Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is meeting tomorrow with a pair of senior military commanders as tensions with Iran show no sign of abating.
Pompeo is heading to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus told reporters Monday. "There, he will meet with Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of Central Command, and Gen. Richard Clarke, commander of Special Operations Command, to discuss regional security concerns and ongoing operations," she said.
McKenzie is the Marine Corps general responsible for U.S. military operations in the Middle East, and Clarke is the Army general in charge of U.S. special forces.

Nonsense. Pure nonsense.
We’re under attack from so many angles...
Q: WHO BENEFITS MOST IF TRUMP GETS ENTANGLED IN ANOTHER MIDEAST WAR, THUS LOSING HIS 2020 BID?
A: CHINA!
Yep, grand puppet masters CHINA is nudging Iran into this mess!
Ain’t gonna happen.
Uncle Sugar is supposed to save their bacon.
Just ask them.
and kick'em in the ass while you hold their nose.
Iran is not currently invading my state via the Southern Border. Isn’t the Secretary of State supposed to promote America’s interests?
Wish this swamp creature would take his swamp creature neocon buddies, and just go away.
Iran has committed acts of war against us many times and suffered nothing. It is time for payback.
There isn’t going to be war with Iran. Watch.
“MOAB”
That is a pallet dropped from a huge, lumbering cargo plane. It requires complete control of the airspace. That would not happen under the best of circumstances.
You don't know Generals very well. Troop bleedings are HUGE career enhancers.
I have met a few generals.
How many have you met?
Most military men want to avoid war.
The idea the military pushes for war is a myth.
Wars not for America’s benefit.
Never again.
We do not have armed forces that could even come CLOSE to winning a war with Iran.
And Iran is being swayed by team Obama saying they have their back.
I served under, worked for and with MANY both in .mil and many years afterward.
Most won't admit to liking "war" in the abstract, but everyone making a career out of the military likes a nice CIB and all the various ribbons that goes with it. Brings money, advancement and prestige.
There are some whose ethics transcend that, but it's naive to think that many of them wouldn't see this as a huge opportunity. It's Mecca to some.
Thank you.
I completely agree. Your post is about the only post on this thread worth reading.
I agree totally.
Thats such a disrespectful comment. Our military commanders provide options. They have resources trained and ready to give CiC flexibility to negotiate or otherwise. No real American soldier, sailor, or airman seeks war. They fearlessly execute orders and provide all the alternatives with risk assessments of those options.
I ran from Iran
Da do run run run

They have more info than we do and more aware of the real situation and we need to trust them.
I heard those exact words before Bush went into Iraq. He destroyed Iraq - and his presidency
