"President Donald Trump on Friday reacted on Twitter to reports that he ordered a military strike on Iran for shooting down an American drone, but then reversed his decision after the plan was underway, saying he called off the attack with just 10 minutes to spare because he was concerned about potential casualties.
Interested in Iran?
In a series of tweets he said, "We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it."
Why would the President of the United States not know how many casualties to expect before he ordered the attack?
Shouldn't he have been briefed by the Secretary of Defense or the people planning the attack before he ordered the attack?
What Secretary of Defense?

Looks like he got an update on casualties 10 minutes prior to the attack. Take your meds or a reading comprehension class at your community college or something.

!0 minutes, or 10 seconds, or 10 hours it still was the prudent thing to do.

Maybe he saw the humanity of his own children in those he was about to kill, like he said there were no US lives lost in Iran's attack, there are other ways to settle the score than taking of life, and if that is the decision the president made I really can't fault him.
Dunno why Dems aren’t more upset it didn’t happen. It’s just post birth abortions yah know. It’s their bodies you know.

Maybe.
Though, I will admit, economic retaliation has been one of his main "go to" strategies.

Trump could cure cancer and they would hate him for it.

Doesn't matter the answer, you'd hate his guts no matter what.

The sensible thing to do would be to seize 180 million of their assets and buy a new drone. Then fly it through international air space again.
