We should not have troops in the ME. But we do, and they were attacked. Attacks demand a response Everything is backwards. No win wars.

Expect the Iranian retaliation this weekend. How many more American boys to be sacrificed on neocon altar?

Iran kills Amercian soldiers.
And we should not respond because it could disappoint Iran?
Is that what you are insinuating?

What I’m insinuating is the idiots in the Pentagon got three American boys killed by sticking them in these illegal bases that have NO military value to the U.S. They can’t be protected and should have been closed when Trump ordered them closed. I’m insinuating the traitors and dipshit$ in the WH and Pentagon stumbled into the crapper up to their eyeballs. I’m insinuating these morons finally figured out they were about to start an unwinnable war. I’m insinuating they blew up a bunch of non Iranian sand as red meat for their neocon stooges. I’m insinuating the gang in DC will continue bumbling around in the area until they get a bunch more American boys killed and injured.

“What I’m insinuating is the idiots in the Pentagon got three American boys killed by sticking them in these illegal bases...”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The thing is the base you are talking about is definitely NOT illegal. It has the blessing of the Jordan Government, which is our ally in the region. That base was used by Trump in his war against ISIS. Trump never, ever, demanded this US base (Tower 22) to be dismantled.

Only Biden dismantle bases, just like he did in Afghanistan.
Trump always wanted to keep some bases in Afghanistan.

So you seem to insinuate, that America should humiliate itself once again by doing another Biden trick and dismantle Tower 22 in Jordan and all other US bases in the area??
Your idea would make Trump crazy mad.

I didn’t know that. I know it shouldn’t matter but for some reason that makes it even worse for me. It’s just terrible.

They can hide behind pallets with tall piles of American cash. Nice and cozy back there.

You are making the mistake of thinking these are reasonable people. Read the Quran.

In this case the “no military value” statement shows, I’m sorry, some ignorance too.

Tower 22 and the bases near it sit almost on a road that would, left “unattended”, be a major logistics route for Hezbollah. It is almost surely a factor in whether Hezbollah decides to harass Israel, or attack full throat. The latter choice can go 2 ways: Israel is battered badly by Hamas’ ~120k rockets and other arms, plus strong logistics, bringing the US in with massive intervention (but without those bases), or, without said intervention, Israel fires off some nukes.

President Trump wouldn’t talk about it. He would either di it or not. And if he did it it wouldn’t be small.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Trump would use 50 super bunker busters, GBU-57A/B MOP,to utterly destroy Irans Uranium Enrichment sites. There would be nothing left but rubble and camel shit.


And that would save the World from the curse of these Iranian Isamofascist World WIde caliphate morons who want to enslave all Muslims and we kaffirs.

WTF is all of this bed wetting and hand wringing?

Biden has missed a golden opportunity.

And what could Iran do.......refuse to honor John Kerry's daughters marriage voews to an Iranian?

Iran could do squat about it.

The more they push a war, the more it should prove to their kids and grandchildren they don’t love them.

Their goal is not to win the war, but endless war.

Well, THAT was definitely not an empty warehouse.

80+ or 100+ strikes like that and we may make a little progress.
