Tell it to Mike Lee, the irate Republican. If Trump can't convince Mike Lee - then he must not have much.

Why start there, why not the US/UK instigated 1953 coup of the democratically elected Mosaddegh?

No doubt, Iran has been one heckuva sticky problem for 40 years now.

Their shenanigans are likely going to increase as a result of tRump's impulsive, stupidly misconceived action.

Oh sure, last night's missile attack was toothless, but don't expect it to end there. Iran has many ways to cause us grief and they're preparing to put those plans into action. Few, if any, involve direct military action that tRump will be able to point to as justification for further escalation. They can hit us with cyber and they can get their numerous proxies to go after our bases and people in the middle east.

The Iranians have a plan.

tRump?

He can't spell p-l-a-n.

There will never be a end to the game unless we gas or nuke all of the ME and kill them all.

Please send your strategy to tRump and the pentagon.

Let us know what their response is.

After Iran's devastating counterattack I see why Neocons see Iran, like Iraq, as an imminent threat to America's national security.

Are you still having hallucinations of weapons of mass destruction too or did they eventually subside?
