Ann K replied to the thread The Bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls School in Minab, Iran.Explain to whom? Congress? In a democracy, at least in OUR democracy, our government would not have gone to war without a vote of Congress. Unfortunately we seem to be in our post-democracy phase right now, and have carelessly left the keys to... -
Eenilc replied to the thread 2026 Israeli–United States strikes on Iran.Israel is trying for the "ethnic cleansing triple-play." It's working in the West Bank. It's starting in S. Lebanon. Why not Iran?

Like.
(Admittedly off topic, but) Nayriha's account was well-publicized and was no doubt influential in shaping some perceptions, but the main justification for military action against Iraq at that time was its invasion of Kuwait. Hussein didn't do... -

Agree.
"I was just following orders"? But you’d have to get rid of the JAGs.. And allow AI to take actions that violate laws of war or perhaps constitutional rights, and to conduct surveillance. Wait a minute… -

Can anyone trust Marco Rubio? He's been completely, and shamelessly, inconsistent. For a comprehensive look (too much to quote here) at how Rubio has changed his deeply held convictions on foreign affairs, like Russia and Ukraine, see this list...

Disagree.
He didn't backtrack. I take this as you were gaslit by headlines. We were always going to strike Iran. Israel affected the timing of when we did that. I'm sorry if this is incomprehensible to you. To further hit home the fact you're wrong... -

I whole-heartedly disagree with this. Both Rubio and Hegseth have been very clear and unwavering about what the mission is. Just watch their full press conferences. Not clips. ??? It really seems like you haven't watched Rubio and Hegseth's...

That'll teach me to waste my time. :p Okay, back to ignoring you. Good luck pushin' that water uphill for the good ol' GOP! "It is a well-known fact that reality has a liberal bias." Stephen Colbert, 2005 (as blowhard Bill O'Reilly-ish...

I rarely bother with your posts, for obvious reasons. But I will take a moment here to admire the amount of effort you're willing to put in, even if it's just to try to obfuscate and muddy the waters, in what is a plain reversal to almost...

you mean your clip that says "no, i was asked a very specifically" and then cuts him off? not that anyone on MB cares but here is Rubios full answer your clip cuts off .starting at timestamp 4:50-5:55...

ENow I remember why I needed to stop wasting time, responding to your posts! First, google "Rubio backtracks" to see that virtually everyone realizes that he changed his position radically after Trump contradicted him. So, when you say: "I trust...

Because Trump exaggerates almost everything. He boasts. I've said this several times in similar threads. I trust Rubio's words on things like this. Why do you all of a sudden take Trump at his word? You think Trump is giving you the truth...
