As a fellow Veteran, Mother, and Grandmother, my heart weeps. As a citizen, I am deeply disturbed and upset. As a woman, I’m concerned the attention will turn away from those who are guilty in the Epstein scandal.
Make no mistake. Trump is declaring war as an excuse to claim the United States is under attack by foreign forces. It’s to be his grounds for taking over our elections.
It is always "...with someone else's kids", isn't it?
I'm not a veteran; couldn't lie back in the 70's to join the Navy.
I saw a graphic about the presidents with military service in my lifetime: Eisenhower (Army), Kennedy (Navy, Heroism Medal), Johnson (Navy; Silver Star), Nixon (Navy), Ford (Navy), Carter (Navy), Regan (USAAC), GHW Bush (Navy), Clinton (ROTC), GW Bush (National Guard); neither Obama or Trump had military service.
I suspect our next president will; the GWOT will supply some very qualified candidates. Mark Kelly, Pete Buttigieg, Tammy Duckworth, Mikey Sherrill, Jason Crow all come to mind.
That bone-spurred turd said it may cost US lives but that is a price HE'S willing to pay. This former Marine sez fck dat noise! That pedo-criminal-draft dodging-piece of shit deserves nothing less than a rope or a firing squad and I hope he finally gets his due before his time on earth is through!
I am not a vengeful person, but I do want accountability. I hope in my lifetime I see some of these people tried, convicted, and spending time in prison for their crimes, NOT because I don't like them.
You may be right, but for me, it's important to distinguish between simply wanting someone punished because I dislike them (that would be what Trump would do) and committing an actual crime. Words and intentions matter in my world.
I've made that distinction quite clear ma'am. No matter whether I personally like him or not his history precedes him. You should know all you need to know about this guy's words and intentions by now.
I believe the number was 113. Perhaps that needs to be publicized a bit more - right? Altho I'm pretty sure those little girls werent the only Iranians killed or injured in this mess.
From another of Trump's illegal wars without guardrails under the guise of a "noble mission" to the subversion of our elections in November as a "national emergency"...we have been warned. Resist MAGA gangster grifter authoritarianism! Vote Sane. #VoteBlue!
Another step towards suspending or rigging elections, more latitude to declare people “enemies of the state,” and burying the Epstein files and other crimes. It also will reduce the world population and the strain on scarce resources. We will do the sacrificing while this administration continues to slash and burn. This is “Operation Epstein Fury,” (thank you, Dean Blundell) where rich and powerful men make decisions that many will pay for with their lives. I fear for our sons and daughters.

Agreed.

I'm so tired of watching old men thinking of new ways to kill young men. 😔

Nothing about like nor dislike ma'am. The man would see you dead if it were convenient or profitable for him. Period. He needs to go.

I understand how trump operates. I am speaking MY OWN principles: MY words and MY intentions matter to ME.
It should also be noted that over 100 elementary school girls were killed by US bombs. This regime is sickening.

I'm grateful for your concise reporting.

Grateful for your reporting, Xavier; saddened by the news!

Add Pedophile to that description!
I'm sad to hear of US causualties. I'm also sad about the thousands more people killed and the infrastructure demolished by the attacks.

I’m disturbed, really angry and this is yet another useless, unending war in the Middle East. Thanks Nyetenayu
No coverage of this in today's Sunday e-paper, I guess they're only covering local stories now. Thanks for the coverage!
Citizens on the ground in Qatar state that “all missiles aimed at that country were intercepted except for two”.
