Do you see the difference between unfreezing some of Iran's funds as part of a deal to limit their nuclear capabilities and giving them far more funds from our kitty to try to get out of a mess we started?
Agreed. But you should be before this. This war is noting but badIf we end up giving the funds whether they are from frozen accounts or our own tax payer money I see this as a major failure. A lot of speculation around this but if true I am about as pissed off as I ever hsve been with a politician.

What in the heck are you talking about? I point out a situation that shouldn't exist and you go all TDS. Are you hysterical much?Yes, but at the same time, easy to say right now if you are behind Trump's chaotic, poorly planned attempt to change things. We have been relatively clear of dedicated and direct military presence in Western Asia, way beyond our normal operations there, for about 5 years until Trump. Yeah, we exercised our unmatched military upon them with a Stealth bombing run last summer. Ooooooh!
It was a perfect opportunity for Trump, entering his 2nd term, to affect positive change in the region diplomatically. Since he has no understanding of how to do that, we get "they say death to America", and, "we have been at war with them for 47 years".
Hey, let's show off our military. I want to stick my chest out. There aren't going to be any adverse, strategic consequences
Its weird that "we" kicked so much ass that its a problem now.No other president? You don’t remember weapons of mass destruction?
Also, hearing from a top clearance guy that one major problem we have is we killed so many leaders they can’t get on the same page over there now and that is causing major issues.
Either way, Obama f’d this up too releasing frozen funds.
It’s been a crap show since Carter.
