A better way would be to do it with respect for their humanity, with due process, and with public transparency. "Quickly" is the least important thing here. Literally absolutely everything else is more important. Unless you prefer that we run the USA like China does their country. I'm not in favor of that. In the US, we've always done it better. I'd like to think we still can. (Too bad ICE is ruining that.)

No. You're 100% right. You fools appear to be unaffected by logic, rational thought, and anything that resembles wisdom. Cool. (Aside - Husker, why do you insist on creating this fictional group of fools? We have enough real ones here.)

Oh, Bless your heart.

Agreed - we have different perspectives on this issue. I do not agree with yours. Specifically: "Iran WAS building nuclear weapons." - this is, in no way, a fact. Per recent US Intelligence: Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program earlier this year. The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels. "Hamas, Hezbollah, the attack on Israel that set everything off. It's...all starting in Iran." - No evidence. These groups that run middle eastern countries are more like a bunch of connected mob bosses than anything else. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Ayatollah - do govern, but don't represent the citizens. To say it "started in Iran" is nonsense. Warlords and terrorist organizations have lorded over these countries for many decades. What ails the middles east is their existence. But to pinpoint that existence to Iran is ignorant. "Iran WANTS us dead." They will hit back, they were going to hit back anyway, but their military is pathetic relatively speaking. They are impotent. They can't do anything. Here is where you're again wrong. Iranian citizens don't want us dead. But the proxies the Iranian government employs absolutely do. It's not the Iranians, it's the Houthi's, etc. Iran has a significant amount of military weaponry at their disposal. Much like the US has been the supplier of weapons to the west - Iran has been a major supplier to the east. They are nowhere near impotent. Those they have been supplying to are being very vocal at the moment to defend Iran (ex: Russia.) "I thought this was the right move." I disagree. Just own it when we find you are wrong. I'll do the same. "he's not going to take out the Ayatollah" He's not going to do anything that isn't served up to him on a silver platter by people who already made the hard decisions. Because he's a mush brain who isn't capable of any independent decision making - just following those he thinks he can trust (like Putin, at least at one point.) If someone talks to him the right way... he'll do something neither of us could imagine. "Israel should stop at this point, but this just isn't the massive military engagement it's being made out to be." Have you not been paying attention to what N'yahoo has been saying? Now that I think about it - you must not be paying attention. Israel isn't looking to cut and run. They're in it for the long haul. Read more. Think more. This is exactly the massive military engagement it is being made out to be. WW3 is a stretch, but not by much. "Will it draw the US into a protracted Miltary Engagement? I don't think so..." The US is committed at this point. We won't be "drawn in" - we already drew ourselves in. That is done. You must be young and full of positive energy to not see the sorry spot we're in. The truth is that this situation has all the earmarking's of a long, ugly, and potentially devastating event. Who will it be "devastating" to? That remains to be seen. But as is always in war, nobody wins, everybody loses. And it's all started by those with the least to lose.

Unfortunately, this one goes into the Hall of Fame of Most Desperate and Sad of all time. Reflects power? No. Reflects strength? No. Reflects intelligence? No. Reflects rational thought? No. Reflects the oldest US President ever elected with mush for brains who thinks he can fake his way through it? Yes.

Trumps "approval rating"!? If Trump were to "easily" pull support for Israel - we'd be looking at the first very near zero rating ever. The Orange Liar put himself between a rock and a uranium place. Putin played him, N'yahoo played him, and even the war hawks in our military played him (and his dope appointee Hegseth.) Trump had a full chessboard in front of him, but he didn't know how to play. It was a bad choice for him to fake it. As said earlier... Trump's nearly 80 year old mush brain really put the US in a bad spot. I'm hoping for the best. We will see soon enough.

All of the ones he did... at the time. Same for GHW. Same for Clinton. Same for GW. Etc. etc. I don't play favorites. BUT we're living in the here and now. As interesting as history is, we've got a whole lot of bad on our hands right now - happening based on the actions the current administration is taking right now. Not a great time for serious people to try to bring up old political BS talking points. That'd be the wrong focus.

True. Can't argue with that. We shall see soon enough. Hope it's not another forever war in the making - that'd be bad all the way around.

As a fancy boy trying to give me homework... look it up yourself. Here's a link: Merriam-Webster: America's Most Trusted Dictionary

You mean if they don't actually engage in a cease fire? That choice? I do believe they easily have that one (among others.)

No matter how bad you are, you'll always try to pass yourself off as being good. But you'll only fool the foolish.

Well, la-di-da, aren't you a fancy boy. Don't get your hands dirty, or risk getting a blister. Real manual labor can do that to a man. You might break a nail.

It might be a good thing if it wasn't just another Trump lie. This time Trump is desperately trying to spin the fact that he just stepped into giant pile of poo. He was manipulated like a child by real world leaders. Not a peep from either Israel or Iran. They aren't playing along.

Wait... you "have someone clear your driveway of snow". WTF!? Are both your arms and legs broke? Here I thought little 'JimmySpanks' was at least half a man. Disappointing.

Not true at all ma' boy. Not true at all. And a terrible attempt at funny, too. You must be new at humor. If you haven't ever experienced humor - best to leave it to others. You're bad at it.

Hey Husker Du, how are you doing? You can take the boy out of Jersey - but you can't take Jersey out...

Now that's solid advice. I'm impressed that you listened to me. Keep it up, and you'll continue to learn more.

That looks exactly like a post from a 3rd grader. An angry little bugger who doesn't have the intelligence or language skills to turn his emotions into words. Don't settle for that. Chin up. Chest forward. Time to attack your limited language skills head on. Take more time to post (it isn't a race) and put more thought into it (intelligence matters.) Use your words. Whenever you are doing one of these things... xxxxxxxxxxxxxx hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh tttttttttttt... You need to remember that you're simply being an idiot with the mentality of a 3rd grader. Everyone else here already sees it that way. There's a reason you're the only one who does it.

Hey yippy little dog. Some things yes, some things not so much, some not at all. You're going to have to be more specific. The real question is if you care or not. If you care, read the posts and ask a serious question. Don't just post garbage.

Hey yippy little dog. I didn't.

Not my words. Again, pay attention if you don't want to be a worthless yippy little dog here. My words said specifically that I didn't care about his "king" speech. It's all in the posts if you want to bother reading any of it - which you seem to have no interest in.

I'm used to reading your dumb posts. But these are monumentally stupid. Scooter was replying to my post with (2) questions directed to me. I read his post and answered both his questions. The first was a clarification that he asked about The second pointed out that I didn't care at all about the 2nd question We call this an online discussion. Which is the entire point of an online forum. (Read the whole thread, understand what is happening, and then think before you post. If you don't want to bother understanding what is happening - then don't bother posting. You're like a freaking hyperactive yippy little dog.)

How would I know if I cared about a post or not... unless I read it and formed my opinion first?

Is that some kind of euphemism? Oh no, no, no. I won't be weeding your garden.
