    As if Trump controls the news cycle. This is just one more piece of red meat for media to attack Trump. Impeachment is only important to Democrats anyway.

    Relax, the "news" will in no way be interested in shelving coverage of Democrat impeachment efforts. Why would they?

    Putin is allies with Iran and Syria. Trump being pro-Putin keeps being disproven over and over again by Trump's actions.

    The IMPOTUS is a master of media management.

    Because organizing and facilitating an attack on a U.S. embassy carries consequences.

    The impeachment process is a Constitutional check on an out of control POTUS it is not a Republican nor Democratic Party action.

    Ask Monika's Boyfriend! Ask Andrew Jackson!

    Ask Madison, Jefferson, Adams, and any of all of the Founding Fathers!

    Yeah, he certainly has orchestrated the content of CNN/MSNBC NYT/WaPo and hundreds of opinion writers in the blogosphere. :rolleyes:

    This impeachment is purely partisan. Pelosi set a new precedent, by diminishing impeachment to nothing more than a campaign tool

    That would be a great explanation if we had an honest rational POTUS in office but look who we have -- IMPOTUS.

    Again we all know and agree that this terrorist Iranian general was human crap but Trump never does anything for the good of America he does only what is good for Trump.

    I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 for similar concerns. However, he has worked very hard for the country and has done a lot of good. He has earned my support. :)

    I'll reserve judgment on this Iran situation until I read more about it. I'm not a Trump "cheerleader" who will support whatever he does, but this situation in the Middle East is unlikely to change my support for Trump in 2020. "Good" presidents do some things I don't like and "bad" presidents do a few good things.

    I lean right in my ideologies, but I didn't vote for Trump for this very reason. I had a feeling he would start a full blown war with Iran. He's going to use our money, our military, our soldiers to fight a war for Israel.

    Starting World War 3 is not "some things".

    This is not WWIII. Both Republicans and Democrats seem to want endless wars.

    Left-leaning media seemed to be almost giddy at the idea that Iran's attack on our embassy would be "Trump's Benghazi". It appears that the timeline of events with the attack on Iraq Embassy runs much milder than events leading to Benghazi, and with a better short-term outcome.

    Obama/Clinton toppled Libya's dictator Gaddafi, leaving a vacuum in the country. A year later the protests and attack on the Benghazi Embassy occurred. Our State Department did nothing to save our embassy people.

    In this instance, we didn't try to topple Iran's government. The attack happened and Trump sent in troops to protect our people. We took out the General who strategized the attack, and who was apparently also responsible for many other deaths.

    If we wanted WWIII, we'd have taken out Hassan Rouhani.

    Americans considered Soleimani attacking our military bases & diplomatic facilities acts of war. The left conveniently wants to ignore that because Orange Man Bad.

    As I recall, Trump's policy on war was double-edged. He said if we need to use or military, then we go in, kill the enemy and get out. He said he would "carpet bomb" ISIS (he later toned down the rhetoric to "targeted attacks") and then bring our troops home and not fight useless endless wars.

    We targeted and killed the General responsible for the attack on our embassy. I am still waiting for the part about bringing our troops home. :confused:

    Trump did promise a swift and quick response to threats against America and Americans. We just have to see what happens next, and if the tensions can be deescalated.

    Are we to gather you are upset over the death of an individual that is directly responsible for the death of hundreds of US citizens.

    They may think that it is better than nothing, but it's not.

    The DP reaction to the killing of our terrorist enemies is another example of the kinds of mistakes political factions make when they are panicked about the outcome of an impending election. Democrats see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that it is the Trump Express.

    Yes, it would have been better if Iraq had taken out the fool.
    Better still if the Iranians had avoided a direct conflict with the US.

    Finally, after 40 years, an American President sends a message to the murdering Ayatollah thugs brutalizing and murdering free men, the Americans: “See how easy that was? Want to be next? Keep fkn around.”

    Is Trump that brilliant, or is it just dumb luck—even blind squirrels find nuts every now and then.
