Because of CE, here's the Pit

I fully agree.

Problem is...the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. More often than not, it's the extremists on both sides of the aisle that make the most noise. Today's MSM does nothing but pay attention to the noise makers. Bottleneck everyone and the noisiest will take control because the majority (That "us" you made mention of) will get tired of all the bickering, tune it all out, and avoid bothering with getting involved.
Then you have companies with names that start with Goo and You censoring anything they don't like.
 
Either that or everybody won. Drinking games serve one purpose.....to get e'erydamnbody drunk as hell.
This... I had a blast! We started the game off where no one could say those three words.
Then, the rules got silly. No pointing, no saying first names... this was a 'quarters' game.
I remember now. Make 3 in a row, make a rule... fun times!
 
USS Harry S. Truman commanding officer is an Iranian born, fled Iran as a child in 1979. They're in the Gulf now and ready to fight.

If anyone knows how to fight the Iranians it's this guy.

so the narrative seems to be that Iran missed on purpose as a face saving response.. and there seems to be a lot of pundits sayings we punched, they punched and missed,, no harm no foul..
Maybe its the redneck in me,, but they swung at us.. I dont think we can just ignore that.

Absolutely. Attacking Americans should meet a strong and swift response regardless of casualty count in the Iranian attack.
 
Iraqi officials gave us warning, although our satellites did too. That said, if I understand it correctly, Iraq doesn't want to be the battleground territory for US - Iran. If that's the case, I would think Iraq would condemn, and warn Iran not to continue firing missiles on their sovereign territory.

And that's just fine, they can do that. They are their own company (Alphabet INC) but they should not enjoy protection under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act at the same time. If they want to act as a publisher (think newspaper who can be held accountable for publishing inaccurate info) rather than a forum (think the town square where you can say what you want), then they should not he shielded from libel.

Interestingly, as Iran continues to break restrictions on enriching Uranium, other European nations who are still part of the Iranian Nuclear deal may he forced to withdraw as we did.
All Iran has to do to become part of the brotherhood of nations is stop pursuing terrorism.

Bingo. Publisher or platform, make up your mind.
