I have talked to Iranians who left Iran when the shah was disposed and they HATE the islamists with a passion.

I knew a bunch of Iranians, who were going to pilot training in Del Rio, by golly Texas. The USAF pulled them out of pilot training in 1979. The ones I talked to, were not happy going back, but it was at Laughlin, that I figured out, that the Iranian Air Force would be no match for US and Israeli pilots. Those guys could not fly airplanes, to save their lives.

I suspect that the US has a coordinated campaign plan for Iranian regime change, including Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Withdrawing from the the Iran deal opened the door to overt and covert action against that regime - D-Day.

(D+1) Israeli missiles strike Iranian Republican Guards and Iranian surrogates in Syria, within hours.

What are Mossad, CIA, the Saudis and others doing? My guess is that more is going on, that is less visible, and that more visible actions are coming in phases.

Time to sell any stock in the existing regime, their days are numbered (D+x).

It’s a case of Israel and its neighbors taking out the trash and cleaning up the neighborhood.

>>Overwhelming destructive retaliation to terrorism is the best response. The terrorist is a suicide bomber? Bulldoze his family’s house.<<

I feel sure that the IDF response was given the nod by President Trump, and will be seen by Iran and NOKO as an indication of just how devastating it can be to mess with America and its allies.

>>Israel is speaking the only language terrorists understand.<<

Exactly right. Once identified, they must be annihilated as quickly as possible. Captives should be subjected to enhanced interrogation and then executed.

WRONG. Any country can be beat with the successful use of nuclear weapons, even the USA.

No question about it, and a perfect example is how black Americans have suffered for the crimes of their leaders in the Democrat Party!

Yes, I agree. Only if it’s the Lord’s will for them to prevail will they prevail, and I think it is.

The Iranian forces likely fired everything they had operational after the previous Israel strike. Or they fired 20 to see how many would get through, so they could calculate how many of the thousands they have to fire to achieve their aims.

From the article:
Four of the 20 rockets were on target, he added, but were then intercepted, while the rest fell short. Israel responded by hitting 70 Iran-linked sites in Syria ...

If we get rain,” one Israeli official told CBS’ Seth Doane, “they’ll get a flood.”

On European ‘leadership’:
“And I can only call on all sides to exercise restraint here,” Merkel added.

srael launched a wide-ranging military strike on Iranian assets in Syria. It might have looked proportional at first, but it has now become apparent that Israel has decided to reduce Iran’s ability to operate effectively in Syria at all...
Since the attack by Iran was unprovoked, Israel's response was proportional. If anything, Israel was too easy on them. Thanks rktman.
