Partisan hypocrisy and ignorance reign supreme, as usual

If Obama had ordered the strike last night, the vast majority of the people bashing Trump (it took CNN about 20 minutes to turn the story into a "TRUMP IS RECKLESS" angle, as usual) would be saying "I'm sure he had info that forced him to make that decision", including the majority of the anti-Obama people. Sadly, because its Trump, NOTHING he does is looked at as anything but, "It was a bad decision". Sad. And boring, at this point.

Agreed, but I do think there is an isolationist faction of Trump supporters who don't like neocon meddling and are put off by moves like this. We'll see where it goes. It's possible the Bolton gang got to Trump.

What's funny, is that the same people angry that Trump killed a terrorist leader, are the same people that went silent when Obama dropped a bomb on an American citizen.

I'm sure if Obama did this, most of this board would be melting down too.

I caught a clip of Anderson Cooper complimenting the kill and covered the Americans killed by the POS

Not earth shattering but many familiar with our history with Iran aren't exactly crying over this

You know, if this was just an unprovoked strike, then sure. I wouldn't be for it. But, i have no problem with retaliating against a regime who was trying to kill American embassy workers. That's not getting involved in a war, that's protecting Americans abroad by any means necessary.

I'm as anti-war as they come. I want no part of nation building.

But you frick with our embassies and try to kill our soldiers and you deserve a hellfire up your arse. Now it's on Iran, if they wish to frick with us further, so be it. Speak softly, carry a big stick and all that.

And the same people who are lauding this action would be condemning it if Obama made the decision.

Why pretend that isn't true?

Quit acting like this was an out of nowhere attack. The embassy was under siege and it appears there was more than enough proof the Iranians were behind it.

Why were 4 top Iranian military commanders in Iraq? At the same time as an orchestrated attack on the embassy.

Trump didn't start anything. He responded to an attack on Americans in Iraq. Simple as that.

I suppose you would have preferred another Benghazi. I guess mutilated ambassadors is more your speed.

Maybe some idiots would. I for one would applaud Obama for this. I applauded him for a few things he did in office and Osama was one of them. This POS has deserved death since 2005.

You mean, like when Bin Laden was killed? Don't recall any of us who were not fans of Obama, condemning Obama for giving the go ahead to get Bin Laden.

Because it isn't true. If Americans are under attack in our embassy and Obama had defended them, I would have cheered that one action.

And...Obama didn't attack. He came up with a lame excuse video bullshite even though our ambassador was mutilated. So frick off.

If this board is any indication, they must be a very silent group of people.

How many Trump supporters were congratulating Obama for throwing the Benghazi victims under the Bus. Is the Film producer still in prison?
You clowns are never serious or consistent.

Tell me where i'm wrong. (Hint: You won't, then you'd have to state where you stand on any subject matter, and you are afraid)
