Let President Trump retaliate for the admitted 80 American deaths caused by Iran, whether it happened or not.

If President Trump were a brilliant strategist, he would take this opportunity to level EVERY nuclear development site in Iran,all sites converting uranium into plutonium including their ballistic missile manufacturing and testing facilities.

This is the time to remove Iran’s nuclear development program for good, regardless of the feckless puling of the Democrat Donkeys who care more about their own preservation of power than they do the safety of the world and America from Islamofascist nuclear bombs.

The Democrats now demonstrate to the People just how ba$tardly they truly are. This adds another wave of support for the President, as the Dems continue to wallow in their appeasement policies of the community organizer former president of dirty name.

President Trump has Lead US-Iran policy from appeasement to deterrence. He must take one more step: The Interdiction of Irans Nuclear Capability Development.

NOW!

There will be no better time nor opportunity.

"There are murmurings of Mossadegh"

Another foreign policy blunder involving US intelligence agencies, along with MI6. That one has cost many lives since. The Dulles brothers blundered 'bigly'. Allen Dulles also helped give us the Bay of Pigs, and was on the Warren Commission.

Isn’t Solieman Iran’s go to terrorist responsible for exacting revenge on the Great Satan when the US takes action against Iran’s terrorism? Where was he during the attack show last night? Oh, that’s right, he was incapacitated at that moment. The only person as releived as Trump that little damage occurred during the attack was the Ayotollah who produced this piece of theater for the benefit of the folks at the terror mosque back home and was fearful of what would happen to his operation if it was perceived as anything more than an empty gesture, much like the show put on by a dog wagging former impeached president of the Great Satan. Unlike Clinton, Trump has no dog to wag during his impeachment because for him killing Soliemani was a mere distraction from his enjoyable view of the Democrats flagellating themselves like Shia religious fanatics with the impeachment play they hung around their necks like an albatross and couldm’t figure out what to do with when they started choking from it.

That would be a mistake - escalating it when the regime in Iran is crumbling.

Let them get their hollow “win” - and the people will soon realize that it was hollow and that the Emperor has no clothes. Then starts the movement to throw out the clerics.

This may very well turn out to be a Ceaucescu moment

Far more likely a Saudi or Saudi sponsored terrorist would do so

Sayfullo Habibullaevich Saipov, was a Sunni - of the Saudi Wahhabbi sect

Abdul Razak Ali Artan another Sunni Wahabbi

Ditto Ahmad Khan Rahimi , Dahir A. Adan e5tc. etc — all the attacks on American soil have been carried out by Saudi inspired Sunnis

The Shia are dangerous, but the Sunnis are worse - a pox on both their houses.

” level EVERY nuclear development site in Iran,all sites converting uranium into plutonium including their ballistic missile manufacturing and testing facilities.”

THAT would make sense.

Since this is fake news, I wonder how many died as the Dems raced to the cameras and microphones to denounce Trump?

Interesting some folks were evacuated prior to the attacks...did we already know about this and the rag-heads couldn’t call it off w/o being caught with their pants even further down and close to their ankles?

>>>Right now the Ayatollahs have done a wonderful job of making Iranians hate Islam. The mosques are empty, people are taking to nationalism (and to be fair, with 2500 years of history - or 4000 if you count the Elamites, the Iranians have a deep hsitory) and many are converting to Christianity or secretly to Zoroastrianism, and many more are athiests.

Agree & well said. Makes one wonder what makes believers adhere to the koranic battle plan against non-believers. As an imaginary scenario, IF Islam was to have world domination the next purity battle would be eliminate all sects within Islam. Additionally, since muslims are largely superstitious of events are the earthquakes in Iran, allah’s will?

This is good news! In effect, they want the domestic image of a tough response without really haveing to deal with the actual outcome of one.

“Well, if they say they killed 80 Americans, then we should take them at their word.”

I postulate that any time a casualty number ends in ‘0’ the person reporting that figure is probably talking out of his/her @ss.

This is the mullah version of “the Vietnam Body-Count”.

It's Iran's turn ...

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

I think they learned from Obama - detonate ordnance in an empty desert and declare victory. :)

80?

Sounds like we owe them 80 favors then.

Let’s get to it.
