We all are. I have seen nothing but approval of the bombing with regard to its being in compliance with the constitution. I agree with them, and I wrote a thread which briefly discounts WPowers Act, as not applicable as a Democrat tool to override the Constitution for god sake.
Look at marauder, he wants to tie the hands of a president who is sworn to protect the cit ...[text shortened]... t takes to protect the citizens. It just happens that he did so under the rules of the constitution.
The President is sworn to protect the Constitution. The People can protect themselves; we're not children relying on an all-powerful and all-knowing Fuhrer like you seem to think.

The President was given limited powers so he could never abuse his role and rule like a king. The Framers lacked your belief in one man rule.

Beset by Sonhouse Syndrome.

So, the question…. The constitution and the law, etc., notwithstanding, do you think that we should have executed that perfect 100% eradication of nuclear development inside of a country that is the worst terrorist country in the world, who has sworn to kill America?. I’m not mentioning Trump or other countries or Israel. Certainly you can answer that and still save face?
Or the meandering can just continue….he said she said I said you said, whatever …..

The people who were there had 60 days to have gotten out, so not to be funny, but they committed suicide. You can glom onto murder, like Shav does, but still, irrelevant.
Certainly by now everyone knows what they are dealing with with Donald Trump. He always does what he says he is gonna do. He does not bluff. And for the record, he prepares people to think twice about what they do, in making preparations for about what he is going to do.

I don't think Iran is "the worst terrorist country in the world".

I don't think it's "sworn to kill America".

I've yet to see much evidence their nuclear program was moving to developing nuclear weapons.

So I don't accept any of the premises of your loaded question.

Gawd, more of your sickening ass kissing. It's really revolting how you can drop to your knees before such a pathetic con man.

In sheer number of victims, probably the US, maybe Israel.

When was the last time the government of Iran actually killed an American?

I'm well aware that Iran aids resistance movements against Israeli and US occupation forces.

What I'm missing is any direct hostilities against the US that have caused deaths. There are plenty of examples of the US forces killing Iranians but none it appears of Iranian forces killing Americans.

You'll get no argument from me that Iran's government is a tyranny but governments being tyrannies has never stopped the US from being friendly with them; Trump just traveled to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Middle East dictatorships kissing up to tyrants who due similar things to the list of human rights abuses you made for Iran.

No, I don't.

Were Soviet soldiers killed by the US in Afghanistan when we aided the Mujaheddin?

Would our aid in that conflict have justified the Soviets attacking the US?

America is basically a nice place with a few too many racist scumbags like yourself.

Ditto about white folks.

Yes. Soviets can try to attack the US for helping the Mujahaddin. Thats their choice. Justified or not, the US will respond.
