Woohoo another perfect distraction from Minnesota activities… bob

Not sure if that came out right…. But you all get it

Someone leaked news of the pending attack to the media last night. "Loose lips sink ships".

The whining by politicians on both sides of the aisle is absurd. Would these same people have whined when the 66 hostages were taken hostage in 1979?

A world without a Islamist Iranian government committed to the death of the United States, is a better world for all. Today, we sadly learn that three soldiers have lost their lives. Some 7,000 soldiers died taking Iwo Jima, but nobody questioned our action. Some 7,000 soldiers were killed on Guadalcanal, but nobody questioned our action. UN Ambassador Mike Waltz said it correctly, "freedom is never free."

Columbia University's Pro-Palestine student group yesterday (Columbia University Apartheid Divest -CUAD) posted on X: 'Marg bar Amrika,' which means 'Death to America' in Persian. 

The post was deleted, but the student group posted a follow-up that said: 'X forced us to delete our “marg bar amrika” tweet in order to gain back access to our account but the sentiment still stands.'

Geez. When I was young, they would all have been summarily arrested and jailed.

No. Russia and China won't do any more for Iran than some diplomatic talk. Russia and Iran have a history of disagreements....Iran cheated Russia on some deals. Iran and China are merely business friends, call it friends of convenience, because Iran had a good price on crude oil, refined gasoline and diesel. China goes with whomever has the best deal on oil......no brand loyalty there.

"Only one in four Americans approves of the U.S. strikes"

Fake news. I say fake, because everyone I've asked supports the action. Iran is viewed as a dark cloud that has hung over the world since 1979. It has threatened to destroy America for 47 years. Reuters and AP must be owned by Democrats.

I don’t support the strikes and I bet the family members of the Americans killed don’t either. I suspect you have a sampling bias.

Of course you don't.  I could have bet money on it!

This didn’t begin Friday.

Carter started it.

He watched the Islamic Republic take power, watched American diplomats get seized and paraded on television for 444 days, spent the rest of his presidency negotiating with people who had already told us exactly what they were.

Reagan facilitated it.

October 23rd, 1983. A Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept. The deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Reagan’s response? Tehran was heard clearly and never forgotten kill enough Americans at once and America will leave.

That lesson became the operational blueprint for every Iran-backed proxy attack for the next forty years.

Clinton ignored it.

1995 — a car bomb in Riyadh kills five Americans.

1996 — Khobar Towers. A massive truck bomb kills 19 United States Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. Nothing.

1998 — Embassy bombings in Africa.

2000 — USS Cole. Seventeen sailors killed. Clinton launched missiles at an empty training camp and an aspirin factory. Eight years. Hundreds of Americans dead or wounded. Zero consequences for Tehran.

Bush handed them the keys.

He called them the Axis of Evil correctly. Then invaded two countries simultaneously and handed Iran the greatest strategic gift in its history. Iranian Quds Force operatives flooded across the border funding, training, and arming the militias killing our soldiers.

And the response was to continue the war while avoiding direct confrontation with the country killing our people.

By the time Bush left office Iran had deeper influence in Iraq than we did.

Obama funded it.

This is where failure becomes unforgivable. The Green Revolution of 2009 where millions of Iranians in the streets begging for American support ignored.

The protesters were crushed. The regime survived. Then came the $150 billion in sanctions relief, sunset clauses that expired within a decade, zero restrictions on ballistic missiles, and zero restrictions on funding proxy terror networks.

Then came the cash. $1.7 billion. On pallets. On an unmarked plane. In the middle of the night. Delivered simultaneously with American hostages.

The regime used the imagery as propaganda for years and used the money to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi expansion in Yemen, and the proxy militia networks in Iraq and Syria that spent the next decade killing Americans.

Obama literally funded the apparatus that put the drone into Tower 22.

Biden surrendered to it.

160-plus attacks on American forces from October 2023 forward. American soldiers killed in Jordan. Two Navy SEALs lost at sea intercepting Iranian weapons shipments to the Houthis.

Houthi missiles disrupting global shipping lanes.

Iranian proxies running operations across five countries.

Three Georgia soldiers died in their beds.

Then came Trump.

He looked at forty-five years of this record and did something no president had done since the hostages came home.

He said no.

Maximum pressure. IRGC designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Sanctions reimposed. The JCPOA abandoned. Soleimani the architect of Iranian proxy violence across the entire Middle East, personally responsible for hundreds of American deaths killed in a precision strike in January 2020.

The regime paralyzed.

The proxies recalibrated. The nuclear program set back. For the first time in four decades the regime faced a president it genuinely could not predict.

Then Trump left office. Biden came in. The pressure evaporated. The appeasement resumed. And the regime, patient as it has always been, went back to work.

And now we’re here.

So the next time someone tells you this is Trump’s war tell them they are brainless twats.

This isn’t Trump’s war.

This is forty-five years of American presidents refusing to finish it and one president finally deciding that the bill comes due.

If you are not capable of comprehending that move to Iran and defend the regime personally.
