You might be right, Trump probably fancies himself like the Don Rickles character, Crap Game, in Kelly’s Heroes.

If so it is very poor thinking. Bush I did exactly what the coalition agreed to, expel Iraq from Kuwait. It was done quite masterfully. There was no mandate to slaughter retreating Iraqi troops or to depose Hussein.

No surprise if true. Yesterday when he unthinkingly called for “unconditional surrender”, he painted himself into a very tight corner and has only emboldened the Iranian regime to thumb its nose at him and rankle the looney MAGAt faction in the GOP.

I wonder if Bolton went to see a doctor over his 5 hour erection after Israel started bombing?

[jon-nyc]

Might only be semi-erect until the B-2 takes off from Diego Garcia.

So it’s been 48 hours since the night that was supposed to be remembered for centuries….

[jon-nyc]

I'm glad you remembered that night. I had already forgotten.
