I doubt Iran is just gonna let this go. I doubt they will either...but the more of those a$$h@!es that are dead, the better the world is. Hopefully, more people celebrate this instead of acting like it is a bad thing. Link to comment

Depends if you think the juice is worth the squeeze. One dead iranian terrorist commander vs what ever iran will do in response. Sinking oil tankers, bombing saudi oil fields or attacks on israel. 1 Link to comment

But they are going to do that anyway, we know that, everyone knows that. It isn't like they were sitting around going "You know what, things have been nice...we should be nice too" Look, one of the best lines from the movie Juice is..."You got the Juice now..." and that is what we are doing...taking the juice.

I wonder if they didn't know he was in the convoy. 1 Link to comment

How do you know that? Supporting Assad or rebels in Yemen is a lot less than what could happen as a result of this. Cant say whether or not it will pay off i just hope this president has has a plan to deal with what the fallout will be since no one is going to help us fight iran the Saudi's hate them but they dont seem to like to use their fancy American made weapons on anyone but starving civilians in yemen. 2 Link to comment

I'd rather play nice than start a massive war. There are others with irons in the fire as far as Iran is concerned, namely Russia. Link to comment

Yeah no s#!t. But lets say hypothetically if they shut down access to the persian gulf and sink oil tankers would they have done that if we wouldn't have wacked this guy. Link to comment
