Israel launches airstrikes against Iran.

[ShahdagMountains]

Works on the job that it is our job to choose our devils.

We screwed up when British Petroleum talked the CIA into putting the Shah back into power in 1954 after a democratically elected government tried to limit his power to that of a ceremonial monarch and vote to fairly distribute the oil wealth.

Absolutely no one in Iran today, even those who hate the Ayatollahs, want a restoration of the Pahlevi Monarchy.

You looking for some sort of reaction from me to that?

Under the Shah, Iranian women enjoyed competing in Miss Iranian Competition - in which they could dress fashionably and not be hidden under oppressive clothing.

This was in 1978, the last year such a competition was allowed. By 1979, they were back to being hidden,

I am sure they were 'Mostly Peaceful'.

True, they do manage to piss people off no matter where they go.

So I have a simple solution. If America is so committed to the concept of a Jewish State, let's give them one of ours that we are barely using.

I nominate Utah. Just displace those ******* Mormons, and give that land to the Jews.

Then we'd have the MLO - Mormon Liberation Organization committing terrorist attacks.

McAllen, Texas on the border. Water and two borders and its hot. Just like Israel but with queso!

At the minimum, the U.S. will defend Israel from incoming rockets.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The party's just started, kids!

 

[Zincwarrior]

To be clear Iran started this shit. In the words of the great Abraham Lincoln: "yea, Grant go **** those guys. "

At the minimum, the U.S. will defend Israel from incoming rockets.

With Trump, there is no 'minimum', only 'maximum.'

 

[Zincwarrior]

Give that pilot a case of beer!

 

[Couchpotato]

Of course they can. Iran has no defense against Israel's F 35's but Israel has adequate defenses against Iran's missiles.

Israel doesn’t have F35s without US backing,,,,,

 

[TemplarKormac]

Well, Israel told Daddy about Iran. Iran's dead meat now!

[TemplarKormac]

Uh, as far as I can tell on SINT X channels, no Israeli airstrikes are ongoing.

Who said there were?

IAF is currently on the prow for drones.

Naw, that would require some kind of intellect going on between your ears.

Under the Shah, Iranian women enjoyed competing in Miss Iranian Competition - in which they could dress fashionably and not be hidden under oppressive clothing.

This was in 1978, the last year such a competition was allowed. By 1979, they were back to being hidden,

In short, they followed their traditions and culture, rather than the one the Shah tried to impose on them.

Given what a chauvinistic mess that beauty pageants are and were, I'm not seeing what your objection here is.

Here, honey, let's show some skin....

Oh, shit, that one used to be a man!!!

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran.
