Let's not go to another war please.



Iran launched nearly a dozen cruise missiles and over 20 drones from its territory in the attack on a key Saudi oil facility Saturday, a senior Trump administration official told ABC News Sunday.


Critics condemned Trump's threat to act, especially at the Saudis' behest. Rep. Justin Amash, of Michigan, a former Republican and now Independent, tweeted, "Under our Constitution, the power to commence war lies with Congress, not the president and certainly not Saudi Arabia. We don’t take orders from foreign powers."

Remember how Trump ran on a platform of 'Get the hell out of the Middle East!'

Yet Trump supporters are salivating that Trump should start and even bigger mess than Afghanistan in Iran.

I didn't read much from his twitter supporters. The few I did read seemed confused. Nothing new though

Remember when Bill Clinton ordered the US into wars in Bosnia and Kosovo without congressional approval, in places where we had zero American interests? At least we have national interests in the Persian Gulf.

Gee I'm shocked. So people from one country defended themselves from another country that attacks them. Well I'll be.

How on Gods green earth could this NOT be the first thing that comes into EVERYONES mind. I really wish I could gloat and say "I called it" or "I told you so" but I'm too busy being disgusted by boobus who doesn't get it.

Wake the hell up!
Heard some reporting drones appear to have came from Iran's direction and not yemen.

Stay focused, we are talking about the here and now and what should happen today. What happened under Clinton is irrelevant.

It's relevent because the Democrats are criticizing Trump when what their own guy did was more unjustified. Given their own history, Democrats are in no position to criticize President Trump.
