#2 More threats? Gosh, where have we seen this before? And the threats came to be because of the warlike actions of the US government abroad? You don't say!

It's almost as if we didn't fuck with other countries, they wouldn't fuck with us. Ya think?

#3 So they argue we should stay with Zero's nuke deal and trust the Iranians cuz otherwise their terrorist sleep cells in the US would attack us?

#4 We don't need sleeper cells. We have Boomers and someone who might actually use them. Keep that in mind.

#5 That's one way to incur a national death penalty.

#7 Another Journalist breathlessly discussing the long obvious...
Starting in the 1960's belligerent 3rd World Regimes started investing in "plausibly denial" Terrorist Organizations. Partly so that they would bother someone (anyone!) else, but mostly because they were seen as The Poor Man's WMD.
Part of the reason we flattened Afghanistan was to discourage repeats of this idea... The Russians, from time to time, also responded to such provaxations from time to time.

#8 It sure would be nice if we could vet immigrants from countries that support terrorism.

#9 Wow, I bet they are all available for group photos at some gathering place. If only we were cunning enough to figure out where and conduct surveillance of these places.

#10 It's almost as if we didn't fuck with other countries, they wouldn't fuck with us.

They've been coming here since 1980, Herb, when we weren't doing anything to Iran except counting the days they were holding out people captive. Discarded IRGC uniforms and Korans have reportedly been picked up along our southern border in the years following 9/11, when we were concentrating on Afghanistan and Iraq -- Iran's enemy for decades. Iran's "reaction" long predated our action -- so how are we at fault?
