I stand corrected. It was my understanding that while that once they began their space program the rockets they were using constituted evidence that they now had ICBM capability.

New reports are suggesting that the missiles haven't done a lot of damage. It appears to have been more of a face-saving effort. They likely lightened the payloads to prevent an overwhelming response from us. Let's see how Drumph responds.
well Iran has shown they really don't want this to escalate...…..now it's time to see what Adolph Shitler will do...…..we all know the only thing he listens to is the echo he gets while sitting on the shitter

At first, I was somewhat conflicted by the targeted killings . Then when the civillian casualties began climbing I was very much against them. Obama was not the president a lot of people make him out to be. I was never a fan but I did not hate him like I hate Drumph. I've despised that man since the 70's when he was denying housing to Black people. He's a real shitheel.
Obama had his faults.....but he did a lot to help the country...considering what he started with...….and the right signing a pledge to not help him in any way......considering all that....he did a hell of a job...…...put the country back into recovery mode...….why so many hated him?....they didn't see it in their pocket....good old American greed...…...hopefully the same thing that will get trump....he has "rigged" all the numbers so they look good.....but most not seeing it in the pocket.....throw in the lies and bullshit...he only has the cult people left
HEY he who knows all - FAKE NEWS
What a bunch o whining bitches - least now there’s a flock of ya to bitch about our President - WTF happened to this country we used to pull together when we were attacked - now all the left does is bitch and whine and politicize everything - disgusting

I guess you did not read the "CLAIMING" part or perhaps you don't know what it means!

Some of us have learned from the past and realize that the government has lied about our involvement in almost and likely every war we've ever been in. But you would actually have to read a book to know that. Get off WorldStar!!!
well first this country has never done assanations before...…...and then lied to the American people about the need for it...…….he pushed Iran into a confrontation.....the whole world knows it.....that is why NOT ONE country came to our defense...….this guy IS NOT a leader....he is an egomaniac on a power trip at the countries expense...….Iran was nice enough to show what they are capable of....but didn't....just sent a warning......now the question is what will Donald Mussowienie do about it.....take it for what it was …….or still keep pushing until Americans or others die!

Trump takes this guy out. Doesn't say a word of his intentions to your 'allies', so it took us completely by surprise. This isn't the way it has ever been done and it compromises the safety of our brothers, fathers and sons over there.
With friends like you guys, who needs enemies?

Donald Trump and the Escalation of Hate
A number of civil-rights organizations have spoken out about the rise of hate speech and violent threats by groups and individuals who support the Republican presidential nominee.
While white supremacists have long been active in America, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s statements against various racial groups seem to be further stoking their fires.
“Hate speech and the organizing of white supremacists behind this [Trump] campaign has been astounding,” said Heidi Beirich, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) Intelligence Project Director. “That organizing has led to more hate speech on the web.”
Throughout the primary season, Trump has built his brand on divisive language, and his reaction to the June 13 massacre at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub is no exception. On Monday, Trump suggested that all Muslim immigrants posed threats to American security, and reiterated his call for a ban on them.
Trump’s position “stokes fear and hatred of Muslims and immigrants at a time when political leaders should be bringing Americans together,” Madihha Ahussain, a lawyer at Muslim Advocates, told BillMoyers.com.
“Hateful rhetoric has real, and often violent, consequences for American Muslims, many of whom are also part of the Latino and LGBTQ communities,” she said, adding that there has been an “alarming uptick in crimes” against Muslims or those mistaken to be Muslim.
In the four months following the Paris terrorism attacks – the most recent data available – Muslim Advocates, which tracks hate crimes against the community, found 80 incidents of threats, violence and acts of vandalism targeting Muslims.
In some of these incidents, the perpetrators invoked Trump. In March, two men were allegedly attacked in Kansas — one Muslim, the other Mexican — by a man who reportedly punched them and said “Trump will take our country from you guys!” Last August, one of two brothers accused of beating a homeless Hispanic man in Boston said he was motivated by Trump’s message on immigration, police said.
Even schoolchildren are affected. A recent report from the Southern Poverty Law Center, The Trump Effect: The Impact of the Presidential Campaign on Our Nation’s Schools, found that immigrant and Muslim students in America are experiencing more bullying from their peers.
According to the report, the presidential campaign is “producing an alarming level of fear and anxiety among children of color and inflaming racial and ethnic tensions in the classroom.”
While the report’s survey of 2,000 K-12 teachers was not scientific and “did not identify any candidates,” it noted that out of 5,000 comments, “more than 1,000 mentioned Donald Trump.” Fewer than 200 contained the names Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton.
A Rise in Anti-Semitism Online
In recent weeks, a number of journalists who are Jewish or perceived to be Jewish have been attacked online for articles they have written or tweeted that are critical of Trump.
Many have been targeted with the (((echo))) symbol, used by white supremacists online to single out the names of Jewish people and coordinate attacks against them. “The echo symbol is the online equivalent of tagging a building with anti-Semitic graffiti or taunting someone verbally,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
After journalist Julia Ioffe’s April GQ article profiling Trump’s wife, Melania — which both she and her husband took issue with– Ioffe received upsetting calls and online abuse from Trump supporters.
Ioffe tweeted that she has received phone calls from “a blocked number that play Hitler’s speeches when I pick up.” She’s also been told she should be shot in the head, burned in an oven and has received Photoshopped images of herself in a concentration-camp uniform.
Last week, New York Times Deputy Washington Editor Jonathan Weisman quit Twitter. He received a barrage of anti-Semitic comments and Nazi iconography after linking to an anti-Trump op-ed from The Washington Post. Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic, recently also catalogued the harassment he has received.
“This alt-right existed before the Trump campaign, but we’ve seen its growth really coincide with his candidacy,” Greenblatt told BillMoyers.com. He defines the alt-right as people on the extreme right who “promote white identity and reject mainstream conservatism.”
While Greenblatt concedes that Trump “has never endorsed the alt right as far as I know,” he called out the GOP presidential candidate for not initially disavowing the endorsement by former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. Trump “didn’t initially step up and speak out against anti-Semitism with the same vigor and forcefulness that he brought to with other issues on campaign trail,” he added.
Anti-Semitic online attacks against journalists covering the 2016 presidential campaign have become so widespread that the ADL announced in early June it had started a task ******* on racist social-media harassment of journalists. And last week, it added the (((echo))) to its database of hate symbols.
“People have had their personal information, like phone numbers, addresses and emails, exposed by these people and then it degenerates into phone calls, drive-bys and inappropriate behavior that is borderline stalking,” Greenblatt said.
Online harassment is not unique to right, he noted; it exists on the left as well: A number of female journalists have come under attack on social media from so-called “Bernie bros,” who support Sanders. The task ******* will examine both.
Culture of Violence
While Trump can’t be linked directly to the actions of others, he has fomented a culture of violence at his rallies, with his “I’d like to punch him in the face” comments and the way he’s encouraged his crowds to retaliate against protesters.
The SPLC’s Beirich characterizes Trump as “playing footsie” with white supremacists – by “making racist statements that [they] would agree with and not condemning the activities they do in support of him.”
Stoking intense heat has been a hallmark of Trump’s White House bid. He barreled out of the gate at his announcement speech with statements calling Mexicans who cross the US border “rapists,” then ratcheted things up with his proposed temporary ban on Muslim migration to America, and re-tweeting a neo-Nazi’s statistics falsely claiming that blacks are overwhelmingly responsible for the ******* of whites.
Trump’s trash talk makes us crave that moment when Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), in the final weeks of the 2008 presidential campaign, defended Barack Obama after jeers from his supporters calling the Democrat a “liar” and a “terrorist.” When a woman chimed in saying she heard that Obama was “an Arab,” McCain stepped in: “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man [and] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign’s all about. He’s not [an Arab].”
Beirich says Trump should actively distance himself from groups like the American Freedom Party (AFP), which has sponsored pro-Trump racist robocalls in a number of states, warning citizens of a “gradual genocide against the white race” through non-white immigration.
The closest he came, Beirich said, was saying that there has been “a database error” when William Johnson, a self-proclaimed white nationalist who heads the AFP, had been included on Trump’s California delegate slate. According to mom Jones, other white nationalist leaders claim that members of their movement have become delegates for Trump.
“He can’t be responsible if ‘crazies’ like him, but he is responsible for saying he rejects their support, Beirich said. “And that he doesn’t do.” Against this backdrop, in 2015 the number groups on the American radical right, according to the SPLC, grew from 784 in 2014 to 892 in 2015 — a 14-percent increase.
Beirich adds that she is “absolutely shocked,” that the Republican Party is in this situation with Trump. “They should have disavowed him years ago… All this work that has been done to try to stem racism in this country has sort of been unraveled, at least among the GOP, and that has to be fixed.”
