Some of there friend might do something and we will take it out on Iran.
We don't need the oil? The President is the one who was asking the Saudis to pump more so the price will be lower. We still very much need oil from the Middle East.

Trump prefers the BLU-82 Daisycutter. It's a ultra high yield conventional explosive used as a bunker buster. My guess is Iran fires a bunch of missiles to little or no effect and then this dies back down and the US and Iran go back to hating on each other as usual.

CNN is already trying to get Trump to attack... Jim Acosta criticized Trump's recent post trying to calm things down as if he is upset Trump isn't attacking Iran, but you know if Trump attacked Iran instantly, Acosta would be saying how reckless and dangerous Trump is... this is why nobody cares about any claim on the media anymore. The majority of people now realize MSM is an arm of the DNC and Fox is an arm of the GOP.

I watched CNN tonight. What you are reporting is 'Fake News.' Acosta never said anything like that. What they were critical of was that Trump did not address the Country about this scary incident. Something that every President has always done when we are under attack. Instead Trump sends a Tweet saying 'All is well.'
What the hell does that mean? He'll address the Nation tomorrow. Instead he's glued to his TV watching and cheering on Fox who is talking about Nuking Iran! Just what this idiot needs to hear.

Try being TRUTHFUL! Stop copying Fox. Garbage in, Garbage out!

Yepper, if they actually hit something important, like our troops, they may as well kiss their country goodbye.

Also would not worry about gas prices. As MSchemist pointed out, those days are over.

How Trump responds will be interesting to say the least. Since Iran apparently missed all their targets and then proclaimed, "we don't want war or escalation", he may show restraint, for now.

Bingo.
The media is full of crap, their mission is to bring down Trump and if he is on one side of the issue, you can rest assured that the media is on the opposite side.

Well, looks like it is over. This was all a controlled release of built up pressure. The Iranians are standing down and Trump has stated he has no plans for further military action. Markets are up.
