I do not agree with the Donald on that one. But, it depends where the strikes, or the targets were.

I agree with Donald too, although he is probably playing a deeper game than we can see. Someone once said that war is politics by a different means, and that your goal in battle should be to strike at your opponant’s “Center of mass”. While we have the world’s most fearsome military, our weakness is that often we use it too predictably. This allows a weaker power, like Iran, to manipulate us into battles we cannot win politically, because our center of mass is our domestic public opinion, often influenced by the drive by media and fickle instant polling.
