The bomb counted the floors as it entered the building and exploded on the level where they had stashed the aircraft parts. Three Chinese were killed and 27 injured. The Chinese got the message.
That's some awesome stuff right there! The people who can make that happen are brilliant!

This would be a moot point if we hadn't been meddling in THEIR business for decades.

Bring our troops home and let the ME either remain barbarians killing each other or learn to get along.

They will lose interest over us if we leave them the hell alone.

This would include us dropping out of the UN.

Were you upset about that "act of war"?
An act of war against which country?

Hypocrisy much?
I follow a Libyan personality on fb. Very sad for the citizens there. Where's the outrage?
Glad I got a chance to edit this. ETA: Mrs. Clinton's reaction/demeanor is inappropriate for a military leader. Military bearing? Not a shred.

And to the person who said "No one hates Trump"....HAHAHAHAHA. seriously?

This stupid act by Trump is going to bite us bigly, make no mistake about it.
I doubt it !!!

If only we could find someone stupid enough to blame it on a video we could forget about it !!!

There is no downside to killing a terrorist !!! None of them are to important to die !!!

Any Iranian outside Iran is representing the state and is a terrorist and should be a target of opportunity !!!

We are either at war with terrorism and terrorist or we aren't and if we aren't we need to bring all the troops home from the ME !!!

Wait. What? He did them a favor then because death is better than Guantanamo Bay? Did he ask their opinion?

The best idea is 100% US withdrawal from the ME.
