#5 Trump should have started this war months ago. Hell, Biden should have started this war half a year ago!

The writing was on the wall!
Regime change in Iran is the only possible outcome. And a complete dismantling of their nuclear weapons program like Libya did.
And we kept our end of that deal, too. Colonel Gadafi stayed in control of his socialist country until he started genociding his own people. That's a crime against humanity. The US has R2P, responsibility to protect. Borders don't matter when a genocide is going on.
So NATO attacked and destroyed his country and topped the genocide. Unfortunately Gaddafi did not survive to face war crimes trials at The Hague. Some asswipe killed him before we got to try him. That was disappointing, it would be great to see him rotting in prison for the rest of his life. Unfortunately he couldn't hang like the Nazis did.

#8 5^

I don't agree that we were without blame in Libya.

A convoy with Mumar in it was hit by a NATO air squadron (mostly US) after which Mumar tried to hide. He was then killed by other Libyans but there is considerable doubt whether the NATO strike was within the rules. NATO was supposedly mainly defending civilians in non Mumar ruled Libya at the time.

I think you are correct that Hillary had major responsibility for the USA's over prosecution in Libya. But Obama was POTUS and bears more responsibility than Hillary.

#15 Posted in Ace of Spades a bit ago:

"Nick Sortor @nicksortor
#BREAKING: At least THREE Iranian military planes have just left Iran and landed in Oman, the country mediating U.S.-Iran nuclear talks

A deal may be back on the table!"

Separatly, "...claims that three planes is excessive for just a negotiating team, and suspects the planes are carrying the Ayatollah, his son and successor, and other family members and government officials. He premises this on the claim that Israel has been attacking Khameini's hidey-hole bunkers and the Ayatollah knows it's just a matter of time before they hit the one he's in."
