So we just continue to allow him to kill Americans and plan attacks on US Embassies?
That has nothing to do with it, I have praised him in the past (for the strike Syria), as I said there was a reason past administrations have declined to take this action.........With the sanctions in place on Iran, their Government was under a lot of pressure from the citizens, now they are united against us. Our allies are backing off , not supporting this move. Contrary to what you might want to believe, short of using nuclear weapons, we do not have the capability to defeat Iran without the help of those allies , while maintaining vital security elsewhere . I am all for taking out terrorist, I will applaud any administration who does, but , most terrorist are not associated with any specific country.
The Iran citizens are united against the US? Yeah, no, that's not the case. Are you intentionally lying or just not informed?
Why does the US need to "defeat" Iran? I'm pretty sure the goal is to provide adequate deterrent to some specific behavior, not invade and overthrow the government.
Well, strangely enough, Qasem Soleimani was a terrorist associated with a country. That proved fatal for him. Wherefore but had Soleimani not been the head of a terrorist organization, he would probably still be alive.
Because we have obligations around the world we have to defend, they have only their country...........We could sure hit them hard enough to make them stop, but we could not actually win a war in the normal sense.
Considering the protests against us are 100 times larger than their protests against their government a few weeks ago, I would say they are well on their way to become united.......
The alternative is an endless war, which is exactly what this administration says it will not engage in..........we hit them , they hit us, we hit them back....it will never end.......
So, now the Iranian people may not be totally united against us? What happened to "now they are united against us?"
Are you aware of what happens when Iranians protest their own government? Iranians in Iran and around the world are celebrating Soleimani's death.
So you think more Iranians, in Iran, are celebrating his death than are protesting the US?
I don't have to "think" that. The information is out there. Turn off Rachel Maddow and CNN and do some reading. And you might keep in mind that Iranians aren't a free people. They can be killed by the regime for openly celebrating Soleimani's death. The Iranian government controls the internet and the media.
this was not tit for tat
Very true. The Iranian people were counting on support from Obama like he had shown to other Arab Spring movements but he left them high and dry in favor of kissing mullah ass to get his "signature" foreign policy achievement. Ironically, he ended up supporting the attempted Islamization of countries like Libya, Egypt, and Syria by supporting Islamic terrorist groups while he shunned the westernized Iranian people.
Is that the same Ben Rhodes that admitted that he crafted a completely dishonest narrative to sell to the media about the Iran deal to get the American people to support it? Why does he think anyone cares what he thinks?
