Believe that garbage if you want.
Israel has been blowing up Jihadist crap for decades.

You’re seriously misinformed.

History would indicate that our history of regime change is mixed, we’ve had successes and failures. And the possibility of regime change in China and Russia are not even plausible so why even bring it up, however it is a very real possibility in Iran.

The Person Whose opinion matters most will deal with Iran — and just for fun He uses the vultures for cleanup.

Read Ezekiel. 38 and 39.

Courtesy of our billions and our support. Israel exists because Nixon bailed them out and they are able to curb Hamas et al to the limited extent that they do courtesy of the money WE have chopped out of our paychecks for taxes. Despite all of which, for some reason, they can’t be bothered to fight alongside us even when we’re in their own backyard.

They handle nothing because they can squeeze America to handle for them. Why put boots on the ground in Syria or Iraq and you can just let American boots doing the humping for you?

”Greatest ally”, barely any better than Europe, exploiting US resources for money and protection.

Time to put Bolton back out to pasture

He wants to keep starting wars


In an amazing coincidence, so do the mullahs ... nuclear wars. What, you though Iran was just making ICBMS and nuclear warheads for self-defense? BAhAHAhAHAA ... etc.

The Iranian chant, “Death to America” is not an Iranian slogan but their plan. Mass death will bring the 12th imam out of the Well and fulfill the Mullahs desire - it matters not to them if they die in the process because they believe that the 12th Imam will bring the entire human race through war to Paradise, aka extinction. They are not called the Mad Mullahs for no reason. And nuclear war is their method.

Nah, I think we should wait until Iran hits Europe with nukes.

Then perhaps someone of these arm chair quarter-backs would have a clue.

I know that’s being generous...

Bolton is one of the FEW in the government who realized that Iran DECLARED WAR on the USA when they seized our embassy on 4 Nov 1979. The mullahs have been waging war against us ever since that date.

I hope we attack the Iranian gov’t. If we stop them now then there will be no nuclear bombs going of killing millions.

my general rule is when someone says they will destroy you is to act as if you believe them.

MY feelings about Iran have nothing to do with Bolton or Bush. Except I believe Bush II went into the wrong country to kill Saddam who was plotting to kill his father when he citied Kuwait.

Yes, Bush family drama was a contributor to the decision.

If Trump goes to war with Iran or anyone else it won’t be endless.

If I were president instead of military invasion I would have lobbied a few dozen rockets into his compound and kill his two evil sons.

Sometimes it takes a big stick - the question is whether one should swing it before or after a rogue nation starts spewing nukes. Having a “Big Stick” plan isn’t a push for war.

Interestingly Saddam was terrified of cruise missiles. He and many Iraqis were sort of insulated even after the air campaign leading up to Desert Storm. Ironically it was the endless stream of cruise missiles that were fired into Iraq over a three day period in December 1999 that really spoked him. This was the farcically named ‘Operation Desert Fox’ that Slick Willie directed as a distraction as the House was about to vote impeachment articles. In the military its real purpose was quickly known and the exercise was dubbed ‘Operation Monica’. Saddam was so shaken up by missiles hitting first one palace then another that he went into semi-retirement and turned over day to day operation of the state to his two sons.

I agree, read those books many times. Over and over. And it hasn’t happened yet.

Some folks will learn the hard way. Too bad....
