Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene: My thoughts on bombing Iran ("I'm sick of it", "Enough is enough")

"I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran,..." No, I didn't personally know any of the 241 Marines who were killed in the Iranian attack in Lebanon, but they still matter. As do the thousands killed and wounded by Iranian IEDs in Iraq.

And the list goes on.

I've always liked MJT, but also understand she isn't among our "best and brightest".

Concur,

I remember November 4, 1979, when Iranian students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held 66 American diplomats and citizens hostage. That was an attack on the USA.

Greene should be replaced by someone more faithful.

HOORAY President Trump!

She could go piss up a rope.”

I must agree with you and a few others. Her mouth often runs wild while her brain is still sleeping. I’ve caught her making remarks that are not historically accurate. Some of them have pissed me off. Today is another example.

I would say she’s our AOC, only a little brighter. She’s not presidential material, if that’s her goal by perpetually running her mouth.

[P.O.E.]

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran

But I know Americans who were the victims of the poisonous ideology that drives radical Islam.

I was in Lebanon in 83. That statement is hate speech .

Terrific write up???

She and her compadres are giving comfort to the mullahs. Historians say the Vietnam war protests in the United States steeled the resolve of North Vietnam.

Greene is saying that the mullahs with their finger on a nuclear trigger is no problem to her and her kids.

She is truly stupid strategy wise. The die is cast and an unified front by American leaders would jerk the mullahs in line much quicker than proclaiming crap like this.

When and if a “forever war” develops in the Middle East for Americans, then that is the time to complain. It would be alarming if the Biden administration, etc., were in power.

Leadership makes all the difference in the world.

Oh I forgot. The Middle East totally was calm and collected once Joe Biden so methodically and masterfully got us out of Afghanistan.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yeah, thank God we got all those nukes Saddam had pointed at us!/sarc Wise the hell up.

Apparently I'm wiser than most. Iran also has/had an intercontinental ballistic missile program. Think about it.

I'm also aware that Trump is not a war hawk and probably has intel the public knows nothing about.

MTG, your true leader of MAGA that won the election for flip flob Trump.

“a hot war that Israel started”

She seriously believes this?!!!

[sauropod]

Not up to you or Mama Marjorie.

[metmom]

Fine, go live there and see how you feel.

[MayflowerMadam]

“She seriously believes this?!!!”

It’s scary how many alleged conservatives are jumping on to the antisemitic bandwagon, right?

[metmom]

Who said this was an endless foreign war?

One stealth attack does not an endless war make.

[stockpirate]

She is wrong on so many levels it is beyound stupid.

[metmom]

Exactly.

The thought that the nukes would only be used against Israel is sheer idiocy. They have vowed to destroy us as well as Israel.

A nuke strike on American soil would raise screams about why President Trump didn’t do something earlier from the same crowd that is now damning him for that very action.

[enumerated]

Our side fretting about “Regime Change” is just as stupid as the Democrats fretting about “Climate Change”.

The climate changes and so do regimes - it’s not necessarily a bad thing and it’s not always America’s fault.

The one thing I agree with in MTG’s screed: Why haven’t we used bunker busters on the Mexican cartels’ tunnels and compounds?

[vpintheak]

I can hear the themesong now... du-dum, dum da dum...

[Pontiac]

But we need to bomb the living crap out of them and make them regret their pathetic “death to America” chants

Fine.

Do it the right way. Make a case for War on the floor of Congress.

Get a Declaration of War.

Trump ignored that part. <{P> The power to make war is in the Legislature, not the Executive.

The reason the Framers put the power to go to war in the Legislature was to avoid taking a divided country to war.

In the recent past our cowardly political class has avoided making the decision to make a formal declaration of war and passed Joint Resolutions giving the president war powers (War on Terror).

As a result the United States has been at war constantly with a populace deeply divided about these wars.

Trump should have at least gone to Congress for a Resolution to Commence Hostilities to Contain the Iranian Threat (or some other politically correct name).
