off a one hour flight, not when lives are at stake. Work out the system ahead of time.
You disagree?

People watch to many movies, there are plans but all are subject to resources and chain of command weather priority mechanical issues the list is endless , it's like calling 911 if your house is the only house on fire you my see a better response , it's a roll of the dice and a big world

Pete is criticizing Trump for retaliating against the murder of a US citizen. He is also criticizing Trump for not retaliating against the murder of a Saudi citizen. Logic galore...

I criticized Floridaman for methods and endangering more US citizens by his failed policies.
We have rules in this country that our government runs by. It looks like the WH failed to do their duty. We play by the rules and make sure our leaders do also. They apply to Floridaman, though he doesn't think so and you don't care.....you got $2500.
At the annual Group of 20 gathering of world leaders in Osaka, Japan, in June, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, beamed before cameras as he stood center stage between President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a carefully choreographed group photo.
The world leaders’ embrace of Mohammed was a clear signal that the young prince, who the CIA, U.S. allies and a United Nations investigator say is responsible for the savage killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, was being welcomed back, if reluctantly, into the community of nations. And it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Trump and his secretary of State, Mike Pompeo.

Your posts and my happiness have nothing in common. But I did find hilarious your confident assertion that "We have rules in this country that our government runs by."

You would think that given your support of the con man currently occupying the White House.
Floridaman usually has a tweet that will predict his actions, here’s one from 2013.
I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!
What happened today is to Iran what them assassinating General Mark Milley would be to us.

Everyone’s asking if the US government has a plan. Floridaman spent the last 3 years hollowing out our diplomatic corps, undermining military commanders, and denigrating intelligence agencies. His supporters like it. They believe he was sent by god. They don’t need him to have a plan.
