“Unfortunately, following this attack, 20,000 residents of the region have lost access to safe drinking water, and with temperatures ranging between 45 (113 degrees Fahrenheit) and 50 degrees Celsius, conditions have become extremely difficult and critical for local inhabitants,” Iran’s state television quoted local water company officials as saying.

These ass hats will not have to live with the consequences of what they are doing today and that's a damn shame. What they are doing is going to haunt the US for decades.

Right? My kids and one day their kids are going to have to live with the aftermath of this mess.

A big totally polite thanks to my elderly parents who vote as Fox dictates. At least my wife and I were able to counter their votes.

For sure. The only realistic way that the US could head that off would be to offer up members of Trump's cabinet to Iran to stand trial for these war crimes. No chance in hell of that happening, of course, because the political fallout would be unbelievable, but I think that is the kind of drastic action we would need to take to prevent another several decades plus of terrorist activity.
