This was an excellent composite of the conflicting/misdirecting information coming out of the WH. Since Trump told us he is the second coming, perhaps his administration is trying to be all things to all people.

Just remember the old cliche' "Loose lips, does back flips". The contortions from confusion is how we end up with a Department of Offense instead of Defense.

Julie, does it bother you when you and Marjorie Taylor Greene agree?

Amen to everything you said. I believed what our government told us about Iraq. Of course we’d just lived through a major terrorist attack and were a nation on edge and high alert. This situation is very different. Trump is an erratic and incompetent leader. None of the people in his administration have the kind of experience that engenders trust. Who knows why Trump jumped into this strike. His diseased mind isn’t possible to figure out. One thing the media needs to hammer home is had Trump not foolishly ripped up our deal with Iran we wouldn’t be in this situation. I can’t imagine the Iranians, weakened or not, taking this attack lying down. They may wait a long time to do something or not, so all this breathless speculation by the media of what happens in the next few days is meaningless. Iran has sleeper cells in the US. It has proxies. It can wait to strike. This hasty, likely poorly thought out, attack will give Iran more resolve to further develop a nuclear program. That cloud 9 look on Bebee’s face over this attack was way too self satisfied and premature. He and Trump are both rogue, criminal leaders. The Israeli and American people will likely be the ones paying the price for this stupid attack.

The math is on my side for Iranian retaliation - even though I can see the Pentagon from my balcony and hear Taps played at Arlington Cemetery every night at sunset. The math is VERY MUCH against my side that fuckface and his admin use any Iranian retaliation as their Reichstag fire. This is because they have no soul and are genuinely evil people. So I am very worried.

Looks like we will find out very soon. Iran just engaged in a highly ineffective "retaliation" by sending a few missiles towards a US base in Qatar. It seems that they alerted Qatar about it beforehand, ensuring that all missiles would be intercepted. As of 5 pm, Rump has labeled it a "very weak" retaliation. Hopefully, he will not take the bait and retaliate.

trump had been losing the news cycle. Although he was still the center of it, it had started to get negative. I believe he did this bombing simply to get control of the cycle again. That's about as deep as his reasoning goes.
