#1 This is very troubling. The NYT doesn't praise Trump except when he's looking like he's going to start a war. :(

Remember during the fake chlorine gas attack at Douma, he launched the cruise missiles in "retaliation", and suddenly got a 90% approval rating from the media?

Everyone knows by now the Douma incident was staged and fake, and designed to stop Trump from getting us out of Syria. The evidence is overwhelming.

#2 I was pissed that Shrub jr. refused his extermination during Gulf II. Buy you lost me Herb. So why is finally putting Salami in meat tube a bad thing? Your saying killing a mudslum terrorist leader who has started wars during a war might start a war?

Herb I love you brother, feel free to change the topic again.

News for you Herb. Being involved directly in the killing of over 600 American soldiers,over the years IS being in a war already.

#8 When Trump gets rare approval from tbe media, it means their goal of starting a war is being accomplished.

America doesn't benefit from a war with Iran. End of story. They aren't worth a single American's life. We have all the oil we need right here in West Texas. Let those camel fuckers choke on their dirty unsellable oil.

#9 So much happens in our world that people believe is caused by their own decisions, after all they press the buttons and say the words. What people have forgotten in the 21st century is that God is still the avenger of His people, that mighty one of Israel.

'Therefore the Lord, the LORD Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: "Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes and avenge myself on my enemies...'

and

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

You may call me a simpleton, but it's like this : Suleimani signed his death warrant when he threatened to destroy Israel some months ago and kept at it. Trump is the leader for the American people, but not all of them. For only those love him who are rooted to God in some way. He is a servant of God, like Nebuchadnezzar and Darius were. In my view he serves at the pleasure of the real King. And the King wanted fire to rain on these dogs because they had dared to threaten Israel.

I believe the destinies of nations, their political ambitions and theories, all the pettiness and hubris we rally around; all our strategic wisdom mean nothing to the Ancient of Days, whom we all serve.

From the morale perspective, the critics of violent action haven't understood the muslim mind yet. Firstly, this war is not your doing because they started it. It is not going to end because the Herbs feel so, deal with that. Secondly, it's with an enemy who is superstitious, rooted in historic angst and derives morale from scripture. His scripture is wrong, but yours is the right one ! Your christian roots give you all the justification for these actions. When thousands of innocents die at muslim hands, islamic ummat achieves a morale victory. When you brutally reduce to shit and gristle their 'revered leaders', their fucking world shatters. What's important is to keep them mourning their leaders and commanders and keep demonstrating the futility of going up against your countries.

#10 And the King wanted fire to rain on these dogs because they had dared to threaten Israel.

What.

Uh, Iran and most of the Arab world regularly calls for death to Israel. What happened to inspire this bizarre rant?

Your christian roots give you all the justification for these actions

You just went off spouting Jewish supremacy, now Christians need to rise up? How does that compute?

What's important is to keep them mourning their leaders and commanders and keep demonstrating the futility of going up against your countries.

Endless war. What a gem you are. Let me say this clearly and succinctly so that everyone understands.

The entire Middle East is not worth a single American's life.

You want war with Iran, you go do it yourself and let your own people do the dying.

#11 It's worth yours. Go make peace, Herb. Do it.

#12 'Erb, a few sawbucks says that Trump's gambit will actually result in Iran being brought to heel AND US troops exiting Iraq within the next 24 months - at the express orders of the Iraqi government.

You game?

#13  Go make peace

The problem with the peace thing is that both sides have to want it. Unilaterally declaring peace with someone who wants to kill you doesn't work. Compare and contrast USA vs Japan in WWII with Israel vs Paleos today.

As for the drone-zap, I think Trump made a ballsy move that *will* make the future better. The Iranians will bloviate and fire up their proxies, but will not do anything themselves now that Trump has shown he will not hesitate to hit back.

#16 Just to be clear.
Fuck you, Herb. I think you are a paid shit stirrer.
May you roast IN HELL along side these IRANIAN PRICKS.
