First, take a deep breath. Now take a look at the Wall Street Journal.
The otherwise fine newspaper editorially on Saturday blasted President Trump.
For what?
For not killing Iranians and blowing up Iranian targets to show how super our American power is.
The president acted humanely and rationally, weighing proportionality in response to Iran’s downing of our spy drone over international waters (we say) or Iranian waters (they say).
The WSJ, of course, is an authority on the subject of territoriality and sovereignty and the respect thereof.
The newspaper for years insisted that the United States should have no borders and the world’s people should be free to enter and exit our country with the same abandon as they would in traversing their own front yards.
The war-hawks and neocons can’t say anything good about any Trump act if it isn’t also an act of war.
This time the neocon, war-hawk, defense-industry complex is jumping all over Mr. Trump for having, as the WSJ put it, “called off a military strike against Iran in mid-mission Thursday.”
The WSJ is no more, no less of the “bomb ‘em if they’re moving — bomb ‘em if they’re not moving” school of international diplomacy as the hawks in Congress.
Take Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney. Her father Dick Cheney — talk about blasts from the past — was one of the masterminds behind the Iraq War that President George W. Bush thought he had masterminded.
(Anything that flawed has to have had a herd of masterminds — and did.)
Mrs. Cheney, who heads the House Republican Conference (meaning all Republicans in the chamber), now says exactly what her father would have said if he still held elected office.

Anyone who thinks that PDJT is weak or naive is not engaging their frontal lobes in the thought process.
It shows how much the ANSWER communists and Code Pinkos actually cared about “peace” when they were protesting Bush and the Iraq War. If anything, Trump is the most anti-war President of a generation, but he gets no recognition for it.
i thought it was about the Chicago Blackhawks..
Trump is a chicken. Why, he dodged the draft for Vietnam!
LOL
I truly don’t know why he puts up with this...
Probably wise to take a measured approach. Remember this...
“Iran Air Flight 655 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas, that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by an SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired from USS Vincennes, a guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy. The aircraft, an Airbus A300, was destroyed and all 290 people on board, including 66 children, were killed.[1] The jet was hit while flying over Iran’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, along the flight’s usual route, shortly after departing Bandar Abbas International Airport, the flight’s stopover location. Vincennes had entered Iranian territory after one of its helicopters drew warning fire from Iranian speedboats operating within Iranian territorial limits.”
The military-industrial complex must be destroyed.
Wait. The week before last they were bitching that he WAS starting a war. All I know is the enemy he should be fighting is domestic.
Donald Trump should not engage in any foreign wars until our domestic enemies are subdued.
most ordinary Americans are opposed to pointless wars, whether they be lefists or we conservatives ...
Their Uniparty leaders on both sides, on the other hand, are a bunch of warmongers.
Trump is the only President in my lifetime that has truly sought to avoid war. On the other hand, I have no doubt that if war provocations by our enemies are severe enough, that Trump will indeed release Holy Hell on any enemies foolish enough in enacting said provocations ...
I remember that clearly. The missile was being guided by some sailors on the bridge and when they hit the target everyone cheered. Then there was a hush and the realization came over everyone that it was not an incoming threat. Sad. But who knows? It’s possible that it could have been purposely directed. I’m saying possible ,so don’t jump on me,because the Iranians sent young men into minefields during the Iraq Iran war. Then again maybe a major screw up.I wasn’t there. Thank God.
So when is General Liz Cheney suiting up for the Big Win against Iran?
I should have put a bet on this. Predicted it on a thread a few days ago. Still the odds would be low
Ralph Hallow. Haven’t heard from him in ages.
“Trump is the only President in my lifetime that has truly sought to avoid war.”
Were you born after 1988 - after Reagan was president?
