Oh c'mon man, he was in Paris looking for his missing medals. 

 

i think he is so clueless that he believed he could start his nomination speech with a military salute and think it wouldn't be an issue  :D

Trump is playing his 5D chess again. he is really putting them in an awkward position. i don't think the Iraqi's are stupid enough to really want us to leave. as the referendum they passed earlier was non-binding and as such, merely symbolic in my estimation. they have to know that if we leave, they are essentially handing the country over to Iran.

 

plus there is also another factor to consider here... if we leave, we ruin any route we currently have to Syria.

 

...so is it Trump's fault or Iran's "best 'n the brightest"?.....and we're gonna change this mentality?......

Soleimani funeral stampede in Iran leaves at least 56 dead, state TV reports

 

 

At least 56 Iranians were crushed to death Tuesday in a stampede that erupted during the funeral for Qassem Soleimani, the general killed last week in a U.S. airstrike, the country’s state media is reporting.

The gory episode in Soleimani's hometown of Kerman, which also reportedly left more than 200 injured, came as the U.S. Maritime Administration is warning ships across the Middle East to be on alert for possible retaliatory attacks from Iran.

“Unfortunately as a result of the stampede, some of our compatriots have been injured and some have been killed during the funeral processions," Pirhossein Koulivand, the head of Iran’s emergency medical services, told state media.

Unconfirmed: Sr Iraqi commander killed tonight in the attack -- that will be interesting to track. 

 

It would be funny if it's a commander who couldn't get a seat in Suleimani's car on Friday.

...so should we vacate the Middle East and let the warring religious factions thin their own herd?......what is our benefit to stay in an unchanged theater of 50-100 years?.....

Hate to put it this way, but historically every once in a while, Islam needs a beat down to remind them they are not the center of the universe.

From the Crusades (which they started btw) to the Barbary Coast Wars (Shores of Tripoli and all), to the "Desert Fox (Rommel) they pop their heads out of a sand dune, scream obscenities and threaten the world to bow down to Islam. Once beat down they tend to lay low for a while but that beat down is way overdue

 

Our generation turn began in 1979 and is still going today because some idiot decided war should be civilized.  Since then we have had this "nice" discussion with people who only want us dead, or subjugated. Some people like me, have a score to settle with Iran, you see, I was in the Marine Corps when Carter had us stand down. I told my wife the other day it was time for me to get back into shape in case this POTUS calls up we older Marines, and lets us go settle that score. And I am not alone in this.... SFMF!
