mission - to restore America’s Free Constitutional Republic and DEFEAT and DISMANTLE the $3+ trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal government. This will be part of an overall end-time merciful revival and incoming of souls to Jesus before that great and terrible day of his wrath.
