    I hate to ask this and if you can please put your politcal party aside, why the hell are we in this middle east conflict?

    Honestly I feel like it's because Trump can run for a 3rd term if we are in an active war.

    2 1/2 years before the fact may be a bit early to pull the trigger on that ruse.

    gee, I wonder who might have known what Trump was going to post 15 minutes before he posted it?

    Markets
    Volume in stock and oil futures surged minutes before Trump’s market-turning post

    Early-morning futures markets are typically less liquid, which can make short bursts of buying and selling more noticeable than during regular trading hours. Still, the trades raised some eyebrows because whoever purchased a large amount of stock futures and sold or shorted crude futures at that moment made a lot of money just minutes later.

    It was the Department of War until Harry Truman changed it in 1947. What's in a name? I wonder if that's why Korea was a "police action"? People were tired of war. Then came Vietnam, another "conflict", "police action", which Congress lost for us. People get tired of losing.

    But, now we're in a different situation. The worst thing that could happen is to let Congress get involved. Congress cannot run a war, their only job is to fund it, or not.

    If this is true, then our current dilemma is just in time.

    If it's true, then Trump just saved the world.

    If it's true, y'all still won't care.

    Many people would rather die than admit Trump was right about anything. Seems strange to me.

    If it’s true, then it wouldn’t be on Fox News.

    Edit: We should play a game. Just like when we were in school if you post something, you need to have at least three sources.
