Just like when a cartel leader gets taken out. Just management changes.
“ Do goats have periods?”. LOL. I’m pretty sure they don’t.
Yes. Now is the time for maximum pressure on Iran.
But how much does it cost us to keep extra troops in the region?
Those guys have to come home soon. Unless the Dem House is willing to pay. Which they aren’t.
Candygram for Mookie!
It was reported that the "missed target" was in Yemen, and was another senior Iranian Military Officer. There was also a strike yesterday in Syria that killed a bunch of Iran backed militia leadership. Sounds like we are letting them know that fueling insurgencies that threaten the USA and our friends is gonna have higher a price going forward.
Bounty on the Mutiny
If I were an Iranian military leader, I would hope I had proof that I hadn’t been responsible for tipping off the US.
Good points...Pressure can come in many forms...economic duress for one.
In Iraq?
Good Lord, that's all we need.
We have troops and diplomats there. Who knows who would come out on top
And yes, we have announced a tax on this type of behavior :-)
Careful, it’s a “earworm” tune...

It’s moments such as this that cause me to always carry a snack size bag of “real” bacon bits in my pocket.
If the communists manage to win in 2020, these "unknown" assailants will definitely be charged with murder...
Since most of the obunghole warriors are still throughout the pentagon, you can rest assured that somewhere, someone is already writing it up... Just in case enough Americans stay at home and do not vote, thereby allowing the communists to eke out a victory...
A perfumed Trudeau demands accountability.
Trump walks over and takes it.
Just settling all the family business before that move to Vegas...
Next!
So look who is the hunted
I remember in 1979, that the Revolutionary Guards put roses in their gun barrels and refused to shoot and protect the Shah.
Bush was subject to the Dem congress in his Iraq war.
Trump ain’t letting that happen to him.
Let’s wait and see if the weenie squish Rand Paul gets upset.
