It was a long time coming. All those things happened AFTER Trump pulled the plug on an international deal, imposed crushing sanctions on Iran which is brutal to their citizens. Trump has no real strategy, he literally simply wanted to undo an Obama accomplishment that was working. Hey, do you know how we all know it was working? Just ask me, I'll tell you.

sherpa Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 41 minutes ago, Tiberius said: So you think we should have attacked and killed their leaders sooner? Years ago? They have been waging war on us--our occupation forces in Iraq and against our good friends the Saudis, so what is it you want done? All out war with Iran? You used the word inevitable, so where does it end? They have been waging war on us and others since 1979. If you don't know this, you are ignorant. It has been a "shooting war" for decades. To not know this is to be completely ignorant of history. By the way, stop speculating on "what I want." You have no idea, and your theories are preposterous. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because Obamas plan was working! The Iranians were once close to the bomb and we unleashed stuxnet on them. That was done before trump and the damage done by that far exceeds what we just did. Anyways, I dont think any of us want another war but at some point you have to take a stand. Time will tell how this plays out for sure. 1 minute ago, DC Tom said: No, you ***** moron.

Funny too..at the time, his full-time job was prosecuting murders for DOJ. When he was activated, the Army put him in charge of mass graves registration in Iraq. Naturally, because of his job, he was a perfect fit...so after about four months, the Army moved him out of that billet into passport processing, presumably on the grounds that he was actually qualified to do mass graves registration.

I got along fine with them even though they had more privilege than me. I'm sure their world got turned upside down in 1979. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 9 minutes ago, DC Tom said: We have been at war with Iran since 1979. Sherpa's fired shots in it, as I recall. Nope. Never fired. I got the first intercept of an Iranian hostile after the embassy. Launched of Kitty Hawk and got a com to connect with the E2, early warning aircraft. They linked me to an intercept of an Iranian P3 who was closing on the ship, at 200 miles. Tapped him at 150 miles, and showed him my missiles, two heaters,with the appropriate hand signals, telling him that if he threatened the task force I would kill him. Task Force commander, aboard Kitty Hawk at the time, said that if he gets within 50 miles, I was going to get a cleared to fire, or if they open any doors on the bottom. The speculation was that they had Harpoon, and anti ship missile we had sold them, and that was a reasonable range to eliminate the threat. He closed to 45 miles, my missiles were locked, and I asked for a cleared to fire, and they said no. P3 got to 30 miles, and I said that since it was so close, I would first take out the missile as it dropped, and then the airplane. The guy turned away at 25 miles. I often wonder what would have happened if I simply shot him and claimed an aggressive action within the rules of engagement. North Indian Ocean. Nobody would have known Glad I didn't, 'cause I'm a good guy. 4 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
