This is our fault. Iran warned us ahead of time, in order to avoid injuries.
Now, these injuries are going to be used as fodder to try to push us into another strike.

do you mean President Trump might have been wrong when he said it wasn't anything serious just headaches he's seen worse? Garsh darn

[B-Tender]

I'll wait for more info. TBI could be anything from a mild concussion to a piece of shrapnel piercing your brain.

[Charliesheen]

How would Trump know? Would he just assume? Or did somebody tell him no injuries, or maybe no serious injuries.

Trump needed to downplay it because he pussied out and backed down from the threats he was making the day before.

The issue is bigger than this. Because of our mistake, we might be goaded into another strike.

[AnalHamster]

It wasn't a mistake, it was a lie chump told you because he was pussying out of his threats. He could be goaded into another strike by someone on fox news or twitter, but it won't be because there was a mistake. Other than the initial act of war against Iran, and welching on the nuclear deal.

Trump certainly didn't pussy out. We let Iran save face, but in the eyes of the world they were clearly spanked. Now, because of this, we might have to attack again. Hoping it's nothing, for the sake of the troops, and for world peace. Would hate to have to attack them again.

He stated he would commit war crimes if Iran responded. Iran responded by attacking a US base with missiles fired from Iran, as clear an act of war as the assassination of their general, which injured US personnel. It is simply a fact that Trump pussied out, he said he'd respond if they did anything and he did not. There was no need to attack them in the first place, the chump excuses for the sudden massive escalation all fell apart. You are completely out of touch with the facts out here in reality.

No offense but did we really spank Iran? I don't think murdering one asshole is a spanking. It wasn't even on Iran soil. Using a shotgun on a gnat really doesn't seem to be tough guy stuff

I think killing their #1 bad guy is quite a spanking, and loosens their control on their own people as well as the terrorism community as a whole. It showed them to be vulnerable. And made them vulnerabler.

No, it is you who are out of touch. The world as a whole knows what happened. Their attack was meant to be a face saving gesture. There weren't supposed to be any troops in harms way. Had it been a sneak attack and we had real carnage, we would have retaliated massively.
Now, forces we have not yet identified (or I haven't because I wasn't paying attention), want this to come back again.

They attacked a US military base with missiles fired from Iran, it was an act of war and injuries to the US troops cowering in bunkers were pretty much inevitable. Trump a day before had declared that if they responded at all he'd bomb cultural sites in Iran, then he caved. The world as a whole does indeed know what happened, but you are clearly struggling with it.

What part of what I said do you think you can deny?

You're trolling. Clearly. But don't worry, we may strike back.

OK, so none. Which is why you won't strike back, and why chump pussied out and accepted them committing a blatant act of war in attacking a US base and injuing US personnel. The grownups got to him, and gave him a spanking for his petulant little hissy fit, and you'll just excuse anything and everything no matter how contradictory even to the words he himself said the day before, because he's your hero. Fair enough, but don't try and pretend you're actually thinking for yourself about anything because that just doesn't compute.

How convenient that all of our adversaries are terrorists. Were they terrorists when helping drive ISIS out of Iraq and Syria?
Or were they granted temporary non terrorist designations?

[Charliesheen]

Yep.

Supporting one side over another will yield unpredictable results. Time to step back and let the Shia and Sunni open up on each other again. There's good money to be made doing so.

They were terrorists when they started firing at our troops, and attacking our embassies.

Actually you don't, you keep doing this sad little thing where you begin to say something, realise you lack the intelligence to respond to my reply and then have a little temper derple. It's pretty tedious. Just don't reply in the first place if you are too pathetic to follow through and actually address what I say, you big baby.

He unilaterally assassinated a highly ranked Iranian military leader, in Iraq, also killing a couple dozen Iraqi's. Iran responds by warning the US that it was going to launch a few missiles that were to strike near, but not at American military bases in Iraq. Those strikes caused some headaches to some Americans who didn't get evacuated, and somehow your fucking country, who started the entire fucking thing, would need to retaliate? Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit. Trump is a spineless cunt, who lied to get out of serving in the military. If anyone is the king of pussies, it's the fucking retard running your country.

And what are you when when you launch bombing campaigns that kill innocent civilians in those counties? No, you're not terrorists when you attack people in their own countries, are you? If you don't want your fucking troops shot at in the Middle East, get them the fuck out of the Middle East. One of the campaign promises of the fuck head running your country, was that he was going to start bringing troops home. He hasn't done that, and in some cases, sent more troops to the Middle East.

My statement "would hate to have to attack them again" was clearly meant to indicate the enormous pressure Trump would be under from Americans and American pols to retaliate.

Trump's service is not relevant, as he is not a warmonger.
