@OwlInASack That's quite a detour on the conversation.

@OwlInASack After years and years of messy stuff from Iran, clearly you cannot talk rule of law with them.

@IamNobody
The war on Iraq in 2003 that killed thousands of people on both the Iraqi and US side was because Iraq was accused of possessing weapons of mass destruction. Well the whole world know that wasn't the case including the US themselves. It was a WAR FOR OIL. I wonder what it is really about now?

@TimeOutForMe I understand but also I am aware that I use/need gas for my car every day. Oit tankers and oil facilities have been disrupted recently in the hopes to hurt Western civilization. Like it or not, that's ther reality. We all need gas and at times those resources have to be protected.

@OwlInASack I think we have had enough my friend. Clearly we both see things differently. You are entitled to your point of view and I respect that. I will always expect the same courtesy.

@IamNobody your response is one of arrogance. The US controls world wide oil prices on oil they don't own. Or didn't you know that? They own an abundance of our countries minerals too. Arrogance at all costs. YOUR need for gas!!!

@TimeOutForMe I am pretty sure you need gas too.

@IamNobody I use our local fuel - Sasol and Engen.

@TimeOutForMe Just so you know, OPEC controls oil prices, not the US..

@Captain_Feelgood I should've instead said it's price is controlled by dollar currency which cripples everyone else. Thanks for pointing that out

Yes, we can always defend Trump's actions by talking Obama. If that fails maybe we can talk Hillary. BTW, let's use her e-mails and build Trump's Wall. Lately I have been increasingly worried that someone will cross over to the USA from Canada and kill me in my sleep.

@DenoPenno I'm so sorry that pointing out the obvious hypocrisy bothers you so much.

@Captain_Feelgood That is exactly how my response to you looks at your post. Be certain to throw in Bill Clinton, Bush Jr., and FDR while defending Trump. You cannot defend his actions by talking about someone else. It does not work that way and is just another diversion.

@DenoPenno Why is it so hard for you to understand that pointing to Obama is not defending what Trump did, I defend what he did with the facts about why Soleimani needed to be taken out.. Pointing out what Obama did is just pointing out your hypocrisy.

@OwlInASack Perhaps if you read it again, you'll see I didn't point out Obama's work as 'whataboutery'.. It points out your hypocrisy. I defended Obama's decision then as well..

@Captain_FeelGood. Thanks for your concern, but I will pass on the meds prescription. My mental faculties are fine....in this case it is how I view Obama's actions vs. Trumps.
One of the reliable ways to discern truth is by observing patterns. Over the last several years, I have observed Trump continuingly starting needless personal dust ups with...gold star parents... the pope... movie stars... leaders of foreign allies...deceased national heros (like John McCain)....members of the media...long standing newspapers...anyone with differing opinions. And they usually occur when he is in a bad news cycle. He clearly uses it as distraction from his misdeeds and scandals. My observations of Obama reveal not one trace of that pattern.
You do not proclaim a reputation....you earn it with your actions during your lifetime. That's why Obama's actions are assumed to be founded in good moral value (because they always have been his entire life).....And that's why Trump has no benefit of the doubt (because he has demonstrated disprespect, immorality, deception, and self-serving actions his entire life, including his presidency). If we can not trust him to believe our own intelligence agencies over Putin (the murderous thug oligarch of our long time national enemy, Russia), then how can we trust his motives on anything !!!!!!
It's one of the things that makes our heads more than a place to put our hats........learning from observation.....its not that hard.

You ignore one important fact in comparing Obama taking out Bin Ladin to Trump taking out Soleimani. Besides Iran's formidable military, they also will likely soon have the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon. You need to be careful who you piss off. It's not turning the other cheek. It's called being smart.

@Captain_Feelgood Sorry, Feelgood. This is not a debate. I won't even point out the times Soleimani helped us. I'm done.

@DenoPenno No it's not a debate, it's a discussion. And Soleimani helped get a few Taliban soldiers, who were at the time mutual enemies, after we gave them maps showing where they were... That help ended in a very short time when Bush gave his "axis of evil" statement. You act like they've been fighting them along side us for years or something.

@OwlInASack Sooo someone has to attack American soil to make you take notice? He had a hand in killing hundreds of American soldiers. That's enough for me to take action.

@OwlInASack If you're going to comment on stuff like this, at least get your facts straight. The U.S. military support to our partners there is Intel based, and to mitigate noncombatant casualties, by improving coalition processes and procedures, especially regarding compliance with the law of armed conflict and best practices for reducing the risk of civilian casualties. The final decisions on the conduct of operations in the campaign are made by the members of the Saudi-led coalition, not the United States. And so you know, the Saudis are fighting Al-Qaeda and ISIS, not civilians.. But yeah, lets not let facts get in the way of a good 'Anti Trump' idea. I'm done here. You're too far gone to reason with.

Well, not really.... in several countries there were a few protesters at American embassies for a few hours. More fringe radicals, much like we saw at protests here.

Franklin Graham then gets his Holy War

@twill, I reckon that Franklin Graham to be a politician or a weapon industry tycoon (I'm not American, not familiar with many names). I hope Trump gets impeached.

@Paddypereira no he's one of Donald's puppeteers. An evangelical

@OwlInASack, I hope this guy gets out of presidency soon.

Because we have an idiot who has replaced those around with yes men who won't tell him real shit.

@Beowulfsfriend Roger that.
