El Shabab in Kenya killed an American soldier and 2 DOD contractors, 2 others have been injured. Some planes destroyed. It was a suicide car bomber.
The count begins, none of this needed to happen. This blood is on his head.

Don’t you want to be consistent and consider this a stain on Trump? And feel free to explain how ANY of this would’ve led to a Pearl Harbor or 9/11 replay. |

In 1941 we had a leader who saw the enemy- Japan- and marshalled the American people to vanquish it. In 2001 we had a somewhat intellectually challenged President in charge who attacked the wrong country (Iraq) and lost all focus on the man most responsible. Our presence in the region became entrenched and a quagmire. In 2019 we have a man at the helm, most unfortunately, who is positively off his rocker. Even worse, he is surrounded by patsies, pansies and sycophants who fawn over him and tell him he can do no wrong. And then those who manage and manipulate him into acting on their priorities and beliefs.... |

Sycophants- those who are overly nice to someone and suck up to him to manipulate him to their own ends. To be honest- I didn't realize that the definition of sycophant included manipulation to act on their desires before I looked it up to be sure I spelled it right. I was quite pleased with myself for learning that.  But still wondering why you tagged me |

I don't know who you are referring to, the OP, me, someone else? Let me clue you in to something that apparently escapes many of Trump's minions though: Finding fault with trump's methods of setting the world on fire does not at ALL imply agreement or admiration for the targets of some of his actions. In implying that you are making the most simplistic and ignorant of arguments. I know they make you feel good about denigrating those liberal edicated bi-coastal fools, but they are very silly arguments. They do not make you look smaht. You certainly don't expect better at this point, do you? |

The point is as I have been led to believe...the agreement with Iran that Obama ok'd was to stop the development of a nuclear weapon by Iran...Seems the treaty did that for at least a ten year period ...after that...  …...but who knows what regime in that time period would be like...Israel still wasn't happy but it seems we and the EU were ok with that...and unless there is a regime change, Israel is never going to be happy. Granted, Iran was still involved in stirring things up in other parts of the world, treaty had nothing to do with those actions...though they could have been negotiated with threats of new sanctions if needed.... By going alone in doing away with the signed treaty, over the objections of our allies..unilaterly, it was the Donald who opened up pandoras box and started the latest war with Iran. Any of his advisors who would give honest answers to problems the country faced militarily......those military Generals he praised when appointed , they are all gone now...by choice or otherwise...He is surrounded by those to afraid to suggest anything but approval of his decisions...put there by the Donald...what he wants. We are in deep doo doo ….if no change in 2020....then we are in the deepest doo doo...probably never able to get out from under it....IMHO. The man is a walking time bomb...just inches away from going off...yet his party stays quiet or afraid to make decisions that are so readily apparent...they are guilty and possible should disappear and a new conservative party emerge.... Yes, I believe there needs to be political parties with different viewpoints...but still with the countries interests as their main reason for being..not selfish self interests as the GOP is now. If Dems were similar today...with a heavy heart I would clamor for their disappearance and replacement. |

I'm watching Fox News this morning and Rand Paul just ripped Trump's actions, starting with revoking the deal through killing the guy. I've never listened to anything Rand Paul has said before. Has he always criticized Trump's Iran strategy? I guess he isn't as much of a yes-man as I assumed. My bad.

I encourage you to wait until there is an actual vote on something concerning Iran before making that call on Paul. He has been known to fall in line after being critical before. |

So when is Iran going to declare war?? Iran has a problem,, It need to act to keep from losing face to their "friends",, Yet they can not go over board with their response.

So when was the Iranian war declared?? Probably when they took over the Embassy and held the 44 Americans for over a year, till Carter was out of office... Then again, on second thought, probably when Dulles had the CiA get involved in replacing the elected Iranian PM at the bequest of the Brits...as he , the PM, came out with Nationalizing their oil Industry which was BP {British Petroleum} with the Sha...who had little in common with the Iranians...was from no noble family but promised not to naturalize the oil.. He was in power for a number of years, friendly with us and the West, Israel too...attempted to westernize the country which was not what religious leaders of Iran wanted....also to control the country...put in a brutal secret police...real vicious...so when Ayatollah came into the country from France where he had seeked Asylum, but kept up contacts with Iranians by taped and written records, ...Sha easily overthrown...and when he fled to US for asylum...was suffering from Cancer...US would not return him....he ended up in Egypt where he dies...buried there too I believe..probably thats when the war started...innocent we were not with the CIA manipulated overthrow of the elected PM... |
