Earlier there were reports of lots of air power heading to Iran. Has that been verified? Would it be typical to do that only to say “nevermind, they “only” killed Iraqis.”?

I was surprised that local news here in LA went to Beverly Hills(And of course Westwood) its where all the Persians live..and they were all thrilled that Soleimani was dead, of course they were concerned about going to war with Iran(No one wanted that) and they were worried about their family members still in Iran. Why did Carter want to get rid of the Shah so badly? It would be great if one day Iran could be a true democracy again, but I doubt that will ever happen..unless the Iranian people step up and say no more

Nancy is already blaming the President.

As a dyed in the wool hater of a strong America, she hates President Trump with every rotten fiber of her diseased body and mind.

I agree. And she loves to hear herself talk.

We’ll see if cool heads prevail. This doesn’t need to slide into a full blown war, which will nasty and long. Iran says it will stop if not hit. Both sides have stuck. Can they now step back and assess?

If we were massively going to respond, the President would have addressed the nation tonight.

Define "massively".

Then it will not stop. They will be hit.

Wars cost money. No blood no foul. Maybe Trump might go for talking. They know and we know we can destroy them utterly.
