Certainly not in one go. I’m not sure that doesn’t mean  we should not try. We are the only ones who have the planes and the bombs to even attempt this.

Tell me something is that supposed to MEAN a damn thing that Trump didn't have anything to do with Planning and execution of the attacks?  

Are you fucking kidding me James?  This is something you came up with trying to denigrate the military action by saying the obvious that NO President would be involved in military operations as if he's doing the timing and coordination of a military operation? 

Do you think that Joe Biden would have something to do with any military operation around the globe?

How about Bill Clinton, or even George Bush?  Do you really think any of these guys did the planning and execution and the precise timing of any of their operations? 

Do you realize just how petulant and fucking ridiculous and stupid you sound James when you make such ignorant comments about Trump as you do continuously?  

Do you realize what a complete idiot you sound like pointing out facts like the above?

Tell me, do you think Barack Obama figured out the game plan when the Military specialists took out Osama Bin Laden??  

Are you really this absurd James?

Do you think that Obama personally coordinated with the men who took him down?  Do you think he was on the horn with the guys in the room that did that operation?  

You've made some foolish, ignorant, and yes, ASININE statements in the past, but this one takes the cake!  

No SHIT Sherlock.  Do you really think that any President would be involved in the planning and execution of this attack on the Iran sites?  

Umm.... EARTH to James.  That is why the military has those guys who are elevated in stature..... what do they call those guys again.....Hmmmm...... Oh yeah, they are called Generals and Colonels, and lt. colonels.

My God TDS is surely alive and well in your head...

And the rest of your posting is just more of your usual BS.  LOL

This is a good point, Rod, since as I recall Rich and many other right-wing MAGA types were blaming Biden for everything that went badly during the Afghanistan withdrawal, and also conveniently ignoring that Biden was simply honoring the troop withdrawal timeline that was brokered by, you guessed it, Trump under the DOHA agreement. And it's far too early to think that this military strike against Iran was wildly successful. Sure, we rolled back their program for a decade or so, maybe less. But we'd have to be pretty gullible to think that Iran didn't have a backup plan for Fordow. It's entirely possible they moved their stockpile to a new location and are currently enriching more uranium as fast as they can. And what are we to do in that case? Are we going to go back in and militarily strike Iran every decade or so, every time we think they have gotten a bit closer? Maybe, just maybe, the JCPOA agreement should have not been unilaterally withdrawn from by Trump in 2018 and we wouldn't be in this current situation. The IAEA was certifying that Iran was abiding by the deal, even as late as 2019. Iran didn't abandon the deal entirely until Trump ramped up his "maximum pressure," sanctions. European countries were willing to remain in the JCPOA, but Iran was not, and who can blame them after what must have felt like to them a betrayal? It's almost like Trump is not a great deal-maker and negotiator, but hey, at least we have the Gulf of America and Mount McKinley back.

Speaking of things we won't know for a while, do you all think the cease fire brokered and bullied into existence by Trump will stick?  So far it looks good, but again, we won't know for a long time.  I will say if this cease fire sticks, this will have to be considered Trump's best week in office so far.  I'm not naive enough to think his opponents will give him any credit, but still this is about as good a "next couple days" after the bombing as anyone could have hoped for.

The markets think so too!

I'm still waiting for you response.  Can you explain your seeming hypocrisy about that, and/or attempt to explain what the difference was when Obama didn't get Congressional approval to take action in Libya, Syria, Yemen, and a number of other nations? 

Did you want to explain that or did you want to remain a totally inconsistent person on that issue?
