1. Do you change generals in the middle of a war?

Anywhere.

[tblue37]

14. Like Abraham Lincoln did? He changed generals to win the war, because McClellan was

incompetent. Grant was much more effective.

[Iggo]

15. Yes. Like that. (n/t)

[think4yourself]

2. The minute Bolton was appointed

the die was cast.

[msongs]

3. yes indeed nt

[Instant Liberal]

4. Presidents and generals can be replaced during war.

We have done both before.

[Midwestern Democrat]

12. Agreed - for example, Truman would not have been re-elected in 1952 had he chosen to run despite the

Korean War still being ongoing; LBJ would not have been re-elected in 1968 had he chosen to run despite the Vietnam War still being ongoing (Vietnam was why he DIDN'T run in 1968).

5. When was the last time we won a war?

So what makes the difference?

[Wounded Bear]

6. Don't change Dicks in the middle of a screw, vote for Nixon in 72...

While not an official slogan, it was the contemporaneous version of a meme.



America has not traditionally changed presidents in war time, except for the last two.

7. The Iranians have to decide

how many of their people they are willing to sacrifice to keep trump in office.

[Iggo]

16. That's one decision that needs to be made (and possibly, has already been made.)

There're many more. This isn't all on Iran.

8. Newsflash - We've been at war since W

We've been at constant war since W. Don't let that fact escape you.

Yes, I understand Trump would start a war with Iran to prevent his impeachment and to try to ensure a second term. I have no doubt he would do such a thing. The possibility scares the hell out of me.

9. SHITLER's flying monkeys feed him history he doesn't know.

[duforsure]

10. When its illegitimate

The president , or the cause to start one is based on lies for political gains for himself, , yes you change a president, and political control to stop it from continuing. trump is doing this with Iran now for that reason, and with probably putin's support. They want their oil for more control, and to keep trump in power.

11. It would be nice to change them before.

Maybe the prospect of nukes on their doorsteps will wake up Republicans.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

13. Yes

We did in WWII (Okay Roosevelt died in office), Korea and Viet Nam.
