I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This could easily have been prevented by not sending them there in the first place.

It’s clear the Iranian Islamists have no intention to talk peace. Even then, they would still be in power, oppressing their people, continuing hostilities, funding their surrogates, and waiting for the next corrupt, weak Democrat to be elected here.
Take them out now, and quickly.

Iran is signaling again and again, that it clearly doesn’t want to hear anything about any kind of cease-fire or peace deals. Thus, they act exactly like the Russians, no wonder they remain close allies.

I sure hope the Presidents response is to end this right now now today and don’t try to baffle me with BS about a ‘deal’ ever again.

Enough. Punish them ‘til they squeal, and then punish them more until they totally surrender to the Iranian people.

It’s that stuff that is going to open the door for the communists to take control.

And the Insanians are “begging for a deal”.
Funny way to negotiate for peace.
Is Trump ever going to quit ‘effing around and end this with extreme prejudice?
