If I remember right, under Bush the argument went like this:

1) "Iraq is supporting terrorists!" Nobody believed it.
2) "Iraq is trying to build nuclear weapons!" Almost nobody believed it. There were some aluminum tubes transferred.
3) "Iraq is trying to get weapons of mass destruction!" Almost no one believed it.
4) "The president has secret information that he can't tell us!" 60% of the population (especially congress) believed it, because 9/11.

In the end it turned out that the Soviets prevented America from deposing Saddam during Desert Storm, so Jr decided to finish the job when the Soviets left.

I don't have to sell anything, it's not my goal.

If you believe that Iran was not actually trying to get nuclear weapons, then Trump picked a good objective. Easy to achieve an objective that's already been accomplished.

Ok, I accept your point, that counts as a threat.

So your idea is that Iran wasn't trying to develop nuclear weapons? That it was all made up by Netenyahu?

I didn't say anything about nuclear threats. Learn to read.

As for the Iran war, it is concerning that a single country is willing to unilaterally attack others.

I didn't say Trump is sane. Trump is doing a good job impersonating an insane person. Poe's law applies to him.

The objectives seem clear.

The Earth is the torment nexus.

Yeah, should have chosen "Pinto."

The goal is to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The secondary objective is to prevent them from rebuilding their rocket supply. The third objective is to remove their support for terrorist proxies around the region.

The bonus objective is regime change.

They've been image recognition for a while to find things in the vast amount of image data that comes in from satellites. When convenient, that can be called AI.

I have no confidence the next president will be better than Trump. We are a reality-TV nation now, and that won't change.

"There are credible reports of some commanders allegedly using apocalyptic religious rhetoric. But there is no evidence that the U.S. government or military officially says the war is to bring about the “end of days." https://chatgpt.com/share/69aa...

In all seriousness, the war is seriously worrisome.

Iran is literally a theocracy.

We'll be lucky if we avoid WW3 in the next six months.

Targeting might be tough with artillery but it's around 30miles wide at the narrowest. Recently Iran released some sea mines into the area.

Which US commander did that?

It would seem they want to teach the kids of the military members. America has schools on military bases, too; along with housing.
