Obama is on the wrong side. With an evil agenda. I don’t have an agenda. Never have. Avoiding global war at all costs, is that an agenda. Then maybe I do have one.
The guy masterminded Benghazi.
Where innocent people died, and the highest officials in the US fired on the spot, US generals who set out to rescue them.
And Rice lied through her foul teeth that it was a YouTube Video.
Weakness invites aggression. Precise applications of extreme violence can put a troublemaking bully in his place. Anyway, there is an infinite spectrum of military action between doing nothing like a coward and total war. This seems much closer to the low-intensity side.
Level-headedness like that is what is needed to defend America.
Inciting the enemies of America into war against us, with blustering, is not what is needed.
I am convinced that there is a direct line between Pelosi/Schiff/Schumer & John Kerry-—and that Kerry has a direct line to IRAN’S leader.
All of them need to be tried & convicted for treason.
Are you calling me a idiot?
Iran attacked the US ages ago. long before even Dubya took office. Like I said, same crew.
I see Suleimani's death, as long overdue payback for the Carter years.
Your question to me, seemed to be asking, whether Trump was 'within his rights' to hit back should Iran seek revenge for last night's BBQ.
Why on earth did you ask *me* that question, when replying to post #1?
And do you really think I am pushing a policy of isolationism ?
Let’s hear from the President:

Iran has been at war with us for 40 years.
” We should send them all back to living like the Bedouin they are.”
Persians are not Bedouins. They were civilized when my ancestors (Yours too, if you are of English ancestry) were wearing woad as armor. A Persian king returned the Jews to Israel, and helped them rebuild the temple. They’ve fallen on harder times since the Muslim conquest of 651AD.
At one time, in the West, Persia was the definition of civilized. If they can throw off the Mullahs, maybe they can get that back. I’ve known a lot of Persians, over the years, and most of them are decent people. They just have a really crappy government, and Jimmy Carter has a lot to do with that.
I’m perfectly OK with wishing hellfire (or Hellfires) and damnation on their government, but not on the people of Iran/Persia.
“Attacking an embassy is an overt act of war. Everything is on the table.”
Yep, up to and including turning Tehran into a glass parking lot. Though I don’t think we should start there. There are several building in Tehran that could use a daisy cutter or two, or the odd MOAB, however. Like the Supreme Council’s meeting place, among others.
Avoiding global war at all costs, is that an agenda. Then maybe I do have one.
At all costs? Including your soul? Sometimes, to fight evil, you actually have to fight. Sometimes you can just vote for someone who will.
Luke 22:365 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
At all costs = exhausting all efforts
I know what it takes to fight evil. Been fighting it pretty much all my life.
