How many big dogs did #43 claim to have killed? There were always more big dogs out there.

Iraq is more of a republic now than ever before. Iraq has choices now. Iraq is more peaceful now…but I equally blame us for how we got there.
The Chinese militarized later rather than sooner because Iraqi oil was produced on the global stage during that war.
China otherwise needed to militarize and get it for themselves.
Sure, but if nothing else there is a period of transition and disorganization. There is a reason that officers were targeted in WW2 and learned to remove their insignia in combat.
Besides, there is something to be said for getting the guy who led the October 7th massacre.

An Israeli drone strike on Hamas’ offices in Lebanon killed four of the terror group’s members including Saleh al-Arouri, its deputy political leader, Hamas and Hezbollah officials claimed tonight as they vowed to retaliate.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened to kill al-Arouri, who headed the organisation in the West Bank and helped to found the group’s armed wing, even before Hamas launched its bloody October 7 attack.
Israeli officials tonight vowed that all Hamas leaders ‘are doomed to death’, but declined to comment on whether their forces had carried out the Beirut attack.

In 2015, the United States had placed a $5 million bounty on Saleh al-Arouri and designated him as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.

So is Israel going to collect that bounty in bombs?

One would hope so. $5 million buys a lot of drones.

His kids are probably in Swiss boarding schools. Only the best. Nice and safe.

I am surprised by how many people loudly decrying Israel and Jews as baby murderers but none of them are calling for peace.
Their calls are just scapegoating.
Well, that was back in October 2023. Fast forward to January 2025 and the Harvard Harris poll finds that four out of five voters support Israel over Hamas.

Support for a cease fire that Biden orchestrated is not the same as Trump’s Gaza mess.
Data for Progress found in a survey released Wednesday that 64 percent of U.S. voters say they oppose the proposal, while only 27 percent support it, a margin of 37 points. Nearly half of the survey’s 1,201 respondents — 47 percent — said they “strongly” oppose the idea.

Just not enough to do anything about it.

That is a really high number for strongly oppose but its the 64 percent that matters.
Require TIG to live there–with the Gazans. Starting immediately. Watch how fast he refuses to do so. If he wants to “own” it, he has to live there.

He can’t do that and run the Kennedy Center too!! I never thought I would have a President that would stoop so low as to run the Kennedy Center or any other company or non-profit, while still President. I can’t believe this buffoon ever was elected.

Stupid is as stupid does (old saying).
Someone else is President. I believe he is Chairman of the Board. So the President will probably run it … should anyone be willing to perform.
