100% accurate.

The stated goals should’ve been actually stated immediately upon the bombing campaign. This fake war will be DOA if Dems get back in power.

Not to mention the left will impeach everyone and their dog affiliated with Blumpf

Don’t be stupid. No, gasoline has not been this expensive for 20 years. Diesel in particular.

Trump got bold and thought he could go into Iran like he did Venezula, drop some bombs and they'd surrender.
perhaps, but going into VE first, to secure it's oil, could show that he knew Iran wasn't going to be the easiest move.

If he underestimated anything, it would be the American people being incapable of seeing past their noses at what is being done and and why. Just because they have to pay a little more at the gas tank. He's looking long-term, and Americans are not able to do that.

It's obvious your mind is made up with your opening sentence. This is just another poorly disguised bitch thread.

It's a few weeks until the midterms. The primaries are over. It's now republican vs democrat.

If you are still running around bitching and spreading more negative information about the administration than positive, there are only 2 logical reasons:

1. You want democrats to win
2. You don't understand what you are doing

It really is that simple.

Simple!
We are keeping the Military Industrial Complex financed.


George Washington's gang warned the new nation, "Beware of foreign wars"

After the most expensive war in our history, at that time, the Supreme Allied Commander, Dwight Eisenhower, stated, "The greatest threat to our FREEDOM is the Military Industrial Complex.
Since then We have been at war constantly .
Korea
Viet Nam
Iraq
Iran
Then there was the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
We get deeper and deeper in debt.

It's called being a realist. The most insane neocons wouldn't touch this conflict. I heard Robert Pape on a podcast say he has briefed generals about what an absurd undertaking it is and they pretty much just stayed silent and shook their heads.

There are a bunch of guys in the military/intel/academic spheres who were either supportive of Trump or at least neutral and optimistic when it came to foreign policy that are ripping him every day now about this. That's not political or propaganda, that's realism.

I do think they want to break up Iran (and Russia) and divide up the resources. But, if it doesn't work, you still win:

George Washington crossed the Delaware on a frigid night. The mushroom night that our adversary has in mind is a little longer. Obviously you don’t like Trumps plan to deal with this. I don’t recall a Democrat plan. Didn’t Obama try to bribe them with cash?

how did you survive 2008 jethrine? when it hit $4.12 a gallon in july, you must have still been on your mamma's teet in 2008.

that was due to rampant speculation in the wti contract by lehman brothers, so i guess that makes it ok.

Still afraid to call it a “war”?

Tell our dead and injured soldiers that this is just an “engagement”

Wait, I was told we went into Venezuela to arrest a dangerous narcoterrorist who was flooding our nation with fentanyl that is made in China and distributed from Mexico.

Was it really about the oil? Maybe that explains leaving the narcoterrorist regime in place and not arresting anyone else on outstanding US warrants.

Our telecom industry is the best in the world in part because of telecom exports. Our pharma industry is the best in the world in part because of pharma exports. Our military industry is the best in the world in part because we export war.

If Iran ends tomorrow, then it’s on to Peru or Pakistan or Panama by Friday.

The entire West will be at war with Islam within 10 years. Might as well get the party started!


Correction needed. The entire West has been at war with Islam(Iran being the most loud, active, and motivated actor) for a long time.

What do you call the US infiltration with openly stated goals of growing/breeding a voting majority, stated intention of installing Sharia Law, and taking control of our country through our own democratic process? “Breed to succeed” approach. That has been going on and is only now starting to bear fruit. It’s happening in other countries as well. Look at the UK. This long term campaign is strategically brilliant, as it forces democratic countries to choose between allowing it and going against fundamental ideals we have set as part of our democratic pillars. It will be successful if something doesn’t change.

Bottom line: Iran, its proxies, and others(Islam) want to exterminate all nonbelievers. Jews, Americans, and so on. Ground zero is the state of Israel and the Jewish people. To pretend we, as Americans, are not interconnected with Israel and the people of Israel is utterly naive. While you may not believe that, MAKE NO MISTAKE that Islam does not see us as different or separate. What do you believe they mean when they continue to chant “Death to America?” Do you think it is a ha ha joke? Do you think they don’t mean it?

The destruction of Iran’s nuclear program is most stated goal because obviously the majority of the public cant understand the rest.

Iran funds all things evil in the ME and even farther out than that. Groups that Iran is primary support for:

Hamas
Hezbollah
Isis
Al Queda
Houthis
PLO

For 47 yrs they have disrupted the ME and all those countries are tired of it. Ask yourself who is coming to their aid? Almost nobody. The ME arab world wants them gone.
