Trump's decision to strike Iran's nuclear facilities was more than 40 years in the making and represents a generational failure of leadership of historic proportions. Each president in turn—beginning with George H. W. Bush, through Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, the first Trump administration, and Joe Biden—acknowledged the Iranian threat of a nuclear weapon but refused to act on it.

They were too smart to act on it, given that Iran was nowhere near being able to produce a nuke. What happened to America First? Did Netanyahu shake his car keys in front of the President?

Trump’s action does not “represent” failure.
Trump’s action “corrects” failure.

I’m so glad they did it.

It was definitely the right decision.

It’s time to stop the genocidal maniacs from driving global decision making.

So lets wait until one of our cities is obliterated for these idiots to open their stupid mouths and say we should have done something to prevent it. Trumps actions correct the failure and treasonous acts by prior administration to allow this

"Anyone who doesn't think Iran was on the cusp of building a nuclear weapon has been asleep for forty years."

Or, as in the case of the Deep Staters, complicit in giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.

And the AG will not lift a finger to bring charges against these traitors.

The only failure was Carter doing nothing to prevent radical Islam from being a problem for all future generations.

When a country says death to Israel and America for 46 years, you don’t ignore them.

Gone are the days of waves of bombers over Germany, Vietnam, and Iraq. 6 B-2 bombers dropped 360,000 pounds of ordinance with deadly accuracy on 1 Iraqi facility and nobody could see them on radar. This is payback for 46 years of aggression against the U.S. starting with the embassy in Iran in 1979.

Paybacks a bitch baby.

Some Iranian liar is on now saying their facilities were peaceful nuclear plants and that Iran never wanted nuclear weapons.

Well, first they said there were no nuclear fuel production facilities. Then they said yes there were, but only because they wanted to build nuclear power plants. Imagine, a country swimming in oil needing more energy. Iranians have been doing nothing but lying ever since the Ayatollahs took over.

Trump is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

It’s not about what’s best for the country, but that Trump did it. If Trump said the sun rises in the east, they’d argue with him over it.

Oh, can you imagine the leftist caterwauling had W bombed Iran’s nuke sites, and then handed the reins to Obama?

I think you need to reread the article. You will find further down that the author is supporting the decision. He’s saying that the necessity of Trump’s decision is the result of the failure of the previous generations of presidents.
