who is calling it a war.

Monty Python and The Two Ronnies if they were still around.

Or maybe Alice In Wonderland II (and there would be several fine contenders for both the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter roles...)

Eric Idle, Lyn Ashley, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and John Cleese are still with us. Just those alone would be awesome, and don't completely count them out from doing a satire on today's U.S. political system.

were still around.

...if they wanted to revive Monty Python.

The only limitation is, they're getting up there in years and might not have motivation to do so.

Their word-play skits in particular are hilarious - the best ever IMO. You can find them on YouTube.

So, Mike is there a 'limit' to the number of dead soldiers in this 'operation' or is the sky the limit?

To completely conquer Iran, the USA would have to put at least 100,000 boots on the ground, MINIMUM. The real number would probably be more like a million.

How's that for a "limited" operation?

That was with allies and much easier terrain.

Like a day or two ago. Poor Pete gets no respect!

How can there be an unconditional surrender? Would someone, anyone, bitch slap this putz. It's embarrassing to have such an ignorant toad as second in succession to the president. How the hell did we fall so far so fast?

the Department of Defense to the "Department of War" is not official and remains a secondary title authorized by an executive order from President Trump. Only Congress can formally change the department's name, so the legal name still remains the Department of Defense.

spare us the attempted sane-washing of the criminally corrupt bullshit.

We are all intelligent adults who can see quite clearly what is going on.

the world you're talking about. Just thought it was interesting. I was under the impression that it was official.
