    We are dealing with the aftermath of the STUPID APPEASEMENT policies that the Obama Cartel put into motion....

    "Liberals are obsessed with defending their strategy of appeasement. They thought that the best way to deal with Iran was to pay them off, send over pallets full of cash, unfreeze their assets, lift sanctions, and then hope for change, right?" "Remember President Obama's theme was hope and change, and that was their foreign policy, as well. It didn't work, and it's time to accept that because what actually happened is the Iranians were enriched and therefore able to fund their Quds force more and destabilize the region, destabilize Syria, Yemen, fund sleeper cells in Bahrain, fund Shia militias in Iraq."
    Congressman Dan Crenshaw - Former US Navy SEAL

    Now I am listening to Bernie and Pete BootyJig spew out the same nonsense that assumes that if we just ignore Iran that they will not harm us and start to behave better. In the meantime, none of the other Dem candidates have verbalized a more sober conclusion based on reality.

    My conclusion is that the not a single Democrat candidate has enough common sense to be Commander in Chief

    No offense but a village idiot would do a better job than the one we have now.

    Are you talking about the, "It Takes A Village," Idiot that claims that she won and would win again?

    Hillary did just as much damage as Obama did...

    Soleimani was the architect who planned Benghazi, and in her own words, "What Difference Does It Make At This Point?" She and Obama let our ambassador be killed while not sending available help that was just down the road.

    Trump didn't let Soleimani have a repeat performance.

    And that assumption tend to ignore the facts, that the economy, jobs and most prime metrics of the national condition are not only UP, and in better condition than ever. That militarily we are stronger and more successful. It's no news that the left hates Trump and thrives on slandering him- and promotes that as a kind of platform, but what else can they do? Bad attitude- they got plenty of that.
    But, they have nothing else to work with.
    So... they just keep trying to invent something, anything to avoid the inevitable Trump victory in November 2020. The people have long been waiting for someone with the right stuff.

    Not a single Trump has served in the Military. Mayor Pete served in the Middle East.
    President Obama has been criticized by conservatives for over 500 drone strikes in the Middle East.
    The money you mention was not American money, but money that was Iran's in the first place it was released as part of the agreement to put limits on Iran's nuclear development; an agreement that Iran kept until a week or two ago.
    President Trump withdrew from that agreement with no new agreement to replace it and now Iran has announced it will return to enriching bomb material.
    President Trump has accepted the first attack on US military by Iran's ballistic missiles with no US response.

    You see if one looks hard enough one can find faults with anyone.
    The reality is that if one currently looks at the US - Iran relationship not much has changed since the end of the Iranian revolution.
    Perhaps we might be better off if we looked for solutions rather than blame.

    Obama's drone strikes coincided with his Alawite sympathies.

    Trump is the only one who has made an attempt to employ a common sense solution.

    Appeasement is always the knee jerk natural reaction of most liberals, and it never, ever works.

    you got to be kidding, the Obama/Clinton white house was just as warmongering as the bush white house.

    Obama should have held out for a more encompassing deal with Iran that touched on Iranian foreign affairs. But at least he got part of the deal done with the nuclear part. But since I don't care what Iran does in the Mideast on only care about how their actions directly impact americans. I don't like that Trumps actions are resulting in them building nukes.
