They haven't voted on any other war or military action in over 80 years. Why start now?

Pretty sure you need to learn to read. Iran has pissed off every one in the middle east over the last week. This isn't Iraq, Iraq was a boondoggle of epic proportions the never should have happened. No we aren't safer because our idiot govt imported millions of those goat ******* after telling us we were fighting them over there so we wouldn't have to fight them over here. If you think neutering Iran and it's proxies only benefits Israel you haven't been paying attention to the middle east for the last 47 years.
Because, like, the constitution and stuff.
They voted on Iraq, though. Just not an actual Declaration of War. And most of them wound up regretting it, but at least they voted.
Congress authorized the liberation of Kuwait, too. And Vietnam.

And we can't get our liquor to make us relax. MS in cahoots with Iran? Our Ayatator needs to get **** fixed!
This is a Congress whipping up concerns about sleeper cell attacks while simultaneously refusing to fund DHS.
Lets say some of us havent had reason to recently pay attention to a random former athlete. Fill us in, please.
Nope, you are wrong- your listed years are way off. Couldnt possibly be between '21 and '23 because oil was hated during those years.**

Oh I know this one!
Two wrongs dont make a right.
Just because something was improperly done in the past does not justify it being improperly done in the present or future.
But, two Wrights make an airplane.
Urea went up $100 a ton in one days time earlier this week.....Not good for those planting corn...and its about to go up more
Wife nagged me to book our vacation flights last month but I wanted to play price chicken. Glad I listened to her.
We should start a SPS piss collective. Could be big.
Are we going to find out what Tebow has to do with the Strait of Hormuz?
Numerous things can be true at the same time - (1) Iran has been the prime troublemaker in the Middle East for almost 50 years, (2) Iran has recently been weakened to the point that we are presently at a point in time where attempting to weaken them further and bring about a positive regime change might be worth the effort, risk, and short-term problems, and (3) our Government and Administration has/can/will completely **** up the strategic and political aspacts of it. All of that can be true.
@JackShephard - good to see that you are also sad face emojid over how these promises have not come true. We should all be sad face emoijd.
I hope things change soon and everything that was promised to happen so quickly over a year ago actually happens. It would for sure turn that sad face emoji of yours into sweat drops and eggplant.

No doubt. Would have been much better politically to wait until mid terms, although it may help the next presidential election if they are successful in toppling the regime (which I think is a certainty if we want to do it) and something better fills the void (much less certain, although it is a pretty low bar).
I know Iran hasn't killed that many US citizens with the terrorism it sponsors, but it would still be beneficial to us if that dropped to zero. But more importantly, I think it benefits us tremendously for Iran to not have a nuclear weapon.
I don't think Trump will lose very many people that would be inclined to vote for him if there are no boots on the ground and we are done in the next month or so.
Man, you really missed the chance to gloat about having a tesla there. Are you ok?
So gas is getting a lot more expensive because Trump is trying to distract us from the fact that he's covering up all the evidence that and his friends 17ed children. Awesome.
Withdrawing with accomplishing nothing more than destroying their navy and nuclear facilities is a small W. It would not be a terrible thing if murderous oppressive regimes around the world knew we would come kill them personally if they attack the US or the interests of the US. There is always the concern that regimes will get worse and worse after they are toppled, but that seems to be sort of academic nonsense (it will usually be bad because that's the human condition, but not necessarily worse) and also focused on the wrong thing (I think the US should be satisfied as long as successors don't wage war against or sponsor terrorism against the US).
I think Trump is doing the things he thinks he needs to do now, BEFORE the midterms, because there is a good chance that Republicans will lose the House and decent chance they lose both the House and the Senate after the midterm elections. After that, we will just have gridlock for Trump's last 2 years and he won't be able to do much of anything.
Congrats on being the dumb **** to get the thread locked by posting ignorant ****
“Positive” regime change in the Middle East? Good luck with rhat.
What's ignorant about what I posted? And who gives a sm17 if it gets locked? Y'all will just start another thread with the same ****.
Gahdammit Der we are trying to have a geometry discussion here. Why are you locking it?
I guess my thought is the endpoint after each turn is next intersection and that would put you behind where you were. But I see where the concept of continuing on the path after the 3rd left would put you right of your original orientation.
