Iran says it launched attack on US forces at Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base


 
And the moral of the story is that, for all of the hyperbole and childish insults, Americans overwhelmingly prefer Donald Trump over a Democrat. You folks better do some soul searching instead of tantrums or you’ll never have power again.
I think you need to look up the definition of "overwhelmingly". Even today, GOP barely holds Congress.
 
Trump just called for Israel-Iran ceasefire. Sounds like he’s calling Israel’s bluff now that the enrichment facilities are destroyed.

It is in the books. Phased in over the next 24 hours
 
Yeah, I'm also seeing some online news releases about this. Here's one from CBS, I just saw. We'll see if that holds. That would be very good news.

 
Re: Which God does he speak of?

Roll your own. A higher power will do. Or go your own way. Tolerance works best.

Since I was a child attending a Christian vacation Bible school I have been exposed to and lived among many religions and faiths. Not one would disagree with the sentiment expressed in Luke 2:14.

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Sadly, through the years, peace and good will has failed to materialize among human beings.
 
He certainly has if flaws, but try not to assume those flaws mean that everything he does must be wrong.
He’s a hypocrite. He did exactly what he accused Obama of plotting. He’s also a massive liar. His own sister called him unprincipled, a liar, said that you can’t trust him
 
blacker than white and that is already a no no for whitey tighties.

doesn't matter - you probably think The Rock is a black man lol because he's darker than white

with a Black father and a Samoan mother

I know you thought you "got" me on that one, but man oh man, did you just embarrass yourself.

 

that's the kicker

you have a leader who's afraid to die - truly ... and a USA President who'll drop a bomb on his head if Iran gets outta control and now, Ayatollah knows it I think

Only problem with your defensive attitude is that I couldn't care less if a black man was half black, quarter black, or full black. In case you need reminding (which seems to be often when we get into it) this is what I said................

Now I am white, but I am not a whitey that is uptight about black people, hence the distinction. Hope that explanation is enough for you because if it isn't, I would urge you to find a book to read because I really don't feel like enlightening you again.
 

if you couldn't care less then just call people people and don't mention color of skin

that'd be easy too wouldn't it ?

Obama was as much white as black - don't discount his maternal side no more so or less than his paternal IMO

I've always thought iran were rational state actors, which also why I believe the "war" will happen in Iraq as a proxy again, not direct military conflict with israel/us
 
You think this is over now?

Myself, yes. Iran knew that their attack would have no effect. but they had to at least let out a "last act of defiance" in order to save face before throwing in the towel.

It must be remembered, the PATRIOT systems that have been sent to Ukraine have been highly effective, and those are 1-2 generation old systems. What is located al Al Udeid is the newest iteration, PATRIOT PAC-3 MSE. And from all reports I am reading and watching, Iran launched 14 missiles. 13 were intercepted, one was determined to be landing outside of the protected asset so ignored.

There was never a chance of Iraq doing any significant damage to Al Udeid. They simply lack the number of missiles to overwhelm the air defense systems, or the power to do any significant damage even if a "leaker" got through.
 
So we're back to square one of Iran committing terror via its proxies, hiding its nuclear ambitions, only this time no inspections, no deals, just the full support of Russia & perhaps China. And who knows what Iran will try in Iraq over the next few years.

I never said Trump could be trusted. Even by Washington standards, the truth means little to him.
