Rand Paul is saying this after Iran threw rockets at our compounds, killed and injured Americans there and tried to storm our embassy and he would let it go without a forceful response?

Nope. He, like the rest of those that believe in the Constitution, think that the POTUS should have to go before Congress before he arbitrarily starts killing foreign leaders. I’m not sure why this is so difficult for people to understand.

There was no eminent threat from this guy. He was routinely in Iraq and Syria over the last decade. He may well have been organizing another attack, but he was leaving Iraq not leading it. This wasn’t self defense. Hell, this wasn’t even stand your ground. This was an execution. Period. Dictators and monarchs do this shite. Not the POTUS.

I disagree with every word of this paragraph and can't help but wonder that if you truly believe this bullshite you must be on the verge of tears over all of this, huh?

I bet about now you feel a bit like Jessie Pinkman screaming aloud "he can't keep getting away with this!!!", huh?

that's funny.

I did think it was interesting much of this board swallowed this story whole earlier today when they would normally be skeptical of such reports.

Some people sit back and wait for trouble to come to them.

By the time it does, trouble has already won.

"You could say that Soleimani was plotting to attack the U.S. It may well be true. But with his death, do you think it's more or less likely that Iran and their militias and their proxies will attack the U.S.? I would argue that it's much more likely," Paul told host Neil Cavuto.

"Sure they're planning on attacking us, but if we kill them then they'll plan to attack us!"

What if
A nation overthrew Eisenhower in 1953-
Funded Canada or Mexico in a war against the US that cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Someone related to you was killed-
Then put crippling economic sanctions on the US-
Then invaded Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean and set up bases surrounding the US with thousands of soldiers and weapons aimed at you.

The Iranians aren’t good. They are evil. At least the leadership. But to pretend we played no part in the mess that is that region is ridiculous and downright untrue. And to pretend that doing the same thing over and over in that region is good policy is stupid.
Obama dropped over 25,000 bombs in the Middle East in 2016 alone. This isn’t a trump vs Obama stupidity contest. It’s a stupidity contest between all administrations dating back for decades.
And most of the people on this board are just gluttons for war porn. It’s pretty disturbing.
Every war we enter erodes our constitutional rights. That is without question. We listen to them say that we send troops to defend our rights, but the truth is that wars cost us our rights.
But I don’t expect the war porn crowd to accept that.
