Toll from Tehran’s terrorism and proxy attacks are a serious factors in Trump’s decision on whether to support or even join the Israeli war effort.
Three years after 19 Americans died in a bombing at a Saudi Arabian apartment complex, then-President Bill Clinton sent a cable that told Iran’s president a secret that the 42nd president wasn’t even willing to tell the American public: U.S. intelligence had ample evidence that Tehran was behind the deadly Khobar Towers terror attack.
“Message to President Khatami from President Clinton: The United States Government has received credible evidence that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, (IRGC) along with members of Lebanese and Saudi Hizballah, were directly involved in the planning and execution of the terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia of the Khobar Towers military resident complex,” the 1999 cable declared.
“The United States views this in the gravest terms,” the cable continued. “We acknowledge that the bombing occurred prior to your election. Those responsible, however, have yet to face justice for this crime. And the IRGC may be involved in planning for further terrorist attacks against American citizens. The involvement of the IRGC in terrorist activity and planning abroad remains a cause of deep concern to us.”

I guess he told them, huh?
“a cause of deep concern”
Clinton. Trash personified. Thank you Ross Perot, you moron, for getting Toilet Bowl Bill elected to potus.
George Bush lost that election all on his own.
Slick Willy was hoping Iran would send him a hot Persian broad to give him a BJ
I shall respond with a sternly written letter!
Sickening. Just as sickening as shaking hands with an ISIS leader, installing him to lead Syria, and removing all sanctions against him.
DC is trash... has been for decades.
I smile that DJT is making ALL of the living former presidents look like the biggest wussies on the planet.
I just pray that he’s not already waited too long to act...
I worked with an ex MC130 loadmaster. He went to sleep in the Khobar towers one night and woke up outside on the ground with an injured back. Didn’t hear the bomb explode, just woke with rubble all around and in pain. Air Force gave him a disability discharge. He knew it was Iran that was our #1 problem.
Yeah, Iran...pretty much the single reason the “Wounded Warrior Project” was/is needed.

We (PDJT) got some payback with several Hellfires up Soleimani’s rear in 2020, but some more is in order.

“ I shall respond with a sternly written letter!”
Literally did.
They covered up way more than just Khobar Towers.
Indeed: Khobar Towers, I almost forgot.
“George Bush lost that election all on his own.”
Without Perot, Bush would have won. Perot was a breath of fresh air who told the truth and the people were responding until Perot had to take a break, some say due to very credible threats to his life.
Regardless, Bush, the former CIA chief, had his man in Clinton. So it was a win win.
I don’t agree. I recall the debates in 1992, and it was all 2 on 1. Bush was getting smacked from 2 directions at once.
And then Bush looked at his watch. It was a very low-energy campaign on his part.
And although I disagreed with everything Clinton stands for, he dominated those debates.
I usually agree with you, but Perot worked for Clinton twice ... Both 92 and 96 ...
