Yet another war, this time with Iran

[Gospel]

I remember a time when people were shocked and surprised if a Presidential statement sounded like it was written by an excitable nine-year-old boy who skipped his Ritalin.

"You must always remember that the president is about six"
Cecil Spring Rice about Theodore Roosevelt

You're comparing Teddy Roosevelt's voracious intellectual appetite and insatiable curiosity to Trump's inability to control himself in the toilet that is social media?

I remember the 80'ies where the media kept making fun of Reagan for being an intellectual lightweight. Those were the days.

Facts! At least he didn’t come off like a man-child whining about the media every time he had a microphone in front of him.

For a guy you didn't vote for you sure defend him a lot.

What's wrong with wanting to wipe a terrorist organization that wants to exterminate you off the face of the Earth?

At the moment, Israel and US are no better.

While US and Israel are certainly no perfect, is it incredibly ignorant to say that they are "no better". They are many, many orders of magnitude better than IRGC and the islamofascist terror group it funds, arms and controls.

That was the old Khomeini who wrote that

Yes, Khomeini who founded the so-called "Islamic Republic" and who established the regime that controls Iran to this day. But yet his defence of actual pedophilia is being dismissed.

and Iran has been completely obliterated since then, with a freed liberated people, and a completely new regime changed. Mission Accomplished, Derec.

BS, even by your standards. The mission is far from being accomplished, and it won't be as long as Trump TACOs.

I am not. I am comparing the two quips.

There are far more effective digs at Trump than comparing him to a child, which is, frankly, insulting to both TR and to primary school age boys.

Not defending Trump. Bilby's comparison with a 9 year boy paints him in way too good a light.

And I have criticized Trump a lot in this very thread, most often in reference to him being TACO.

Well you're on record implying it is acceptable to invade patriarchies to steal their oil. We'll have to remember that one.

The notion that support for a person necessarily means unconditional support of everything that they do or stand for is naive. But it is convenient because it permits someone to distance themself from support anytime there is a even a slight disagreement.

The depends entirely on what end of America's petrodollar system and guns you're on.

The war is illegal. But, if it means the end of an evil regime that has threatened the world and put fear into the hearts of millions of people who just want to live in peace, maybe it will do some good.
Also, Iran might take some damage.
