“It would take extraordinary restraint to hold back at this point.”
We don’t have that kind of restraint.
And we don’t want to know anybody that does.
Not enough information yet, but that’s my thinking too, that it is intended by the Iranians to be symbolic. They want to be able to show the masses that they are retaliating for the Soleimani hit, but in a way that doesn’t provoke too much of a response from us. Trump can be unpredictable though, and it’s a really bad idea to test him. The Ayatollah must be feeling an incredible amount of pressure to do something, because he has to know that this could turn out really badly for him.
Well apparently Iran has a death wish. Praying for our troops!
“The mullahs are watching from a bunker in Tehran deep underground.”
We can go far deeper than has been advertised.
Count on it.
B52’s fire lots of cruise missiles now...
No doubt the media/Democrats are cheering them on. Anything to hurt Trump.
Heh.. What ever became of Rusty Humphries?
Good points. Iran has to say they did something without having Hell rain down on them. Between Iraq and a hard place they are.
Heh.
Pelosi and the DEMs want to play commander in chief. What are their orders?
They were saying Sponge Bob was our hero. Are they not expecting a real hefty response?
Doesn't matter...I don't believe Trump will try to play defense...You can bet Trump already has some seriously strategic sites targeted...He likely doesn't care about the Toyota crews...He wants their bosses...And their bosses bosses...
And I'm turning down any offer of promotion to general...(over heard conversation from some Iranian military guy)
Fox is running video from FARS. I believe that is the official news agency of Iran.
No doubt whatsoever.
It Begins
Well actually its been going on since I was a senior in high school. But no one had posted It Begins on the thread yet.
Yes. That was my response to a Rods From God post.
They are real and they are SPECTACULAR.
Yet to be verified.
The Tweet President Trump sent out a few days ago indicated that he did not care if it was Iran directly or terrorist they sponsored, they, Iran would be the one to pay the price.
So the only thing that needs to be verified is is our bases have been hit...
“Remember, casualties isn’t deaths.”
At this point, what difference does it make?
