Trump joins Johnson, Nixon and Carter of feckless presidents.

      Now Iran may be morons and not play the hand they now have to make
  Trump look like a military moron, but I would split my bet in Iran's favor.Wi
     Without a regime change Trump has really done nothing but spend millions of
  dollars on a new Korea style finish.

      Trump is most concerned about his image than defeating true evil.
      This shows China , Trump will not fight to the finish, and they can afford to lose
  Hundreds of thousands of soldiers without blinking an eye.

I would say.   “ the fat lady hasn’t sung just yet “

[moamonkey]

Mule, I agree. I’m thinking he’s letting the dust settle, letting the civilians guarding critical structures to go home, to relative safety,  before he finishes deconstructing.

   "Take Trump seriously, but not lite,
   
   All the bluster braggadocio and apparent boasting, is getting the mullahs to do his bidding.  For weeks now, they have refused to budge in even the slightest way,

  but then he threatens to erase their "civilization".  Now the straights of Hormuz will be opened...rest to be decided later..

   For Heaven's sake..it was only a couple months ago, when Pres Trump realized he wanted expanded miulitary bases in Greenland, and exclusive access to it's
   valuable mineral resources..

  I doubt he wanted in the first place, 58,000 new dependents for our nation to nurture..

   Then he starts talking of buying Greenland..even hints at taking it !  So, how did it end up? We have expanded military bases and exclusive, first bids on their minerals !

 This, despite the EU "powers" sending a dozen troops anmd a dogsled to Greenland ! 

   The bluster is all a part of "making the deal", don't get worked up by it, let the crazy left fret over it !

   No, that lady hasn't sung yet.. she hasn't even inhaled and swelled he rmighty chest to sing the first note of her expected aria...

 If all this had been promptly dealt with 47
years ago, and also if we'd stood aside and let
those who were in the position to, deal with
yassar arafat none of this m.eastern b.s.
would be b.s. today.
You can't twiddle your thumbs and hope
dangerous aggression will just fade away.
Now we've got what we've got because
we tried diplomacy and turning the other
cheek

He definitely isn't in control of this situation. Iran had agreed to stop for 2 weeks and try and settle this with peace talks, and Israel keeps bombing Beirut. Trump doesn't control Israel, but they don't seem to want to help in trying to settle this. Iran says, the war is still on. If that's the case, let them finish it and bring our troops home.

Hours after a cease fire was accomplished. Israel bombed civilian buildings in Beirut, many of them Christians, with our weapons, and our money. Its obvious we have no control over Israel, and that Israel doesn't want a cease fire. They want to keep fighting. So what have we accomplished? Certainly not a regime change. The Ayatollahs will still run the country, and we have spent billions. Plus American service men have been killed. Its time to leave a war we should have never entered. Trump was probably the only president that Americans thought was going to govern America instead of the world. American voters were wrong, including me. Lots of things that can be fixed here, and lots of things that would cost money to fix. Hard to do that when we send most of our money to other countries, and fight wars.   

Israel's bombing of Lebanon and Beirut was called eternal darkness.

Hezbollah launched a major missle attack against Israel, after decades of he same, only damned fools would just let it go.
Hezbollah is an arm of Iran.
This cease fire is BS to let Iran rearm.
