    Hard to say, but I bet we are looking for it.

    Some say the divide between arab/persian is a bigger deal to them than the sunni/shia split.

    You're thinking there's some inside information involved?

    Well, these thinkers were so blatant (Soleimani for example had a UN resolution that forbid him from leaving Iran, and he is posing for cameras in Iraq), that ID was able to be made-if that was by observers at the airport, or insiders, or just Apache helicopters I don't know.

    The new sanctions must be crippling Iran as they are trying to up the ante on Trump

    Probably best if you stay out of the way. I've trained with the West Germans before the wall came down, all the fighters must have died in WWII. The Germans are a couple steps above the Iraqi Army when it comes to training, never seen so many limp wristed soldiers all in one place. They approach training as if they were at camp.

    As long as Everybody REALIZES that...

    IF there are Victims (of any "Retaliatory Attacks")...

    THEN, That BLOOD is on Trump's Hands...

    Most informed observers think that a "Retaliatory Attack" is inevitable.

    A Monumental Escalation (viewed as a "Act of War" by Iran)...

    Trump just threw a match into a pool of gasoline and he thinks nothing "bad" is going to happen...

    An Untrained AMATEUR who is putting Many Innocent Lives (All Over the World) in Danger.

    I hope that Trump is prepared to deal with the BLOOD (that will be on his hands).

    Iranian "retaliation" is a certainty.

    The only questions are What Method? And How Much?

    Thanks alot, Trump!:flagus: :smh:

    Trump obviously has advisers and much better ones than Obama had.

    It's like some of you are saddened by the death of a murdering terrorist who has killed thousands world wide and are just hoping for a fierce retaliation so that you can morph into a more intense Orange Man Bad Mania.

    That is NOT the point.

    You are (obviously) missing the point completely.

    Sure, he was a Bad Guy.

    But, was taking him out (at this time) the correct thing to do strategically?

    Iran is going to retaliate in a Major Way.

    I thought Trump wanted to "get out of the Middle East".

    Now, he has committed an act that is a Monumental Escalation of tensions in the region.

    Any of Trump's Supporters (in Government or out) who are oversimplifying things by acting like Iran isn't going to retaliate are completely missing the point.

    And, before you know it, everybody at PF will be discussing Iran's Retaliation in multiple threads.

    ^BLOOD That Will be in Trump's Hands.:smh:

    PS--Sending my sympathy to the victims (in advance).

    Did you also thank Obama for violating the Constitutional rights of Anwar al-Awlaki and his 16 year old son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. Both were American Citizens born in the United States? You realize both had the rights granted under the Constitution of the United States. Drone striking both of them without due process is a crime.

    Huh?

    What does that have to do with the thread topic?

    Your only contribution is "whataboutism"?:bored:

    "But...Obama..." :roflol:

    I honestly don't think that Trump has the mental capacity to realize the implications of this Escalation.

    It's called Juxtaposition............juxtaposition noun

    (formal) the juxtaposition of two contrasting objects, images, or ideas is the fact that they are placed together or described together, so that the differences between them are emphasized.

    Juxtaposition is a perfectly fair debate tool. But of course you're choking on the question.

    No, AJ. Realize that decades of being the worlds largest state sponsor of terrorism means they will die.

    Trump isn't responsible for the acts of crazed terrorists.

    He has happily ended those lives.

    Iran, Iraq, Syria, and the free world is celebrating the disjointing of this top muslim terrorist.

    Sorry if you are sad.

    Once again (as usual) you missing the point completely.:bored:

    I am not "sad". Why would I be?

    I just feel sorry for the (certain to be) future innocent victims of Trump's Major Escalation of Tensions.

    Trump is an Amateur, who has no idea what he is getting into.

    Iran can start with Oakland.

    That's one place where dropping bombs on it would cause billions of dollars of improvements.

    Yeah. No kidding.

    And they will be 100% CORRECT.

    Saying "the threat of retaliation puts Americans in danger..."

    Is one of those statements like "The Desert Contains Sand".:salute:

    Just hope it was worth it and this doesn't cause ww3.
