I think Iran did this to save face..they knew that our military bases would be heavily protected..so they can say “Well we got our retaliation”

The mullahs just made it clear, via their threat, that the next response from the U.S. must be total.

Will the democrats now side with the president and the United States or take sides with an enemy attacking US forces? My bet is they keep on blaming Trump and will side with Iran and call Trump a war criminal and keep on trying to impeach him. They’re worthless bastards.

Yes, they can take the bodies of those killed in the funeral stampede and claim they were casualties of a US attack.

I think the US will cover the response like when Saddam shot skuds at Israel.

Exactly. And we’re big boys we can let it go at that.

Unless they killed or seriously hurt an American, in which case we’ll have to teach them a big lesson.

I always wondered why Westerners would flock to Dubai. Too close to all the trouble.

THEY DONT!!!

Trust one psychopath to know another.

I NEVER believed I was in trouble even when I was in a LOT of trouble.

We’re psychopaths!

We don’t see reality. We don’t see the consequences.

Only I grew up

Iran and most of the middle east never did.

And now they will die

President Trump should appoint a Special Counsel in order to verify if there are any American connections to the DNC

We dont have US bases in Iraq, we have personnel in their bases.

And the Iranians chose not to attack Balad.

Isn’t the UAE Shiite, just like the Iranians? They’re really going to attack their “brothers?” Of course, I suppose the mullahs view them as apostates because of their modern lifestyle.

"Iranians must have gotten the go ahead from the Democrats"

And O'b's pallets of our cash paid for the missles being launched at our troops.

What part of "they (Iran) attacked our embassy" do people not understand?

Not surprising that they came at us again.

They would have hit us anyway, whether or not we took out their guy, AFTER they attacked us the first time.

What we need to know is which traitorous democrats are behind this?
