It’s clear to me that Biden botched this and is way over his head. It started with Jimmy Carter sending billions over to Iran in oil bribes and they get exposed for the bitch’s they are.

They need to make that kind of missile.
What you want is one of these, the 15,000-pound BLU-82
A Daisy Cutter sort of looks like a giant soda can. Its warhead contains 12,600 pounds of explosive filler called DBA-22M. The warheads are optimized for land clearance. Upon detonation, they release shockwaves that are powerful enough to obliterate trees as tall as 150 feet.
The Daisy Cutter dropped over Laos floated earthward for approximately 20 seconds until detonating just feet above the ground (as it was designed to do, in order to avoid creating a crater). In a flash, all of the vegetation within a 260-foot diameter of the explosion vanished, leaving a gaping hole in the jungle that was big enough for the troop transport helicopter tailing the C-130 to safely touch down and deposit its human cargo. It was the first time a Daisy Cutter was ever successfully used in a combat operation.
Over the next two years, the Air Force used more than 100 Daisy Cutters to create jungle landing zones throughout Southeast Asia. On several occasions, American and South Vietnamese aircrews even used the bombs as anti-personnel weapons. In 1975, for example, approximately 250 North Vietnamese soldiers were killed by a Daisy Cutter that struck their position as they were marching toward Saigon.

Yes, like in many colonized countries with leaders hand-selected by the CIA, elites and wealthy folks lived fantastically.
Unfortunately, those situations are typically also very corrupt and the “poors” are kept tightly under control through oppression - which was the case under the Shah.
Religious zealots took advantage of that fact and created a revolution under the banner of Allah. Unfortunately for everyone, they proved to also be corrupt, violent and dictatorial.
It’s not like the Iranian people were living in some golden age in the 1970s - happy, prosperous people do not revolt.

True and she was aware of that. I would love to show her picture or hear from her.

Not sure if sarcasm or stupidity . . . 🤔
Define Iran. It’s very possible elements of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, or some clerics were involved and the rest of leadership was not.
There needs to be clarity before we lob in some cruise missiles. Iran isn’t as well run as you think.
Our realtor in Tallahassee was a gorgeous older woman with a curious accent. Turns out her dad was one of the Shah's generals. She came to the States when she was 17.
Given Israel’s intelligence failures I fear that they couldn’t pull off a rescue mission effectively. Certainly some of the hostages are being held together, but even if 10-12 are at each location Israel could not pull off that many simultaneous rescues. They are clearly lacking in human intel.
Here are some good charities if you want to give:

How to Help Victims of the Israel-Gaza War
Here's how to donate to organizations operating in Israel and Gaza.
It’s always about Don. Bibi was mean to him, or didn’t support the coup. Or, was nice to Biden. Whatever. More meandering word salad from Don.
Too bad he never read any of those classified briefings he was given.
The shah's secret police would make the Ayatollah and Saddam blush. They were ruthless.
10,000 Israelis Show Up to Funeral of Woman Murdered by Hamas After Her Family Asks for 10

The most disappointing part whenever the Middle East flares up is that everybody tries to out-academia eachother about nobody truly understanding the history of it when the only thing anybody should be concerned with is some Persian T&A
Yeah sure, everyone jumped to that conclusion, but it looks like it was wrong. Shiite Iran doesn't "face to face" Sunni Hamas in Gaza. And that's irrelevant as far as what spies in Iran are telling us, anyway.
The only direct evidence of outside coordination is with Russia. Within hours of the attack Russia declared "western weapons destined for Ukraine were used in the attack!" and one of Hamas' first statements was "we used weapons from Ukraine!" - clearly weapons Russia captured on the battlefield and shipped off to Gaza.
Russia still has not condemned the attack, and instead criticized Israel. Let me repeat: Russia has not condemned the attack, or criticisized their clients Hamas. Russia has been supporting Arab terrorists for 70 years. Of course, I don't expect Russia knew about the head-chopping babies bit, but as seasoned maternity-ward targeters and experienced baby-thieves themselves, I'm sure they've been enjoying seeing the results of their labors.

Which is why we need to get rid of gas. When we get rid of oil, their economy won't be funded. Will require no more intervention in the Mid East other than protecting Israel and may be that would come into question. Just get out of the Mid East and they will destroy each other.

Karinne Jean Pierre condemned as repugnant the House members unable to condemn Hamas. She did not name them, but her comments were clearly directed at Rashida Tlaib and Cory Bush.
Nice to see the bully pulpit force of the WH in action.

Since the Shah went down to internal revolt, and Saddam and the mullahs have crushed internal dissent every time it crops up, I think that is objectively false.
I remember a documentary on CNN in the late 90s about Saddam's reign. There was protests in a city, people filling the streets. The interviewee relayed how several plain sedans pulled up to the edge of the demonstration. Men stepped out with AKs and just started gunning down the crowd.
There were no protests in the street the next day.
I'm not sure Saddam took a backseat to Stalin in ruthlessness.
I do agree. Unfortunately those responsible hide behind places good people are not supposed to attack.
So the decision is let them live to kill again or take them out knowing that their will be atrocities in taking them out.
Take the angle that will not give you bad publicity....you just sentenced more of your civilians to die.
I do think that as a whole the population was probably living happier lives then. Doesn't take a much extra thought to realize that a few can win a revolution...it happened here.
And the squad is growing with each and every election. How long do we accept this?Karinne Jean Pierre condemned as repugnant the House members unable to condemn Hamas. She did not name them, but her comments were clearly directed at Rashida Tlaib and Cory Bush.

After 75 years, Cupcake, you should know--and your parents and grandparents--that you are not, and you never will be. Hopefully, the lessons you have coming, will teach you and those of the same mindset, this simple fact.
That's disturbing if the translations are true.
