They have been at war with us. The Embassy attack was the final straw for me.
Destroy all their military installations now. Use the Zeus weapon to destroy the nuke facilities.
Hit Hezbollah hard too.

Do I really have to respond? Is there anyone who couldn't guess that I would check "Absolutely" a good thing? I have commented in several discussion threads on RP today on this topic. Do I care that Congressional Democrats are miffed that they weren't consulted? Hell no. Why tell them and give the bastard time to duck and cover? Do I worry about reprisals? Hell no. Iran is going to attempt attacks on US regardless. Indeed, appeasing them, bowing to them, apologizing to them only encourages them to think that we're afraid of them and to attack us again. There will be peace in the Middle East when they rest in peace.

Depends on the ACTUAL intel. Not this Fox News, CNN Bull Sh/t, that we hear on TV. Can make an informed decision about military actions based on what we hear on TV.

It was both a good and bad thing. Good that this evil was terminated and we showed America isn't going to take it. But, we opened a nasty can of worms that is going to mean a lot of soft targets are going to become actively targeted. And, as mentioned on CBS this morning, maybe one or some of our generals may become targeted.
