I’m calling bull crap on Trump’s last minute order cancellation

Yeah, you have made the claim.

.... When assembling a task force to respond to a limited encounter on a single anti aircraft battery assumes minimum military casualties and has never been a consideration in the past. When we launched the MOAB on ISIS caves in Afghanistan there was never a consideration of proposed casualties and even if there were, we would have moved forward anyway.

I have every expectation that there wasn't a conversation about how many military people would be killed in the response unless it was asked.

And why are you so concerned that another attempted deception by Trump was leaked to the press? You care more about a minor bit of embarrassing information getting out than you do about your president being a pathological liar?

Trump's story definitely sounds like bull****.
Idk what the facts are.
But it sounds like the facts are notably different from the narrative Trump offered.

So what you're saying is Trump acted like he does 99.999% of the time? He brags about his accomplishments and plans, and it turns out to be complete bull****?

Yeah, that's probably what happened. It would be a very unique case if he was actually telling the truth.

Since the left can't wail about Trump getting us into a war, they have to whine about the manner in which he kept us out of one. Priceless.

:yes:
Their thought process is just a tad neurotic... :screwy

One of the only ways I think the MSM can be restored to something approach legitimacy, is to eliminate this tactic of citing "anonymous sources" when trying to create a story.

It seems the hard core Liberal Progressives buy everything negative that is sold about the President. Doesn't matter how outrageous or absurd. The rest obviously find the media to be untrustworthy and ignorable. The polls show that.


It is fascination how the string pullers on the left have formulated the recipe to sell their nonsense. My guess is they are so isolated in their zeal and encased in their subjective bubble, they have no idea how everyday American's are responding to their offensive.

Journalist rely on anonymity for their sources otherwise we wouldn't have had Watergate and Nixon's ultimate demise.

I listened to part of an interview Trump did with Chuck Todd, during which Trump described his thoughts/actions during last nights on, then off retaliatory strike against Iran for downing one of our spy drones.

Trump said that “his Generals” came to tell him that everything was ready to go for launching the operation. Trump said that he asked if there would be any human casualties, and the General told him he had to go find out and would get right back to him. A short while later, Trump said, the General came back and advised him that casualties could reach 150 dead.

The glaring irregularity in Trump’s purported story is that he wasn’t briefed at that time how many could be killed. That’s bull****. President’s are advised beforehand of that very important factor.

Was Trump trying to make himself out to be a hero?

Watch for more to come out about this.

No it's absolutely true! I believe every word trump says! I'm telling you, I happened to be in the Situation Room consulting with the the Joint Chiefs while we were planning the attack and trump was going to lead it!! Here's a demonstration video of trump's first strike on Tehran (trump's the guy in the cowboy hat):

p.s.: If you're impatient, advance to the 1:35 point of the video

Not at all. I am more entertained at how gullible Liberals are pushing out stories of secret meetings with Trump admins who breach national security protocols to provide anonymous claims from national security meetings from inside the White House.

This is why the DNC is millions in debt right now and the RNC has 33 million in cash. Its this kind of continuing idiocy that pushes donors away from the DNC. For the same reasons the NYT won't allow any of their reporters on CNN and the same reason CNN ratings are the lowest in cable news networks in history.

This is why you see 100,000 people at Trump rallies while Dem candidates are lucky to fill a high school gymnasium.

Please continue, and don't forget to have those Vagina costumes cleaned and ready to march on DC. Best entertainment I have ever seen in my lifetime.
 
This is standard Trump. Manufacture a crisis, then avert the crisis. You a hero. Repeat. Rubes love this crap.

I've hear constantly that our DP community is being invaded by members of Stormfront. Seems there might be something to that.

Rinse, repeat. Those claiming that Dems would be disappointed if he did OR didnt 'go to war' seem to think the conflict with Iran is over :roll:
 
MovingPictures said:
It's not hard to figure this out folks.

This was another reality show stunt by Trump for attention and to look tough. He gave the order with no intention of going through with it, and planned to pull out at the last minute. The stunt made him look as though he was willing to be tough on Iran, will not having to actually conduct a strike against them.

My impression (and probably Irans) was that he chickened out. When the **** got real he had no balls.
 
jnug said:
OH OK...So we walk out of the deal WE cobbled and WE signed, then sanction most of Iran's customers against doing business with them said sanctions generally adhered to though not completely and WE expect that Iran just stood there and took it. AMAZING...I swear we do in fact sound like the old Soviet Union more and more.

We raped that country along with the Brits in the 1950's. We overthrew their government as a means to get to their oil and we installed the Shah of Iran, one of the world's great tyrants but he was OK to us because he was OUR TYRANT.
Click to expand...

Anything from this century?

Iran has spent every minute of every day since they tossed that asswipe out on his tail end saying to us "Oh yea"....how does that taste now!

The JCPOA was not in and of itself a road to peace in the Middle East or even comity between Iran in the US. It was a means to start Iran back away from the deep seated hate they have for us. Now Trump has managed to take that and throw it into the ditch because he didn't understand it. It does not conform to is El Duce view of the world. So now they are literally all the way back to where they started with us BEFORE the JCPOA and 50 years before that.
Click to expand...

A crap deal without any aspect of 'trust but verify', with the Iranian conducting their own reviews / inspections and self reporting, and sold to the electorate based on a pact of fictions from a fiction writer, no less.

That the Iranians could spin up their uranium enrichment so quickly is pretty much proof they weren't complying all along.

Yes, they were/are still major supporters of Islamic Terror. You don't bring people back from the kind of hate they have for us in one mouthful.

So I will say something here that I have said in another thread. For those that want to whine and complain about the JCPOA because they don't understand it or the history of this region just as Trump does not, If you are not ready to go to war with Iran right now and prepared to justify it....SHUT UP.

All too typical from leftists, 'I don't like what you say, so I call for your silence'. Thank you, but no, I'll not comply.

I feel like I'm reading something being retold by the parents of a fat toddler opening his first Battleship game on Christmas morning.

Your problem and those of other Trump haters like you is that Trump lives rent free in your head. You are so obsessed with hatred of Trump that you would have jumped down his throat no matter what decision he had made in regards to Iran. If objectivity was money, you would not have enough to buy a cup of coffee.

I agree. However, comparing journalists from the 70's to today's pack of frauds doesn't move your argument along.

Consider how the public viewed the news business in the 70's, versus how it views it today.

How many times in recent years did the facts prove the lies and distortions presented from "unnamed sources" were nothing but complete nonsense.

Again, the only way I can think of to address this Dog Whistle/Click Bait bull that is the foundation of the media today is to change liable and slander laws.

I'm not comfortable with the infringements on the 1st Amendment via censorship the left is now engaged in. I think that is a terrible slippery slope.

You asked for expertise.
I'm asking "in WHAT".
It's a perfectly sensible question especially since I am seeking clarification from you.

Now we all know you're just a dodge lover.

Uh, no. You asked about a specific expertise. Some BS about reality TV. Which has nothing to do with the topic. So apparently it's you driving the Dodge.

You're incapable of admitting you messed up, a quality found in spoiled children.
At least when I mess up I admit it.
Carry on with the bullcrap.

Just remember, everyone else sees what you're doing.

Ok, I admit it; I messed up trying to be rational with you. I should know by now, but I thought MAYBE this time you'd be rational. . . MAN, did I mess up that one. :cool:
 
Oh look, another "last minute" cancellation. This time its the ICE crackdown scheduled to begin today according to Donald the Benevolent.

Seeing a pattern here?
