President Trump declared in a social media post Tuesday, "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran" — a claim that departed from earlier U.S. statements that Israel's offensive against Iran was being carried out without U.S. involvement.
It's our war now, folks. Expect hostile actions against American interests and citizens in other countries.
I am old enough to remember when people like John Solomon and Judith Miller and Ari Fleischer were telling me that clearly I hate my country and the troops because I was not in favor of Shrub’s desert adventure. Yeah, I remember that.
ReplyDeleteWas that the one where Bush the Lesser broke the Middle East? The only silver lining that I can is that we will mostly be rid of the Sykes-Picot deal
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly, Iran has already declared that they are also at war with the U.S. and not just Israel. So perhaps while Trump's words were stupid, that doesn't mean that they were not correct.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between Trump and Bush is that Bush cooked the intel to justify his war while Trump isn't even bothering to do that. According to Bibi, Iran has been two weeks away from having a nuke for the last twenty years.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's the endgame? Are we going to occupy a country of 92 million people? We'd have to send the entire goddamn army to do the occupation, because nobody's going to help us this time around.
The Iranians still have heartburn over the CIA's coup 72 years ago. How much trouble is Trump buying for this country?
I'm sure they've still got those backpack nukes , that they bought from the USSR breakup. Been itching to use them against the Great Satan ever since hmm.
ReplyDeleteTrump is wanting a reason to destroy the Dome of the Rock. So that he can rebuild the new temple as is foretold in his guide to the apocalypse
