>>> 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.

Yes. It does.

They shot missiles from Iran to American military bases.

Thank you for your learned detailed opinion about my post 730. I would add, your post does nothing to indicate i am factually incorrect or there is some illogic in my opinion.

I am immersed by y the way you label my philosophy from one post. Amazing. A regular sherlock holmes. Perhaps you would post a glossary of categories of posters so I can aspire to rise to your level,

Now we’re done. I’ve seen a hundred wannabes like you.

Oddly enough, that is exactly what Trump was thinking when he gave permission to take out Soleimani for starting yet another terror campaign.

The Iranian government is just like our Democrats. They accuse others of what they are doing, and go insane when anyone fights back.

I’m praying that God’s will be done. Of course, that could mean that God agrees that these Muslim maggots in charge of Iran need to be destroyed.

Brian Suits KFI radio military/terroriim analyst thinks Trump could fire on an island in the persian gulf and then both sides will have their “honor retaliation.”

“I don’t buy the ‘saving face’ attack spin that people are twisting and turning about on the news. If the Iranians were actually worried about the results of killing an American, would they have risked such a strike at all? No. They missed, had crappy guidance, or we successfully jammed them and had adequate warning to get our guys under cover. The mullah sand the talking heads can spin this all they want, but they are the criminal that took the shot and missed, but still have the gun. It’s time to shoot to kill.”

Agreed. It’s not about how successful the strike was, but their intent. They targeted bases where U.S. military personnel are stationed. It’s not like they just lobbed a few missiles into the open desert of Southern Iraq. Our response should be based on intent, and how serious the attack potentially could have been.

They were not American military bases.. we don’t have American military bases in Iraq. We do have people stationed at their bases but nobody was hurt and I think Iran intended that. Remember Trump made it very clear if a single American was hurt we would have a disproportionate response.

I haven’t seen any reports of US anti missiles systems intercepting... odd

That was my question all along. We put a missile shield over Israel, but nothing over our troupes in Iraq with Iranian ICBMs right next store? That does not compute!

No. WE don’t all have skin in the game. By your response, I’m guessing you don’t.
Have you ever?

It seems unlikely that they accidentally missed. They can hit 17 different targets at the Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia with pinpoint accuracy.

Unless were just saying that their cruise missiles are vastly superior to whatever they used here.
