Thanks, I cant watch CNN.

This is getting to be very widespread, much to see on Twitter.
Uprising growing across Iran.

during Desert Storm when i first watched CNN or HLN, it was great. i really don't know what happened to them and all the other news coverage from all the cable and networks. every last one of them is bogus, now over the internet, you don't know what you are getting either. i guess what you are dealing with is very uninformed and mixed up people here today. the thing that really gets me is that a news station will burn you with their phony coverage and people go right back to them. every station is slanted in one direction or the other. seriously its a lot easier to listen to people on television tout horses, at least it can be entertaining.

Most news networks would rather report on Trump misbehaving or stuff he "might" have done 30 years ago, than report on news that actually impacts people's lives. Garbage on Trump sells a hell of a lot better.

Lindsey Graham says Trump needs to do more "than tweet about Iran." While I'm not a fan of Trump's proclivity to tweet about every matter under the sun, what else would Senator Graham like him to do? Start a war, of course. Senator Graham has learned nothing over the past 20 years. Nothing.

Not sure.

You issue some sort of canned "democracy and liberty are great, oppression is bad" generic type response. Which we did.

Then you play every angle possible like using the CIA to help protestors while dangling carrots for the Iranian government and see how it plays out.
