    W never had a chance to get Bin Ladin and you can’t prove otherwise.

    Clinton on the other hand had the chance and passed and it cost us 2,996 American lives.

    The only problem with your cowering appeasement, is that you'll run out people to sacrifice. Nothing left but you and the voracious adyss that piece by piece you gave your soul.

    Sad.

    What disturbs me is that 22% of respondents actually said they support bombing of Iran that includes cultural and world heritage sites. 22% want us to behave exactly like the monsters we are supposed to be fighting over there (ISIS and their ilk).

    Trumpublicans are becoming monsters in their fervent, conditioned hatred of Iran. In seeking to kill the spiders to save the butterflies, they are becoming spiders themselves.

    your definition of "amnesty" isn't amnesty. It was taking him off a sanctions list (at the UN).

    The fact that the administration refuses to disclose this intel even to the gang of 8 makes me extremely skeptical of this.

    I remember years ago, Hamas bulldozed “world cultural heritage site”, in order to make room for their freedom fighters training ground.

    There was not a whisper of disapproval from the Democrats, or the world.

    And besides, they have WMD, an existential threat to American school children.

    I don't recall Republicans complaining, either. Didn't hear a thing about it from anyone.

    But that has absolutely nothing to do with nearly a quarter of respondents supporting a war crime against Iran today.

    If it turns out that no embassy attack eventuates, then I think we have to believe that it also wouldn't have eventuated even if Soleimani was still alive, meaning that it was either prevented another way or else they changed their mind and decided not to attack.

    There would have been attempts to attack us anyway, but what this has done is to take out one of their top people. Again, with history as a reference if the Germans could have got to Commander Eisenhower, that would have utterly crippled the American Military.

    I'm going to paraphrase James Comey: What would you have done as commander in chief, armed with the knowledge that an Iranian-led force invades Iraqi territory, and then proceeds to attack your embassy.

    Do you:

    A: Respond by fighting back
    B: Maybe defend just the consulate, but don't take any aggressive measures against the enemy
    or C: Run away?

    C would have been catastrophic to US morale, and would have given the Quds confirmation bias that as Ayotollah claimed: We could do nothing. If they wanted to kill Americans, they could kill Americans.

    We could have sat there defending ourselves, but if we needed reinforcements we would've ended up going to A anyway. What the President did, was show a powerful response that: No, you're not going to target and kill our people without paying just as, if not bigger of a price.

    There wouldn't be an Al Queda at all if it weren't for Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Their operation Cyclone to arm, train, and finance the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan launched the entire movement.

    The Israelis are pushing the movement to hate Iran. They want us to do their dirty work and destroy Iran so that they can take over the Levant area.

    Looking at what President Trump has done for us over the short 3 years, I approve. Is all the credibility I need.
