Everyone had an opinion about War.
Either you thought starting a war of choice with Iran was a dumbass idea, or you thought it was a great idea. No one is neutral about war.

Those are not the only two choices. You are presenting a false dilemma.

We spent trillions of dollars on your Iraq War, but there were no WMD, democracy and stability did not break out, and the country is riddled with terrorists and Iranian-backed shiite militias. They are always just a gunshot away from civil war.

So? Saddam was a major source of funding of worldwide Islamic terrorism. That ended a good chunk of it. That Iraq now has Shiite militias funded and backed by Iran is the same problem. A rogue state funding terrorism. Without Iranian backing Hezbollah would be nothing. Without Iranian backing, the Islamic terrorists in Gaza would have shit for arms and equipment.

Iran just took Saddam's place. They deserve the same treatment for the same reason.

If you think Iraq is a happy success story, I invite you to rent a car in Baghdad and drive solo to Basra without armed guards or escort.

You mean like these guys actually did?


At least I've actually driven in parts of the Middle East, you haven't.

How Iran Adapted Its Attacks as U.S. War Munitions Dwindled​

The Iranian strikes that killed three U.S. soldiers in Jordan show how quickly Iran’s war-fighting skills have evolved, as the Pentagon runs low on interceptors.

During five intense days last month, Iran launched waves of drones and missiles at U.S. troops on three bases in Jordan, hoping to break through the formidable American air defenses.

Using advanced missiles that can suddenly change course, Iran pummeled the bases’ defensive systems, forcing the Americans to burn through scarce supplies of Patriot interceptors.

On the fifth day, the Iranians broke through.

A missile struck prefabricated housing units at one of the bases on July 17, killing three U.S. soldiers and wounding more than 100. Pentagon officials later acknowledged that scores of other troops were injured and several aircraft damaged in attacks in Jordan that week.

“We shot down almost all the missiles,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said when asked about the fatal attack.
