Be comforted. When Iran kills Americans here it because they hate democracy.

I heard that Trump gave Republican Congressmen a heads up, but not
the Democrats.

Yep. <https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-briefed-top-republicans-035047633.html>

|
| The top two Republicans in Congress, House Speaker Mike
| Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, were both
| notified
| ...
|
| But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority
| Leader Hakeem Jeffries received notifications shortly before
| the public announcement
| ...
|
| Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrats on the
| Senate and House intelligence committees, were similarly not
| told until after the strikes had occurred
| ...

He has no respect for his position or the American people who did not
want this, many MAGAs included. Democrats having no representation in
this convo — and Republicans having no say in the decision anyway —
should disturb everyone regardless of political leaning.

Congress will do nothing.

Just like they did nothing when Obama and Clinton ordered airstrikes.
Not a peep back then.

If you objected then, is it not hypocritical to accept this?

Actually that is correct, presidents
DO have authority to order airstikes
without congressional approval.

Regime change invasions like Trump
is advocating (Iran, Greenland, Panama)
are a different matter.

It should be seen as an impeachable offense. We're not at war with Iran and were
not on the verge of war. They are an adversary, but not an enemy.

Nope, not a peep :-)

Even CNNs Acosta had to AGREE with Trump's decision
today. Better put him on suicide watch ....

I have no illusions that the attacks have forever
and always ended Iran's bomb ambitions and capability,
but it's decidedly bought us some TIME. Sometimes
that's the best you can do.

Iran PROBABLY has enough high-grade uranium, which
they HID AWAY, to build a number of 'dirty bombs'
or maybe two or three Hiroshima-style bombs IF
they have, or soon can, enrich it another step.

You can significantly nasty those up too. A few
bags of cobalt salts would be The Worst ... long
long term gamma contamination. You're not gonna
hide from that for long. Cheap amplifier for
smiting the infidels.

Ugly, but the Truth. This is what we invented,
and celebrated our cleverness. Can't take it
back now, genie is out of the bottle. We are
hostage to 'sanity', which is NEVER a good
bet when dealing with humans.

My concern - air delivery is probably OUT ... so
the next step is to smuggle them into wherever
they see as their prime opponents. USA that'd
be the LA area, maybe Chicago, NYC for sure.

A (pre-Woke) Scientific American article not too
long after 911 totally pooped on the idea that
such things can be easily detected. The normal
radiations are not very penetrating, can be
easily masked. Be it Fed-Ex or dope smugglers,
they CAN get the things in. Then a phone call,
a few tones .........

I'm figuring they'll come in thru Canada - we
don't watch that border very well.

NEVER doubt what fanatics are willing to do
for the Glory Of God. This is nothing new in
the human experience.
