Yes well it's always nice to have a few Hobbits around to put a little moral shine on your butts. Kinda like having a Canadian flag on your pack when you go abroad I guess.

The propaganda value from such a display of "revenge" is for domestic consumption. "Death to Amerika !!!

Actually the Australians are there, in Iraq... Who? The subhuman mullahs are even more intelligent than everyone else when it comes to killing, lying, deceiving and cheating and repressing but if you ask about Iranian people or military they are at least as intelligent, more courageous than the Americans. This is a statement by the UN: Today, Iran ranks fifth in the world for the number of recent graduates in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), behind only China, India, the US, and Russia. In this regard, Iran is well ahead of technological powerhouses such as Japan—which has, moreover, a population that is around 50% larger. That said read my article. I said they (the regime) purposely hit the unpopulated areas because they did not wish casualties and widening the conflict to jeopardize the well being of their rich asses while they have a comfortable life living in palaces but the rest of population live in poverty.

CITIZEN_2015 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Posted January 8, 2020 When they attacked ISIS bases in Syria last year (in retaliation for attack on IRG) with same missiles they caused significant damages and casualties but now even though Iraq bases were closer they caused none. Why? They just wanted to save face and no intention of causing casualties on Americans, Quote

No, it's what I usually say when somebody makes up their own conclusion, and the attacks that conclusion. It's called a strawman argument. You should look it up.

Why? They just wanted to save face and no intention of causing casualties on Americans, Yes which is why you saw a muted response from Trump today. Ignoring Muslim extremist terrorists won't make them go away it simply empowers them. The West has been brought up on an inspid concept from a pediatrician called Benjamin Spock who felt setting clear limits when someone was out of control was not the way to do it. His child rearing theories were proven to be erroneous. Enough already. Appeasing terrorists will not make them go poof. If you have unresolved guilt or issues about slapping a child's hand if they touch a hot stove, watch Dr. Phil. You will be fine. Edited January 8, 2020 by Rue Quote

I think a link to your definition of strawman would also be in line so we could tell wtf you're babbling about. I have no more cause to mourn Soleimani's death than I would if Trump was killed the same way. I can say that because my tongue isn't up either's butt.

You got me but mostly on a technicality, I had another tab open with Hal and between his comment on people around here siding with Iran and your's about mourning I mixed up my response. Despite that the content, gist and conclusion to what I said and why remains unchanged - there's no reason believe you and Hal don't feel the same way. If we don't pick your side we're on the other's. It's straight up crap but its how you guy's roll. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

You might have something if these signs said hands off Iran's government but they don't. Does Soleimin sound like a terrorist? He sure does to me but then so does Trump.

I have had my rants about Trump but when dealing with terrorists I think ANY US President defending the world against terrorists should be applauded so I put my partisan biases to the side on that one. I have to strongly support the US. Quote
