Well, it is starting to feel a bit like a real war. Trump is threatening the remnants of the Iranian regime with more hellfire, while offering forgiveness and peace if they surrender. We've suffered our first casualties, three dead and five servicemen seriously wounded so far unnamed in as yet unrevealed action, and the third column inside the country has put out its first terrorist attack, with three people been killed and 14 injured in Austin TX by a Senegalese man wearing a ‘Property of Allah’ Shirt, a naturalized citizen of the US.
At TownHall Dmitri Bolt thinks President Trump Had the Perfect Name for the Operation Against the Iranian Regime, in Epic Fury. A little ostentatious for my taste, but I don't get to pick 'em. Aaron Hanscom at PJM, Trump: U.S. Will Hit 'With a Force Never Seen Before’ if Iran Escalates. Hat Hair's Capt. Ed, Trump to IRGC: Surrender for Immunity, or Prepare to Die; Urges Iranians to 'Seize the Moment'. NewsNation, Trump offering immunity to IRGC, Iranian military and police forces. At Althouse, "[Trump] said he would be willing to negotiate but that if Iran was not serious, he would order an overwhelming military attack." ""He did give diplomacy a chance, but ultimately, he was not willing to simply put a fresh coat of paint on Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal; he wanted serious indications that Iran was committing to giving up its quest for a nuclear weapon. When it was clear they were not, he followed through on his threat. Many past presidents have said that 'all options are on the table' with regard to Iran. Trump meant it...." Writes Philip Klein in "Donald Trump Wasn’t Bluffing on Iran" (National Review)." From War on the Rocks, For Iran’s Regime, Better to Take a Beating than Capitulate. We shall see. The Free Bacon claims Trump Avoids Drama To Focus on Foreign Imminent Threats. Trump avoids drama? In what world? PJM's Matt Margolis claims to know The Reason Trump Struck Iran That the Left Doesn’t Want You to Know "According to CNN’s Scott Jennings, senior Trump administration officials presented ironclad intelligence showing Iran was preparing to launch missile attacks on both U.S. military and civilian targets across the Middle East." Don Surber calls it MAGA’s best weekend since Trump’s re-election. CBD at Ace's says After 47 Years Of Asymmetric War, We Finally Have A President Who Understands. Noah Pollak @NoahPollak. "One of Trump's greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism. As the era of Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s, western countries (very much including Israel) spun up all kinds of pseudo-sophisticated theories and excuses to avoid carrying out the only successful policy, which is killing terrorists -- as many as you can, whenever you can..." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, Netanyahu Promises to Intensify Attacks On Tehran; UPDATE: Trump Pledges to Sink Iran Navy. Hat Hair's Dave Strom, BREAKING: UK Approves Use of British Bases; UPDATE: Gulf Cooperation Council Signals It Will Join. William Wolfe @WilliamWolfe, "The fact that a billionaire real estate playboy who liked to slap his name on steaks and wine has proven to be a better diplomat and military strategist than every other politician and foreign policy expert over the last 30 years is such a damning indictment of the DC establishment I honestly don’t know how they recover." Quote Mostly Peaceful Memes @MostlyPeaceful, "What’s clear from the Maduro raid and today’s strikes is that forever wars were a choice." Bad Hombre @Badhombre. "Apparently, arresting Maduro and killing Khamenei were easier than getting a Republican Senate majority to pass the Save America Act." Bin Xie @bxieus, "Chinese are now leaving Iran like crazy, the price of a one-way ticket to Beijing has gone up to 3M Yuan ($425,000). What are the Chinese so afraid of? According to a Taiwanese news, they have done too many bad things in Iran (such as helping Iranian regime to crack down the protests), Iranian people hate them."

This is how the Washington Post eulogized the dirt bag who murdered 40,000 innocent civilians this month.

Some Iranians who knew Ayatollah Khamenei before he became supreme leader described him as a 'closet moderate''
