It’s kinda hard to take Biden seriously when he blows out for the weekend
Booms and sirens in Israel after Iran launches over 200 missiles and drones in unprecedented attack
Booms and air raid sirens sounded across Israel early Sunday after Iran launched hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles in an unprecedented revenge mission that pushed the Middle East closer to a regionwide war.
The attack marked the first time Iran has launched a direct military assault on Israel, despite decades of enmity dating back to the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. Condemnation from the United Nations chief and others was swift, with France saying Iran “is risking a potential military escalation,” Britain calling the attack “reckless” and Germany saying Iran and its proxies “must stop it immediately.”
Would these be the same people who’ve spent most of their time condemning Israel rather than Hamas? Which certainly incented Iran.
The Israeli military’s spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said Iran fired scores of drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles — with the vast majority intercepted outside Israel’s borders. He said warplanes intercepted over 10 cruise missiles alone, also outside Israeli airspace.
He said a handful of missiles managed to land in Israel. Rescuers said one strike critically wounded a 10-year-old girl in a Bedouin Arab town in southern Israel, while Hagari said another missile struck an army base, causing light damage but no injuries.
“A wide-scale attack by Iran is a major escalation,” Hagari said. Asked whether Israel would respond, Hagari said only that the army “does and will do whatever is required to protect the security of the state of Israel.”
U.S. forces downed some of the Iran-launched drones flying toward Israel, according to a U.S. defense official and two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter.
Iran is firing missiles and suicide drones over the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, one of the holiest places to Islam while Israel is the one defending it.

What’s next?
(Yahoo News) A representative from Iran said the offensive was in retaliation for the bombing of Iran’s embassy in Syria on April 1, and that Iran considered the matter “concluded.” President Biden pledged his support for Israel Saturday night.
But, will Iran truly consider it concluded? They won’t stop supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups attacking Israel. Will Israel consider this concluded? This was enough for Biden to come back from his typical weekend off in Delaware. At first he was going to make a speech, then that was cancelled. What’s the over/under he leaves D.C. Sunday?
Have Iran and their big brother, Russia, started WWIII?
Looks like iran’s new best friend is Biden. Biden seems to be letting them kill as many Jews as possible. How long before Biden starts giving BJ’s to Putin? Seems there isn’t an enemy of America that genocide Joe doesn’t love. That 10% for the big guy really covers a lot of ground. Well, genocide Joe grows rich while American people go poor or get arrested at the capitol and while his friends, the oligarchs in the Ukraine get very very rich.
Genocide Joe also said he’s gonna start collecting a lot more money and taxes off of people making less than 400,000 a year. That would definitely be me. But then I’m used to having this foot on my neck and the foot of all you leftists on my neck. If you’re not coming after my guns you’re coming after my money you’re trying to tell me where to live or what to drive.
You poor, poor dear… you have our sympathies…
Looks like Rimjob’s up for another “Death To America” chant.
I saw a blurb on one of the news channels last night in which the screen chyron said that the Biden Administration hoped/ was concerned/ something like that that Israel didn’t ‘over-react’ to the Iranian missile barrage.
“Iran” will now wait for the NYSE open on Monday morning to “gauge” the “effectiveness” of “their” “retaliation” against “Israel”.
Of course, the MIC, major oil companies, and many members of Congress are already celebrating because, armed conflict, yay!
We’re doomed.
Heckuva job, Joey.
We didn’t have this problem when Trump was President.
Joey says “don’t” to Iran and Iran says send us more money, dumbass.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Brandon should give Iran 72 hr to apologize and if they don’t the USAF should turn Iran into a radioactive sandbox.
If Jimmy Carter had done that in 1979, pre-empting the Reagan admin’s criminal subterfuge, the ONLY outcome would be the neutering of Iran today!! Hindsight, when coupled with fantasy, is a comforting mental device.
Finally, the distinguished Mr Dowd gets it right.
Of course, we all know that he’s attempting to be sarcastic, but how realistic is it not to believe that if President Carter had shown strength in 1979, the Middle East would not be very different, and better, today, than it is?
Satire, rather than sarcasm. The attempt was to mock Mr Dana’s position that dropping atomic bombs on Iran in 1979 would have solved all the problems in the Middle East. It’s very likely the Middle East would be different today after nuking Iran… but better?
The idea was nonsensical.
Perhaps the MAGA-libertarian-lite Mr Dana was ATTEMPTING satire in his “desire” to nuke Iran in 1979.
Would President-elect Reagan have called President Carter and told him about the secret hostage deal his team had worked out?
The esteemed Mr Dowd wrote:
It’s unlikely that it could be worse!
You just don’t get it: a threat to blast Tehran and Qom would more probably have led to Iran releasing the hostages quickly, and not trying the other stuff which has followed, rather than having to actualloy carry out the threat, but, in either case, things would more probably be better.
Dr Strangelove put it best: “Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy the fear to attack.” President Carter basically took that fear away from the mad mullahs.
The estimable Mr Dana can’t imagine the Middle East being any worse than today.
Mr Dana just doesn’t get it. He imagines that the threat from President Carter of nuking Tehran and Qom would lead to the quick release of the hostages! And what if the Iranians called our bluff? Your criticism is that President Carter’s acting skills were not up to snuff – that he was unable to “produce in the mind of the Iranians that we Would attack”. With nukes. No one believed the US would drop atomic bombs. No one.
How does Mr Dana imagine that Mr Brezhnev would respond to us launching nukes from submarines so close to Russia?
Dr Strangelove was a Hollywood movie! It wasn’t real life!! Remember Maj “King” Kong (the great Slim Pickens) riding the nuke to the target?
Mr Dana fears (or says he fears) that Putin will drop nukes on Lexington KY (the state, not the sex lube) if the civilized world doesn’t let Putin occupy Ukraine. Would he draw the line at Estonia? Lithuania? Latvia? Moldova? Finland? Poland? Germany? Mr Dana is likely disingenuously invoking the seriousness of Putin’s threat to destroy humanity unless he gets his way. Putin, Trump, Johnson, Repubs and Mr Dana want Putin to have Ukraine for reasons they refuse to describe. “Ukraine can’t win!’, “Putin has nukes and is crazy!”, “We can’t afford it!”, “Amerika First!”, “Not our problem!”…
We do get it. Mr Dana wants to waste time speculating that President Carter should have threatened Iran with nukes and if that didn’t prompt the release of the prisoners, to nuke Tehran and Qom.
If Putin says: “Give me Alaska and Hawaii or I’ll nuke Texas!”, would Mr Dana consider giving up our territory?
No matter what a Republican does it’s always criminal isn’t it?
CarolAnn,
No. Only when it’s criminal. America pardons her presidents; we put their perfidies behind us. Politics is a messy business.
Besides the revelations around Casey’s negotiations with Iran to prevent an “October Surprise”, later in Reagan’s terms it was revealed that members of his team had sold weapons to Iran hoping to free 6 hostages. They used the money to illegally fund the Nicaraguan Contras.
Nixon, LBJ, Reagan, W, Obama. Obama had American citizens executed without due process!! Trump was so horrible we have yet to pat his pompadoured head and send him home – mostly because he refuses to leave!! He views his re-election as his last, best hope. If he had admitted he lost and not led an insurrection he would be golfing at Mar-a-Largo and diddling porn stars!! America would have looked the other way.
And of course the guy, Rimjob, who chants daily “Death to America” like his liberal brothers and sisters tries to rewrite history according to his propagandist twaddle.
Not very bright that one.
And of course that little guy, MethMouth, who chants daily “Trump is Great”, like his MAGA brethren and sistren, ignores history according to his propagandist twaddle.
Not very bright, that one.
Oh, that’s so original and such a great argument for a fat boy.
Not a very bright retort either, Rimjob.
The failure of the “Don’t, Don’t, Don’t” foreign policy. This was totally unpredictable.

As expected, Iran, the West’s current bête noire, or Great Iblis, if you will, sent hundreds of rockets, missiles and drones into Israel, causing little if any damage. Looks like more of a symbolic response rather than a serious attack. Additionally, Iran said the attacks are over unless they are attacked again. Curiously, few if any of the terrorists outside Iran, although ostensibly under Iranian control, attacked.
Perhaps cooler heads will prevail. If President Reagan had nuked Iran in 1981, things would have been much better, but Mr Reagan’s staff found negotiating with the Islamists to be a better approach.
So Rimjob, sending hundreds of rockets, missiles and drones into Israel is somehow “symbolic rather than a serious attack”?
Are you stupid?
Yes, Blowjob, the attack by Iran was symbolic. They wanted to retaliate for Israel’s attack on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria but clearly they did not want to escalate the conflict. The Embassy attack killed 16!
Are you stupid?
Looks like Rimjob’s nerves are getting a little frayed by trying to defend the Iranian attack on Israel.
“Death to America”
“From the River to the Sea”
Chanting is symbolic.
Firing missiles is not, Rimjob.
Again, are you so stupid that you can’t understand 5he difference?
Oh wait, that’s rhetorical.
Looks like Blowjob, the Obsessed Stalker is making up stuff again.
OBSESSION, by Blowjob The Stench from the Right!
Trump should have resigned the moment he lost the election and had new President Pence pardon him. But no, Fat Donnie*, who loves the limelight and conflict and most of all raising money from his cult members, couldn’t stand to put America First. He hopes he’s the new Teflon Don**.
_____________________________________
*Fat Donnie is a play on Fat Tony D’Amico and his cousin, also “Fat Tony” D’Amico, the Springfield mob bosses from the documentary series, The Simpsons. Both Fat Tonys were voiced by Joe Mantegna. BTW, if you’re interested in becoming a better person, watch the 1993 movie, Searching for Bobby Fisher, starring Mantegna (with Ben Kingsley, Max Pomeranc, Laurence Fishburne, Joan Allen)
**The Teflon Don is a play on John Gotti, also called the “Teflon Don” for his resistance to conviction. Gotti died in the federal prison in Springfield MO. I paid for college by driving a truck and delivered food to the prison.
More Rimjob deflection twaddle plus some speculative Monday morning quarterbacking.
Once again, are you stupid?
Do you think anyone here believes anything you say about your past?
Do you have a book “Idioms for Idiots” that fertilizes your comments?
Were you this stupid and wrong about everything before Trump announced and came down the escalator in 2015, or has that particular event and everything that followed ruined your brain?
To whom did you pledge your devotion before Trump? Reagan? El Rushbo? Bill O’Reilly? Dave Koresh? Pat Roberson? The Gateway Pudendum?
I peaked at about 12-16 yrs old. You?
I do not “pledge my devotion” to any political figures. I think I’ve got my answer.
Unlike you communists leftists we conservatives do not pledge our devotion to any human being but only to God. You’re the ones who worship other men. In your case it’s every red that ever lived. Including the lovely mass murderer biden.
CarolAnn,
My goodness. President Biden is a mass murderer?
We humbly submit that nuConservatives are part of personality cult led by Donald Trump. He’s like a Taylor Swift to low info voters. Does your God support Mr Trump?
Do you believe that Mr Trump was the best president? Or at least in the top five (Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Teddy, Ike, Jefferson…)
I do admit to admiring certain persons. I have a Willie Mays jersey.
Was it a failure? Putin has not used chemical or nuclear weapons in Ukraine. As the honorable Mr Dana has testified here, if we give Ukraine to Putin he would be less likely to use nukes.
That is the MAGA strategy – Putin tells Trump Don’t support Ukraine, Trump tells Mike Johnson Don’t vote on supporting Ukraine, Johnson tells the House Don’t vote.
Putin says “Don’t”; Trump says “Don’t”; Johnson says “Don’t”. Russia takes Ukraine.
“Don’t, Don’t, Don’t” foreign policy works just as intended.
Rimjob fancies himself a foreign policy genius with few rhetoricals thrown in.
“rhetoricals” is not a noun, but you be you. English is a living language.
Iran shared its drones and drone designs with Russia who uses them daily to kill Ukrainians. Of course, the US has supplied a defense system that blocked and blocks the Iranian drones. But Putin –> Trump –> Johnson –> the House refuse to protect Ukraine.
Why do conservatives protect Israel from Iran drones but not Ukraine?? Russia!
Perhaps you should pose your rhetorical question to the Brandon administration?
Read somewhere that he’s the current President and Commander-in-Chief.
Or is he?
But then again.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-pledges-support-for-israel-after-iran-attack-republicans-remind-him-senate-blocked-aid?topStoryPosition=2
Don’t see Trump mentioned anywhere.
“World in shock as murderous terrorist state ignores warning from impotent old man…” BB
Yes he is.
There is no such thing as a nuConservative except in your insane mind. Donald Trump is the leader of the republican Party and that is as much a “personality cult” as the Democrats are. So say what you will. I don’t know who our God supports He seems apolitical to me. Who does your god support?
I think he’s in the top five. I also think genocide joe is the worst nosing out Obummer for the win.
I think we all admire certain people but leftists tend toward idol worship.
What I find most amusing is that Democrats all tend to believe the same thing and say the same thing all at the same time. Ever watch all the Democrat news channels at night? Go from one to the other and they’re all saying the same identical thing like they’re reading from a script. And when whenever their spouting off about for the day changes they all instantly spout the new thing, the new narrative, the new line of the day, the new lie of the day.
The other thing we don’t do is project. We don’t project what we believe onto you, we don’t project our idiosyncrasies and our prejudices upon you Like you do to us. Like you just did here when you projected that we worship idols. We don’t worship idols, we worship God. You worship your idols it’s your projection that catches you every time.
