If that’s true, then the bloodbath will start. Do you have a source?

Trish often wears Las Vegas showgirl dresses/shirts...and is overly dramatic. Really can’t watch most nights. Glad she was in high collared serious black outfit for this. Then Kennedy comes on in pink peekaboo dress! Geez! Switched to Hannity.

I heard a White House spokeswoman today say that Trump has always been open to talking to Iran.
I don’t think this necessarily changes that.

The Iranian people tried to free themselves with their 2009 green movement.. Obama double-crossed them.

Just imagine a scenario where Trump negotiates an actual and verifiable peace deal with Iran. The left would totally lose their minds.

The “Squawd”

Iranian violence countered by U.S. instead of worldwide diplomatic flatulence and appeasement!

The ISSiC aka Islamic Squat Squad in Congress is really ticked off again! Dems are #TeamIran.

Earlier before the attack the talks had no pre-conditions.
Don’t mind rational diplomacy, however, the US should insist that Iran pay for tonight’s damage on the Air Bases in exchange for the cost of man hours it took scoop off Soleimani’s remains from the road.

Jack Detsch must be in the dark, al Asad is not near Baghdad, Too many other reports that there were zero hits of consequence. But he claims CENTCOM. Is saying they all hit except four headed for Erbil. Sounds bogus, but we shall see. An hour until sunrise in Iraq

brian suits KFI radio military and terrorist analyst, this was an honor attack. 16 misses and rockets to let Iran show they have “retaliated.” if nothing more happens, Trump will sue for negotiations.

They fired short range ballistic missiles and couldn’t hit a military base. This is intentional and the Iranians are trying to save face. Smart move on their part.

The news coverage of this “attack” has been confusing and we likely will not know much more for many hours.

Trump may just patiently assess the situation for a day and formulate a response. He may unleash “operation total destruction” and take out 52 targets or go beyond with a multi-day air campaign. Your guess is as good as mine and I am sure the Pentagon has been working overtime to present him with various options.

A full-blown conflict with Iran has been inevitable for years. On the other hand, there is nothing that would have more positive impact in the Middle East than removing the Iranian Regime. They have been the worst actor in the region for decades.

I think the saner Iranians prevailed and we will see if the Revolutionary Guard is content with this response. Maybe. No one really knows.
