I just wanted to clarify this: Yes, I'm am glad that Trump did not send airstrikes that would have killed 150 people to retaliate against Iran's shooting down (maybe) our unmanned drone.
What I'm outraged about -- and frightened by -- is that Trump presents this as a last minute thought he had. Why was it never thought about until the planes were either on the runway or in the air?
A retired general interviewed last night on MSNBC assured listeners that, in briefing the president on such a plan, one of the first things they would include is the likely human lives lost.
So, either Trump's story is made up as a cover for some other reason; or else he is just so inattentive that, when they briefed him, he didn't take that in.
No, I do not agree with FoxNews when they claim that this act was "Trump at his most presidential" so far.
