General Discussion

who wer not completely opposed to bombing those deep nuclear storage sites since that action likely saved a lot of Israeli lives (their plan was to send in IDF commandos to fight their way in and set charges).

What I think most of us don't want to see is any sort of a land war there, it would be as protracted and futile as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We're going to be walking kind of a fine line here, Yes, clear the Strait of Hormuz of Iranian warships and mines. No, don't try to clear Iranian cities of either the IRGC, their police, or Iranians by bombing or sending in troops. Yes to giving Israel air support if they request it. No to trying to tell Iranians how to run their country--we tried that in 1953 and that's how we ended up in this mess.

Unfortunately, Congress is not our best hope, not with the Marshmallow in charge of the House. What we have to hope is that the polls, which will rise for King Yosemite Sam when he sends in the bombers will drop like stones every time he even mentions ground troops, and I do think that will happen. That's what we're up against and we have to hope a majority of people in the US are sick of Middle Eastern quagmires and don't want another one quite this soon.
