[[[ Serious question folks...with all the 'gasps' over putting "boots on the ground" in Iran...especially with Trump and his 'brigade' NOT wanting to do so...the fact is that any modern day war we've fought in and WON...with "WON" being the operative word...has been WON because we had "boots on the ground." 

 

If we don't want American "boots on the ground"...and our all-volunteer army knows when they sign up what that entails...as in possibly having to fight in a war...then why do we have an ARMY at all if they are stopped from doing what they were trained to do.

 

War is a dirty business and some ground soldiers will unfortunately get killed...so the only logical answer is DON'T GO TO WAR UNLESS YOU ARE 100% IN IT TO WIN! And don't pretend to be a good wartime president when the single country you are at war with still has NOT surrendered to us...the world's NUMBER ONE SUPER POWER! My thought and I stand by it. ]]]

Pentagon extends MidEast deployments into 2027 even as Trump mulls declaring war over - report

Sources said the military presence is intended to preserve President Donald Trump's ability to choose between continued economic pressure, limited military operations, and broader escalation.

Shir Perets / JERUSALEM POST 

The US military is extending deployments across the Middle East as the Trump administration prepares for the possibility that its conflict with Iran could continue well into 2027, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

At the same time, US officials told the WSJ that US President Donald Trump has privately discussed with senior aides whether he should declare the Iran war over, arguing that sustained economic pressure could eventually compel Tehran to dismantle its nuclear program or bring about the collapse of the regime.

“I like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait, and their economy totally collapsing,” Trump wrote on social media.

What Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth originally presented as a short, decisive military effort has grown exponentially, with Washington now maintaining about 50,000 troops in the region, along with 19 warships, fighter squadrons, air-defense units, and paratroopers, according to the report.

[[[ So as U.S. bombs once again rein down on Iran, Trump keeps urging the "Iranian citizens" to "rise up." But what he oh so conveniently forgets is how can they "rise up" without weapons. The "Iranian citizens" are still waiting for your long ago promised "help is on the way"...so where the hell is that help is what I and so many others want to know. Talk of promises is cheap...talk with actions is what's needed...as in guns and other weapons...which for whatever reason Trump doesn't seem to want to deliver even as executions of the "Freedom Fighters" continue on. How sad and hypocritical is that. ]]]

9/11 terrorists keep dodging justice — as lefty allies wage ‘legal jihad’

Betsy McCaughey / NEW YORK POST  

A quarter-century after 9/11, the attack’s evil mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, still hasn’t been tried and sentenced to death — because America’s own justice system has been turned against us. 

Blame the American Civil Liberties Union, in large part, for this travesty.

The ACLU intervened at the start, insisting that the two military lawyers assigned to defend Mohammed and his co-defendants “might not have death penalty experience” and were unprepared to battle “the full force of the US government.”

Ever since, this team has been waging legal jihad — and it’s still getting away with it.  

The terrorists’ lawyers have strung out the military court proceedings at Guantanamo Bay, objecting that the defendants weren’t read their rights and were wrongly subjected to CIA waterboarding and other torture.

The real torture victims are the 9/11 families, still waiting for justice and closure.

Dramatic video shows US strikes raining on Iran as Trump touts American might, urges citizens to ‘rise up’

Emily Goodin / NEW YORK POST

WASHINGTON — A dramatic new video shows US missiles launching into the night sky and raining down on a series of targets in Iran as President Trump touted American might.

Hostilities have flared once again in the six-month war. The latest round of US attacks killed 18 people, including guests at a wedding, according to Iranian media.

U.S. Central Command released the minute-long video along with a statement saying the latest round of strikes has been completed. 

All the targets were military, Central Command said, “including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets and facilities, mine laying capabilities, and communications sites.”

Ceasefire talks appear to be at a standstill. 

There have been no official meetings between Iranian and US officials recently and Trump showed no signs of pushing for another round of negotiations.

[[[ Ever wonder why Iran has NOT recently attacked Israel...I'll tell you why...it's because Israel will immediately retaliate in a way Trump will NEVER do. And I'm NOT talking nukes here, but carpet bombing Tehran until the mullahs and IRGC beg Israel to stop while on bended, begging knee. ]]]

[[[ I know I've said it before, but it's well worth repeating again, especially after Trump keeps heralding his anything but success...there has been NO what must be full "surrender" let alone even a "capitulation"...in regards to Iran. Remember, the great Ronald Reagan brought down the entirety of the Soviet Union...a fully nuclear armed Soviet Union...and ended the 45-year long "Cold War"...while Trump still has yet to bring down the single nation that is Iran, and shows NO real sign of being able to anytime soon. And that, I'm sorry to say, is the saddest thing of all. ]]]
