    Are you suggesting Trump will invade Iraq?

    Do you have a blind spot for the attack on the embassy?
    Do you have a blind spot for the contractor killed in December?
    Do you have a blind spot for the attack on an iraqi airport also in December?
    Do you have a blind spot for the ships Iran took over?

    And we took disproportionate military action in response. Escalation leads to escalation. We’ll see a response to this. Hope the US is prepared to protect its interests.

    I can’t claim to know what our actions will look like, but at the very least I believe we’re headed into a ground war.

    I wonder how much of that would have happened if the US held up its part of the Nuclear deal.

    Good point.

    What if Iran tries to retaliate "tit for tat" and targets one of our top commanders?

    What if there is a major terrorist attack on the interests of the USA?

    Trump (As Usual) FAILING to think things through.

    This is exactly why democrats erode any possible credibility each and every day. I watched a friend of mine a devote democrat, all his life, make an innocent positive remark about Trump's economy on facebook and he was viciously attacked by his "friends" on the left. One of his last statements before he had enough and signed off was that he now intends to vote Trump in November. Thank you democrat party mob for giving the right another voter.

    I don’t see it not.
    We assassinated a military leader in a foreign nation that has no social equal here in the US. This man was a public and well liked figure. The Iranian populace is
    Likely eager to retaliate now, and the have allies in Russia and China likely willing to aid them as a proxy against the US.

    Obama bombed 7 Muslim countries, issued record number of drone strikes, and ousted the Libyan leader.

    I don't remember the Democrats being worried about Obama's "unilateral actions that could force the US into yet another war."

    How did this assassination directly protect an evacuated embassy?

    I highly doubt it. At most, the US (actually will more than likely be either Israel is Saudi) will destroy Iran's refineries. If ground troops are used, it will be regional troops and I highly doubt it would be even entering Iran.

    What might happen, however, the Strait of Hormuz could be a hot spot which could lead to Iranian vesicles getting sunk.

    He is "popular" amongst the Jihadist leadership and the military... Not so much the "populace"

    Because dotard boy is sending in more troops to be killed one way or an other by some proxy.
    I wouldn't want to be a high ranking US officer in Syria where it illegally is residing.
