Meanwhile, House Minority Head Fluffer has confirmed this is an impeachment distraction, and the Pentagon is saying contrary to the IMPOTUS' claim, there was no imminent threat prior to the Trumptantrum.

Who says he hasn't. As long as we don't put conventional boots on the ground in Iran and stick to bombs, we're good. Stocks might suffer a bit, but they'll rebound. Get used to $4-5/gal gas though.

There is no war that is "good". :tothehand:
Wholeheartedly agree. Some are necessary.

Hmmm - no missiles were being fired until Trump did. Should any country not be able to defend themselves?

What was the point of the killing? No, not mourning him, but when you take this extra-ordinary step, there has to be a plan and an endgame.

How is it Trump's fault? Iran attacked us, killing an American citizen, so we responded in kind, killing the General responsible for it. All square.

Now they're attacking American troops.

We're completely justified in leveling them now. It's all their fault.

Just saw some of the first video on CNN. Definitely looks and sounds like ballistic missiles.

I'd go ahead and roll through the list of 52. TIme to make a statement that we won't tolerate attacks on Americans without a ten-fold response.

So we should have bombed Saudi Arabia as well. North Korea when they killed Otto Wambler. Russia as well.

When was the last time they took Americans hostage from or attacked our Embassy. Twice.

That’s a good point.

I’m going to referee this match.

Seriously? You're going to defend Iran too?

Wow.

North Korea has taken Americans hostage. Saudi attacked our soil.

Of course, Saudi Arabia now OWNS our embassies, so there is that.

It really depends on casualties. If Americans died tonight, he will strike back.

If not, the Iranians look really dumb. How could you fire over a dozen ballistic missiles and not kill an American?

We'll know more when we know more. Right now it's hard to speculate how Trump will respond.

He's done everything right so far.

Well, the word is Iran can cause a real quagmire situation for us with all its proxies and such. Kind of surprised they'd be that up front but on the other hand, as far as I can tell, they've historically been willing to take a lot of punishment.

I was one that argued that we could've won Vietnam if we'd been ruthless enough. I guess my theory might be about to be put to the test. Might about to be a whole lot of guerrilla warfare going on.

So...I guess there are differences people like Cid can talk about. But I wonder about us getting into something like this when we haven't been able to subdue the Taliban. I mean, I don't know, but my gut feeling is that this is going to be a lot tougher than the Taliban.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

So when did they attack our embassies again? If you addressed that, I missed it.

US bases have been under rocket attacks for weeks now- from Iran supplied militias in Iraq. The only difference now is that these are coming from within Iran itself. But to suggest missile weren’t being fired before now is not accurate.
