Yes, we should have left it a long time ago. Unfortunately, I bet this will now make the opposite happen, because it mandates a response. If these idiots in Iran couldn't just wait a little longer, we would have been gone then you can all go take over Iraq again and have fun with it.

Sucker punches get swung back on. Don't want to fight? Don't launch missiles...
Iran could have sucked it up and had a media heyday with General Douchbag's funeral, laid him In State and named a new missile after him.
Instead they chose poorly...

Some deep thinkers and a real mixed jar of nuts.
That's why I love this place!
I would hope our military wouldn’t give them the choice. But, again, I have no faith it’ll actually happen.
Ever since 1945, I don’t think our .gov overlords have seen a war they can’t mess up.

In fairness this is far from a sucker punch, by any definition.

Yes they would BUT my last experience was their hit probability was around 40%.

Remind me never to elect you CIC.
Our thoughts and prayers should be with our brothers and sisters over there at this moment. Put the dick rattlers back in your underwear sheaths for the moment.
Don’t want missiles? Don’t drone strike Military leaders...
It’s the same thing with Israel and Palestine. It’s a never ending cycle. One side does one thing for one reason or another. The other responds. So the other responds to that. Which gets a response. And on and on it goes.
That’s how the war machine works. And the bigger and fancier the toys the more it benefits the military industrial complex.

If nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve.

If the US can locate the missile launch batteries, a simple message could be sent by knocking them out. It keeps the response simple and limited and sends a message to Iran to back the F off.

And they failed with Iraq, just as they will fail with the US.
I don’t know where or how accurate that initial report from Page 1 was of 20 KIA’s already, I hope it’s wrong obviously, and that this attack is simply a way for Iran to save face with its people and that it’s only targeted some infrastructure around the bases and not looking for body counts.
There’s a USO Center on Al-Asad with a fair amount of civilians working there right now.
