That's very uncertain.
You've got to admit - President Trump is definitely in the Driver's Seat!

I still believe that he can achieve both the objectives in my OP: get out of Iraq AND reel in Iran's nuclear program!

Soleimani, just like Bin Laden, was a murdering terrorist with much American blood on his hands. Taking them both out was the right thing to do!

What Team are you on anyway!? I can’t believe you live in Texas and post this anti-American mierda!
Bin Laden was the mastermind behind 911 and was on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. Was Soleimani on that list as well. I don't think many has heard anything about him.

tRump doesn't think more than a day or two ahead. His ignorant impulsive behavior is his most salient characteristic.

Haven't we seen enough of these big-talking chickenhawks?


This thread has brought out another infestation of armchair warriors, who think that the real world plays out like a video game. Trump unchecked could easily be the end of us. Many of us foresaw this from the beginning. How can others be so clueless as to dismiss it?

World War 3 is about to begin! Just like it was going to begin as soon as Trump stepped into office

If you believe anything in terms of a conflict situation is easy, you'd be the last person I'd wish to serve with.

My claim was that the U.S. could defeat any of Iran's air defenses, and I stand by that. I didn't say they were perfect or our defenses were perfect. I also never said anything was easy, so stop lying about what I claimed.

4. Iran had stopped enriching uranium and was fully complying with inspections, as verified by Rex Tillerson - FALSE
5. The Middle East was starting to show signs of stabilizing and hints of democracy arising - FALSE
6. The USA was at a negotiated peace with Iran where diplomacy could begin - Still committing acts of TERROR
7. The people of Iran were demonstrating against their theocratic regime - Really? If it really happened, they didn't change anything.

So much Disinformation above. Almost ALL of it false. Iran was still sponsoring terror. Obama the incompetent, called ISIS the JV, and then under his watch became even stronger and more dangerous. Iran was NEVER complying with anything. Middle East stabilizing? Iraq, Syria, Yemen, etc?????

You can't negotiate with Iran. They are a Terrorist state led by Muslim fanatics. When will you Libs realize that appeasing them doesn't work? You must live in some Utopian Fantasy World.

You could also make the argument that the ballistic missiles that Iran launched on US Troops yesterday was paid for with the plane-load of money that the Obama administration secretly arranged a few years back!
