'Serious moment': Reactions pour in from Congress after Trump strikes Iran

[kyzr]

I think the exec should consult Congress and not let a foreign power and the flawed security state make war decisions, I also think Congress should seek council from the people, and that hasn't happened for a long time. The joint chiefs and the nsa has more impact on your life than any congress critter.

...and how much time would be wasted "consulting" congress?
We already know that except for Fetterman Ds vote no, Rs vote yes.
Who is the "flawed security state"?
The joint chiefs and the NSA and even the CIA know more about national security impacts than most congress critters.
There was an opportunity for a decapitation strike in Iran, and Trump took it, it worked, congratulations, now finish the job and install a government.

 

[the watcher]

My goodness, what a revelation.

We did that in 1953, and have been trying since 1979 at the urging of others. do we just keep doing it until they sign over the oil rights?

 

[Lisa558]

You’re a GD antisemite, you leftist. Your ire is targeted to the Jew, when we had the most EVIL man in the world murdering his own people by the tens of thousands, and threatening to kill every last Jew before he moved on to America.

And then you leftists ***** about people being “racist.” You’re the biggest bigots there are.

 

[Lisa558]

Yeah...I'm sure they are going to drop what they are doing and rush back to DC.

Hey did you like it when all those DEMs stood up the other night ?

View attachment 1225031

In the last few days, the Dems are telling Americans that they side with:

1) Illegal aliens over American citizens
2) The Islamic Terror Regime over innocent citizens

Anyone who votes for a Dem after what we’ve seen this week is a stark-raving, brainwashed idiot.

 

[Lisa558]

No. There has been no decapitation strike since 1979. Presidents talked about it, and threatened it, but they all stood by as the most evil empire in the world gained strength and oppressed and murdered their own citizens.

It took a man like Trump to carry it out. Thank Gd - literally - that he escaped the assassin’s bullet.

No one is going to sign over oil rights, but Iran does sit on the 3rd largest pot of oil on the planet.
So they should be able to finance their own rebirth as a secular democracy, if that's where they end up.

 

[citygator]

It is true that Iran's major underground nuclear facility was destroyed, and it is also true that Iran developed new facilities to continue nuclear weapons development. There is no inconsistency.

Sure. Trump sold the attack as the decimation of the nuclear program months ago only to attack it based on that not being true.

Optimistic. Our track record of "fixing" places is pretty dismal.

 

[JoeB131]

Biden let thousands of them in with his illegal alien surge.

And yet not one terrorist incident.

Imagine that.

I've been hearing you wingnuts scream, "There are terrorists sneaking across the border, leaving their prayer Rugs in the desert!!!"

And yet, every terrorist action committed since 9/11 has either been someone who was born here or (rarely) someone who came here on a legal visa.

 

[JoeB131]

I guess you prefer anti-American Presidents like Obama who pumped up Iran with billions and gave them exactly the nuclear agreement they wanted.

Those billions rightfully belonged to Iran, the international courts have ruled that those assets should be returned.

The nuclear agreement we had with Iran was a pretty good one. It's why Iran isn't dropping nukes on Tel Aviv today.

Your religion isn't a race, and American has no stake in who an imaginary fairy in the sky promised a strip of desert to.

Most Americans don't want a war with Iran. When the causualties start piling up, Trump is going to be a very unpopular guy.

No. There has been no decapitation strike since 1979. Presidents talked about it, and threatened it, but they all stood by as the most evil empire in the world gained strength and oppressed and murdered their own citizens.

He was shot at by one of his own deranged followers. God must have a sense of humor.

Just half of 2024 Trump voters, 50 percent, supported military action in a POLITICO poll last month — but 30 percent opposed it. Those fractures, combined with largely unified opposition from Democrats, meant Americans broadly did not want an attack on Iran.




In the January POLITICO poll, nearly half of Americans, 45 percent, said the United States should not take military action in Iran; fewer than one-third, 31 percent, said it should. An Economist/YouGov poll conducted last weekend similarly found broad public opposition to military action in Iran.

The stakes are particularly high for a Republican Party already staring down a difficult midterm landscape, where even small defections from their winning 2024 coalition could carry outsized consequences.

Keeping Iranian funds frozen was totally justified given their penchant for missile guided terrorist attacks. F--- the international courts and Obama for reanimating a weakened Iran back into the worlds' leading Terrorist nation and the leading oppressor of women. Yesterday was a great day for the Iranian people and made the world better. Of course you would hate that.

That goes without saying !

I'm curious Mikey, are you so brain-damaged from sniffing Trump's farts that you completely ignored what happened between 2001 and 2021 in the Middle East.

Did getting rid of the Tablian in Afghanistan make things better? Clearly not, as they are back in power now after Trump sould out our allies at Doha.

Did getting rid of Saddam make things better? Obviously not, since it became the breeding ground for ISIS that spread across the world.

If anything, we've probably made things a lot worse. Sure, some Iranians didn't like Khameini, but a lot more revered him as a holy man.

There's a reason why we didn't hang Hirohito at the end of World War II.

 

[Nostra]

When did this happen?

While you were stupid.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

While you were stupid.

You'll have to narrow that down, it covers decades

 

[kyzr]

Sure. Trump sold the attack as the decimation of the nuclear program months ago only to attack it based on that not being true.

Operation Midnight Hammer destroyed thousands of underground centrifuges, a fact, it is true.

That Iran built new facilities to continue nuclear weapons development is also true.

You haven't seen them get the greenlight yet, Joe. Don't count your chickens just yet...

China syndrome: Biolabs in California, Las Vegas raided by FBI tied to indicted Chinese national​

Congressional investigators allege that Zhu (also known by the aliases of Jesse Zhu, Qiang He, and David He) had significant connections to the Chinese Communist Party apparatus and allege he ran an illegal laboratory in California that housed approximately 20 types of infectious disease samples - including HIV, Tuberculosis, and the deadliest known form of Malaria. It also allegedly sold oft-counterfeit or Chinese-origin COVID-19 tests without a proper permit, the investigators said.

Thousands of vials of bio weapons, to attack humans and crops.

Its coming Joe, thanks to Biden's biggest national security disaster in history, open borders.
