Col. Macgregor: US airstrikes look like an attempt to drag us into a war

I think Trump wants to do the right thing, but I wonder about the motivations of his military advisors.

Everyone has an axe to grind.

I don’t know this guy well, but he seems to think we don’t want to mix it up with Iran.

Folks, if we let Iran develop nuclear weapons and the missiles to launch them with, we will not be doing anyone any good.

Europe is too ‘adolescent’ to grasp what is going on with Iran, and the implications. Iran has already demonstrated a missile that can come close to the range needed for hitting Europe. What happens when they can mount nukes on them, and they have twenty of them ready to go?

The Iranian leadership is on a par with Kim in North Korea. They all seem to think they will not see death, and if they do they will be rewarded. Kim doesn’t care about a reward. I think he simply wants to be known as a bad ass.

It’s not easy to know what to do these day.

I note that after stating this group was a good group, now taking out ISIS, this guy had no answer when it was pointed out to him, that now they are against us too. He admitted that all those camps in Syria and Iraq were tied to the one problematic proxy Iranian group affiliated with the death of the contractor.

Moving on, he then tried to make it sound as if Bush holdovers were pushing Trump in the wrong direction, totally ignoring what had just been said. Trump had approved a strike against the right people for a justifiable cause.

Did anyone else catch that?

In these times, opinions are like a dime a dozen.

This guy did not impress me that he was on the level.

We are going to have to address Iran sooner or later, and it looks like many citizens in Iran would love to bring back a Western government.

If that were to be facilitated, Iran could easily give up the bomb. Go Western like the Shah did, and become a pretty decent entity in the region. It was under the Shah, until Jimmy Carter helped facilitate this Islamic state.

Right now it’s getting more and more bold. If we walk away and let it fester, it will become a major force for evil in the Middle East.

Every other nation in the region will be forced to develop nuclear weapons. Is anyone convinced that’s a good idea?
