Trump leans away from striking Iran: ‘How did going in Iraq work out?’

‘ACT OF WAR,’ NOW WHAT?: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated the obvious yesterday, referring to last week’s drone and cruise missile attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure as “an act of war.” Generally speaking, any time one country deliberately targets and bombs another, it is considered an act of war.

But five days after the attack, there is no clarity about whether Iran will be blamed directly, what will be done about it, and who will do it. Pompeo spoke to reporters en route to Saudi Arabia to consult with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about “deterring,” not attacking, Iran.

“We are working to build out a coalition to develop a plan to deter them. And this is what needs to happen,” Pompeo said.

MORE SANCTIONS: As Pompeo was in Saudi Arabia conferring with the crown prince, President Trump was announcing more economic pressure on Tehran. “We’ll be adding some very significant sanctions onto Iran. … We’ll be announcing it over the next 48 hours,” Trump said and then added his standard disclaimer: “We’ll see what happens.”

Hummm! If I were planning to do something would I tell the media I was planning to do it?  I don't think so.

I didn't expect the Rand Paul effect to crop up so soon.

Amazing. That was exactly my first thought too. What would I say if I was planning a strike?

This isn't Imam Hussein Obama. Trump is not going to notify the Muslims weeks in advance exactly what America is planning to do, when, where, how many troops, everything. That doesn't happen anymore under Trump.

Trump and his administration does not, "Stand with the Muslims", as Hussein Obama did.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Nah, doubt it.  He's having a little disagreement with Lindsey Graham over the issue.

Well you haven't been reading the news too much.  Trump was going to have to Taliban to Camp David.  And he was considering easing the sanctions on Iran according the French Presidents plans.

    Some here would rather you think that Bolton was the problem as opposed to part of the solution.

That's some kind of office.  Not even a spot for that poor plant.  Maybe it was the storage closet converted.

   I'm sure most Briefers got the movie reference @Chosen Daughter but I'm equally certain that no one caught the analogy of the 'stapler guy' bailing everyone out of a Federal 'pound me' sentence.  I'd much rather have Gen. Kelly there right now to further his quest to get Jared and Ivanka out of the President's ear.

Never saw it if you can believe that.  But I didn't take it seriously and figured it was photo shopped.

So how did Iraq work out?
It didn't and for a simple reason.
IT WAS THE WRONG TARGET!!!
Our mortal enemy in the Middle East has
been Iran since the fall of Shah Reza Pahlavi!!!
But Buffoon Bush was POTUS and the rest is history.
