It must be hard to run a news paper knowing that all of your readers will cancel their subscriptions the moment you accidentally forget to write a negative headline against the President.

By the way, don't even bother clicking on the article. The headline already tells you everything you want to know.

When it comes to Iran’s nasty habit of attacking our embassies throughout the years, Trump provided a Pavlovian teaching moment for the Ayatollah.. Now instead of receiving a Democrat cash treat when they do so, they get beat with a hellfire stick.The only person as relieved as Trump that little damage occurred during the attack was the Ayatollah who produced this piece of theater for the benefit of his homeys at the terror mosque back home. He had to be fearful of what would happen to his operation if they actually caused casualties. Whew!.

> Trump Backs Away From Further Military Conflict with Iran <

A fairer - and more neutral - headline would have been: “Trump Decides Against Further Military Conflict with Iran”.

But I guess the Times can’t even bring itself to do neutral reporting. Everything just has to have a slant to it.

Many comments on both sides of the political spectrum are quite premature — “Trump backed down” and “Iran lobbed some missiles to save face” etc.

It’s only been a few days since Soleimani was killed. I would not necessarily assume this is over. Certainly terrorists are known to take months and years to enact their revenge ... and Trump will do whatever he does in a time of his choosing.

Interesting take from this guy: Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec Iran just showed they aren’t ‘crazy’ like the neocons crowd preaches Their response to Soleimani was both measured and rational Huge opening for diplomacy now On America’s terms 11:03 AM · Jan 8, 2020· https://mobile.twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1214955695482789890

No surprise the lying scum media got it wrong again

The US can go to war anytime we like. Iran’s Leaders flinched last night, it worth taking some time to see where this might lead.

Contrary to lunatic notions of the Fake News, there is no need to rush to war here.

We’re back to the proxy wars with them- only without their (very competent) general.
Suleyboy dead at our hands and nothing more came of it.

Big win.
I wonder if Iran wanted a path out.

The message is clear: This was a golden opportunity for trump and he seized it. I believe this ends a 40 year policy that failed at every turn.

Thank you Mr. President. This is your greatest victory and your legacy to the People.

For the first time in 60 years we have a president that designed and lead a successful military mission in the Muslim World.

Carter failed with Iran and his ventures into Beirut

Clinton failed in his wars with Iraq.

Obama failed in his invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Today, under President Trump, we win in Iran and the entire region.

I was asking myself — what the heck? Iran launched 15 ballistic missiles and essentially hit NOTHING !

Either their AIM is so bad and they’re incompetent or they deliberately hit nothing.

If the former, then they’re worse than I thought ( but I don’t underestimate them since they were able to hit our drone when they wanted to ).

This “face-saving” measure is consistent with the reports we’ve been hearing that their own propaganda WITHIN Iran for their own people tells them that they killed dozens of our troops.

The years leading up to WWI were filled with intrigue and plotting as world leaders were looking for an advantage over their neighbors. Secret deals and secret mutual aid agreements were the norm as the leaders each sought an advantage.

The fact that the assassination of an obscure Duke that no one really like lead to the death of millions in the first world war and millions more twenty years later in the second world war is amazing in hindsight.

The world stumbled blindly into WWI because no one understood what the war would be like and they would lose “face” if they back down.

President Trump made a decision to stop and step back (and get control over the situation) and is allowing Iran to re-think their actions.

What does Iran gain by going to war with the US?

The title should be “Trump receives warning from Iran to evacuate troops from base, but also continues to increases sanctions.”

It’s true — Iran warned Iraq an hour ahead of the missile strike.
