George Conway blasted President Trump and called for him to resign from office after he walked back a planned military strike against Iran in response to the downing of a U.S. surveillance drone.

“Trump didn’t realize UNTIL TEN MINUTES BEFOREHAND that a planned airstrike would kill over a hundred people and would therefore be grossly disproportionate to the loss of a UAV?” Conway, lawyer and husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, tweeted Friday. “To say this is amateur hour would defame amateurs.”

"Resign. If you didn’t know this until it was almost too late, you’re even more of an idiot than people think you are," Conway tweeted in response to Trump. "Do the country and the world a favor. Go back to real estate, where the worst you can do is kill banks."

Conway’s comments came after Trump confirmed via Twitter that the U.S. had been "cocked and loaded" to retaliate against Iran, but that he called off the mission at the last minute after learning that 150 Iranians would die.

1. Not to mention he doesn't know it's 'sites' ... not 'sights' ...

How does the CiC of the US Military n0t kn0w h0w t0 pr0perly spell 'sites'?

5. Not Just That

It is flying "over" international waters, not "in" international waters. He could have also said "in international airspace", but he didn't.

9. Good catch!

He's an idiot, clearly ...

6. LOL

the thing I like best about this entire clusterfuck, is that Bolton--who's unholy grail for decades has been war with Iran--came this close to achieving it...and tRump bailed.

I am ROFLMFAO. With any luck at all, he will show his displeasure with the yellowtail in chief and get his warmongering ass fired.

7. Who told Trump to do that? WHO is giving him this kind of advice? BOLTON???? Who?

If we responded with killing a hundred Iranians, that would probably mean WAR. They wouldn't stand for it, any more than we would.

10. Was Trump even in the chain of command for this proposed operation? Doesn't sound like it

I think Frum is asking the right question.

12. I don't know, I'm kind of liking George Conway.

At least he's an enemy of our enemy (or appears to be one) and he's pretty amusing. He hasn't said anything that I have objected to yet.

I am just really curious as to what his relationship with Kellyanne is like. The whole thing just baffles me.

13. TRUMP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT KILLING BROWN PEOPLE

LOOK AT THE BORDER
