    They had no problem as Obama droned lesser terrorists, innocents, and even U.S. Citizens. Suddenly, Trump hits the #1 high value terrorist target in the world and.....

    ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!!

    Maybe they’re worried about Trump taking unilateral actions that could force the US into yet another war?

    Since when have democrats not wanted to advance the cause of tyranny around the globe in recent years, and actively cultivated those little conflicts and wars? What makes this somehow different, it seems, is that this was an action to stop exactly that kind of dynamic from continuing. Hence, why I think they are suddenly rattled.

    Pelosi can disagree, but is she also under the fantasy that she is now commander in chief???

    Democrats have taken us to war more often than Republicans.

    Sanctions are an act of war. We have been conducting acts of war on Iran for years now.

    Shame to see both sides are in favor of avoidable wars when their guy is in charge. Hope this doesn’t lead to more lives spent for zero gain.

    Guess it’s all good as long as it’s your guy in charge. Hope this doesn’t lead to the needless loss of American lives.

    Exactly.

    Trump's "Supporters" FAIL to understand the implications of Trump's Actions.

    I wonder how Trump (and his "Supporters") will react when Retaliatory Attacks KILL Innocent People?

    ^BLOOD that will be on Trump's Hands.

    Based on past history, the Default Assumption is that:

    They will Unconditionally "Defend" any consequence (once Breitbart and Faux News settle on a consensus).

    That's why there was an order for all US citizens to leave Iraq. No point in allowing Iran to target them indiscriminately in Iraq.

    Sanctions are diplomatic alternatives to military action.
    Unfortunately Trump is the reason for our imposition of sanctions and is likely to be the reason for military action to come. Shame to lose American lives for for sake of his poor leadership.

    If you don’t think this will lead to boots on the ground then you must think Obama had the right idea on how to wage war.

    We’ve been at war with Iran since Nov ‘79. Coincidently the same time Soleimani was put in charge of Iran’s Quds.

    You mean like Libya and Syria?

    Iran attacked our embassy.. People like Chris Murphy complain we are weak and then complain when we fight back..

    What were your thoughts when Leon Panetta testified to Congress and specially his comments to Sessions...

    I blame Trump for backing a rat into a corner and forcing it to fight by removing the US from the Iran Nuclear deal, just because it was associated with Obama.

    Don't pretend any of this has anything to do with right or wrong. Democrats will blindly attack Republicans and Republicans will blindly attack Democrats right back. None of them (you?) are worthy of serious consideration because of that.

    And BTW, remember, Trumps administration redefined our military ROE. Our military can now defend itself!

    Obama's nuclear deal was ridiculous. It merely delayed and even provided an exception for Iran to continue developing and perfecting advanced centrifuges while in the agreement with NO over site!
