Were you also friends with Ahmed Chalabi? Most exiles want to return. How that goes depends a lot on why/how they went into exile. Chalabi’s history may be prophetic here for the former Iranian monarchs. I’d love to see an Iran free of religious militancy and inclusive of women and all religions in every phase of life. Not sure taking out this ayatollah and a few others will achieve that. If anything, the ayatollahs’ powers have slipped in recent years while those held by the IRGC have increased. Also, the Iranians have engineered their government/departments down 4 levels so if an agency head is taken out, there is a clear succession plan to remain on mission. Here we are, less than 25 years later, and there is another GOP admin, really MAGA, going to war with even less justification than Bush2/Cheney. That war was an utter disaster even if in the early days some may still have believed Cheney’s claim that we will be “greeted as liberators.” |

If you work in intelligence, you know this stuff. You also know that this stuff is only to be viewed in a SCIF. Drapes covering windows are NOT a SCIF. Some folks never realize that the question they ask confirms what little they know. |

CENTCOM Update
TAMPA, Fla. - As of 9:30 am ET, March 1, three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury. Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions — and are in the process of being returned to duty. Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing. The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified. |

Are you defending that the president of the United States is waging war with Israel from a section of a ballroom covered in drapes and located in his country club in FL? Just want to be clear before we proceed. |

Come on girl. They are not going back to live. They will go visit, like any other tourist, but they are not going back to live. Be for real. Reminds me of Miami Cubans. They ain't going back either. Have the El Salvadoreans returned. Nope. Although El Salvador is considered a safe country with a growing economy of 2.5% per year. It's been more than 35 years since their TPS status and they are still here. Not going back to live and neither are your Iranian friends. |

I think you and Trump don't seem to understand that killing the head of Iran does nothing to get rid of the current government. They have already named the new leader (and have 10 more, in order, behind him) and he is more conservative and harsher than the one they just killed. The military will be faithful to him, so nothing will change without a protracted ground war. Are you willing to sign up your kids to fight for this? Only 21% of Americans think this was a good idea. But you and trump know better, right? |

I remember him running a conference called "Imagine a world without Israel and the USA". He was one who helped take over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and take hostages. Good riddens. |

I was getting ready to respond this sounds like my government, and then I got to your last sentence. Exactly. |

John Fetterman, Lindsey Graham, and Randy Fine vs. Thomas Massie, Sarah Jacobs, and Brian Schatz … The fact that the latter trio isn’t favored by 100.00% of Americans over the former is a perfect explanation for why our impending collapse as a global superpower is inevitable. 40 - 50% of the country behaves as if they enjoyed a steady diet of paint chips growing up. |
