From what I have seen over the last 50 years, Israel must have a policy of always retaliating.
I wish the U.S. did. We owe Iran big time.
Yes! You sound like me. We will collect on that debt one day, I’m sure.
The days of handling Iran with kid gloves is over!
GWB got us into Afghanistan and our finest cleaned the clocks of the Taliban in a relatively few months. That would have been a great time to leave. The only reason to stick around would be to liquidate the tribes that hosted the Taliban hideouts, then leave.
Taking care of Saddam took a very short time indeed. After he was turned over to the fat mullah for hanging, we should have been showing them taillights, but helping the Kurds carve out an independent state as the price for our withdrawal.
When the Iranians destabilized Yemen, we should have wiped their Houthi allies off the face of the Earth, no cameras, no embedded root weevils, get it done and get out. Then obliterate the Iranian presence throughout the Horn.
Sometime in the past day or so someone referred to GWB as the smirking chimp -- I find that a perfect description. I guess my views have evolved.
“We owe Iran big time.”
Blowing up Suleimani was long overdue - but deeply satisfying nonetheless.
