Good for Joe Kent.
That is a very bad sign for Trump.
@dbmhoosier will roll out his old defense of President Trump and claim he was undermined by the warmongers within the "deep state."
The job title is “Director of the National Counterterrorism Center” and he’s pissed we’ve annihilated the sponsor of the vast amount of global terrorism in the last half a decade?
Make it make sense
Being in counterterrorism doesn't mean someone is supportive of pointless unnecessary wars. And shocking some people don't flip flop their opinions just because Trump tells them to
@unclemark of course Trump immediately said no.
LOL. He said he forced Netanyahu's hand.
I'm amazed Rubio still has a job.
@unclemark that is what he said.
If Israel was set to attack, we had the option to say, "do it and you will never get another penny of US aid nor be allowed to buy US equipment." We have pressure points to apply. Israel may have had the idea, but we were not unwilling participants.
There has to date not been a credible, "here is why we had to do this now" explanation. I am not sure I see why anyone should follow us into this any more than they should have Vietnam. Are we all in agreement Vietnam was a crappy, stupid decision?
Sure there was. Rubio spelled it out on day two. Israel was going to take out the leadership with a "decapitating" strike, and the US had to preemptively attack Iran's responding resources lest they get a chance to hit us first with their full capacity. Any other reason that's been proffered is window dressing. Netanyahu forced Trump's hand.
If you are going to take this tact, and I still think you’re completely wrong and Rubio clarified himself the next sentence. Israel’s intel on Khamenei’s location and declaration that they were going to act, determined the day the war started. Not whether there was a war at all.
The largest military build up since WW2 is not a bluff, if you think that you’re a moron. Maybe the war started three days earlier than it would’ve.
Marv is also completely wrong. Kushner and Witkoff made clear the Iranians were intransigent at negotiations and were going to develop a bomb unless stopped militarily. Earlier the better as their ballistic missile and drone capacity would only increase with more time.
So there you have it. That’s why you nincompoops are both completely wrong.

Hey you got one sport. Trump has told Israel no to West Bank annexations, Trump forced Bibi to end the 12 day war, during this war he has made them stop hitting oil infrastructure. Trump could have just as easily said no to this if we weren’t planning on attacking.
But all that is inconvenient to double digit IQ, “Israel runs our foreign policy” slack jaws like our friend @unclemark.
"deep state."
legacy republicans. The REAL republicans, right?
If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.

Didn't we just bomb their program back to the pre stone age?
He’s an anti-Israel right-winger similar to Tulsi and a couple of our posters here. Tulsi will pretend to toe the line for a while, but she and this guy are fellow travelers.
Left leaning media was calling the guy a white nationalist and neo nazi before this made him a shining beacon on the hill of hope.
Nothing to see here.
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

Looking forward to COH telling us how wrong we are.
Its good to respect your elders, better that you respect your superiors !

Is the new Supreme Leader (if not yet dead) gay? Well, Iran says there are no gay people in Iran, but have killed those that were gay. It's contradictory, of course. Will the new Supreme Leader be hanged when he gets back from Russia after recovery (if not yet dead)? The world wants to know.
Exclusive | Trump briefed that Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is probably gay
Seems like we could build a land bridge between those two land masses, create a canal for ships to pass through, and keep all profits.Maybe TMI but also curiously interesting.

Trump Canal has a nice ring to it . . . (he'll license us the name for a paltry 5%).

Close. He will bring 5% as a demand, then have you begging to pay 11% with his negotiating techniques!
