It is like this all over the Middle East. It is very sad, but true.

I wonder why.

I wonder why.

Probably a good idea, evacuate everybody who could be caught up in this crap.

Capitalist are just as dangerous as terrorist. You've seen the damages they can inflict.

In an interview with Meet the Press,to air tomorrow, Trump said he doesn't want war with Iran, but if it comes to that, there would be "obliteration like you've never seen before."

WASHINGTON—President Trump bucked most of his top national-security advisers by abandoning retaliatory strikes in Iran on Thursday. In private conversations Friday, Mr. Trump reveled in his judgment, certain about his decision to call off the attacks while speaking of his administration as if removed from the center of it. “These people want to push us into a war, and it’s so disgusting,” Mr. Trump told one confidante about his own inner circle of advisers. “We don’t need any more wars.”

Capitalists are as dangerous as terrorists??? Oh brother. You need to go live in some of those shining examples of socialist success like Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Greece, Italy, or Russia. About six months later you would wet your pants to get back to the U.S. and live with all of us capitalist terrorists.

you know, so far Trump has done an excellent job of averting war, he has averted a war with NK, and now he has averted a war with Iran, he avoided a war in Syria and hasn't gone to war over Venezuela

That's my point. If it were me ,I would've gone with the advice of John Bolton. But I have to admit it. He did not run as a hardliner ;he said he would not engage in foreign wars as much as his predecessor did .And so far he is keeping his word to the point that he engages in silly negotiations with Un-Kim .

He is having to clean up the mess left behind by Obama's absurd, ridiculous agreement with Iran in which he agreed to basically give them over 100 billion dollars, dial back on sanctions, and open the country to foreign investments, all in exchange for a paper thin agreement to roll back uranium enrichment. It was an outrageous concession that should never have been made. All of the Trump critics should begin with an acknowledgement that Obama completely mishandled the situation, but I doubt that will happen.

It was Iran's money. The money came from Iranian oil sales and was piling up in some international banks in escrow accounts over the years.

Save your breath WG, because facts don't matter to the right wing loonies who are addicted to the red meat the dufus feeds them and you must admit they waited a long time to get someone to feed their crazy ideas.

[tomder55]

He knew what Iran would do with the funds once they were released . A better idea would've been to use the money as compensation to all Iran's victims .

Didn't matter what Iran would do. It was Iran's money.

What a sad, sad excuse. We have tens of billions of dollars belonging to Iran, so we just go out and give it to them and say, "Hey, if they use it to build nukes or commit acts of terror or military aggression, then it wasn't our fault. After all, it was their money."

Good grief. You don't hand money over to maniacs under any circumstances. If someone's family member ends up as a victim of terror, then I guess you can comfort them with those words.

Truth is, Obama did it, so it must be OK. Yet another Obama loving excuse. It gets old.

When you bought your house, was the escrow money handed out to your future neighbors to prepay them for any faults you would perhaps commit or had committed elsewhere or to the local Baptist church to help others obtain a mortgage?

[talaniman]

Think the dufus can obliterate the Iranians before they get one nuke built for the fleet in Gulfs? Or the vast network of terrorists they funded?
