Pres. Trump declared a cease fire for 2 weeks on the condition that Iran open the Strait. It looks like in less than 24 hour Iran has not met the condition and it did not honor the ceasefire yesterday when it launched missile and drone attacks around the Middle East. Pres. Trump has them back in a condition of not knowing when or what he might opt to do next because the two week window is now inoperative whether they realize it or not. US, Israel and the Gulf States are collecting signals and human intelligence that will inform what needs to be done next. It's comical how little the press seems to learn by simply watching similar sequences of events unfold over time. -ShipwreckedCrew - on X

There is a 30 day withdrawal period if congress does not approve. So, he could drag this out 90 days. He could also say - ok - and let Israel take over and support them. Personally I think he wants this done and over so he can claim victory and work on Mid-Terms. If Democrats get a good majority in house, we are going to have a repeat of the 2016 impeachment circus

So he's failed - war is over and everyone's coming home?

I still believe we don't know what we don't know. If anyone was expecting Iranian leadership to come out waiving a white flag, they were very wrong. We can easily go back to bombing them into a crater. That was never the goal. The main goal past all the other noise was for Iran not to have a nuclear weapon. Trump would rather a peace deal. Our Government is not telling us all the details and they shouldn't. As far as the bombing, all they have is the equivalent of the Pony Express as far as communication. It may take a few days to get the cease fire information to the front line.

Me either, but it may give Iran leadership a chance to see sunlight, maybe stretch their legs…. OR Maybe this is a intelligence mission and we are hoping the leadership comes to the surface so we see where they are hiding…so if they break the cease fire we will hit them harder…. It does give us a change to resupply and reload…..and give our soldiers a little break.

2 week cease fire. Did Trump cave or is he trying to make a peace deal?

I wouldn't be too sure about that

Well, I don't throw around the "stupid" word like you do, but I will say you're an easy if Trump said breath, you would hold your breath until you passed out.

Well, if it is the washington post.....it must be fact Show me the "proof" there were not - besides the article stating that with also no facts lol

Someone on this forum will come up with a reason this is a bad thing......or not true......or something negative

I do believe it came from a Chinese lab. I also believe they did not know how to respond. I think there were mistakes made, but I don't think on purpose. I'm not a huge fan of Fauci, and if proven he purposely tried to hurt people or cover something up he should be held accountable. The question is what law or penal code did they break? To me, the biggest failure was forcing people to take the vaccine or businesses, specifically airlines require proof of vaccination to fly...... but again, what law to prosecute?

History is in the Democrats favor for sure

No - Republicans don’t have enough votes in Senate to pass something that big. Now, if he can talk them into ending the filibuster, that would certainly change my answer. Everything depends on if Republicans keep house and senate on November. I think the focus after this Iran thing will be lowering prices and focusing on winning mid-terms.

Your question makes no sense. He can’t do it ‘now” because he is completing a war “now”…..

It will go down and be studied…..I believe over 100 of our elitist men went boots on the ground for the rescue and not one American casualty.
