    I am hearing conflicting reports on this. But, this read like a show of force. Iran is trying to show the world and the US that we can go toe to toe with you. When in reality they can't. But that isn't going to stop them from doing crap like this.

    Yeah.

    When it comes to military "strategy", LeMay was a big fan of "Measured Response":

    So we should just allow them to keep targeting our troops like before?

    America cannot lose this war. The world is watching and the world’s only superpower will not disappoint.

    I take it you think we should just send them pallets of cash so they can continue to target our troops.

    It will be interesting how this plays out
    Trump supporters are going to insist on targeting Iran itself
    That would be the next step of escalation
    Which would justify an Iranian attack on us homeland
    Which would justify a very punitive attack on Iran’s homeland
    Which will mean war

    Nice twist. Illegals kill Americans and the left cares about the illegals. Terrorists kill Americans and plan to kill more using the money Obama gave them and the left cares about the terrorists.

    That sounds smarter than blowing up one general and thinking it’ll do anything other than escalate things

    Untrue, we did not do NOTHING. We tied yellow ribbons around our car antennas and listened to Carter’s fireside chats. What a friggin embarrassment.
