    Trump stands down for now

    Good well thought out move. I am in complete agreement. Iran clearly knows they are on double secret probation. I think Trump has shown tremendous judgement through out this entire Iranian misbehavior going all the way back to the Iranian attack on the Saudi oil fields and the drones.

    Maybe and maybe not.

    Depends if they can work out an agreement as war will not do anything for either side. As who gets the most praise will depend on what happens next.

    I was both surprised and impressed.

    I was surprised we were not going to destroy Iran.

    I was impressed with Trump's speech. It was not something I expected from him. He was well reasoned and mostly well spoken. You did see him almost trip up a few times when he almost got off the prepared speech on the teleprompter, but he recovered and continued. All in all, good job!

    Sounds like he is FINALLY starting to listen to his people.

    Yep - not too shabby, my friends. So far, so good.

    I am beginning to believe we have a little wag the dog going on with this Iranian deal. I don't think any personnel were ever in danger. I think we knew what and when it was coming. Trump was way to cool and calm for it to have been a "real " attack. Trump does not want a war and Iran need to "save face". We traded a few holes in the ground for the life of a real bad guy. I like our side of that.

    I agree. And I think that trading holes makes it a battle I like too.

    I agree. Much better outcome than a full-blown war.
