I'm not in favor. This is a crisis of tRumps own making. CentralMass Jun 2019 #1

They leaked the pullback and then Trump gets to tweet out his faux benevolence.

It's definitely a good thing the strike was canceled.

It's a bad thing that our government is so obviously run by jackasses.
(That's an insult to jackasses, but the terms I'd like to use are much more blue).

The whole thing is a colossal mess entirely of Trump's making and we are all ashamed to have such an idiot for a President. No one here suggested that we start bombing Iran. Not at all.

I'm tickled to think how apoplectic Bolton must be right now. He finally wormed himself into a position where he could start the war of his dreams only to be kneecapped right before it started.

Rather, I think people are flabbergasted that we have such an incompetent jackass in power.

too fearful to follow through on his bellicosity. He knows he is full of shit. The only time he will act is when Putin demands the act be done.

Yes, he could very well blow us all up at any time, is what we're saying. Surely the o.p. doesn't believe we're rooting for him to do it.

If all the Republican and Democratic politicians were in favor of it, I would still be against bombing Iran.
