It’ll work, too.
Remember, this is the country that took ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, despite no medical indication, over vaccines, because Trump said so.
22 years later im still furious iraq happened. I said Iran would be their next target and sure enough they waited until a Republican was into their 2nd term
Trump’s style has made people think he’s different from the Bushes, but that’s the only difference. All his Supreme Court nominees were Bush people, his Big Beautiful nonsense bill is just the next level of Bush tax cuts for the rich. He’s just like them, only more blatantly crueler.
It’s okay. He can just take up painting afterward and everyone will love him again, too.
Weapons of mass destruction…. was the bait…. and the war in Iraq to enrich themselves through military contracts was the switch!
It’s happening again!
Trump is a pathological liar, who doesn’t understand geopolitics. I think whoever is giving Trump advice on this is lying to him.
There’s a lot in this article that doesn’t quite follow, but the most glaring is the inability to distinguish Iraq from Iran. 2003 Iraq no less. And somehow, completely fails to mention the fact that Iran has intentionally been wreaking havoc in the region for over 3 decades. You don’t have to agree with action against Iran, but at least show a basic understanding of the region and situation.
Colin Powell rises from the dead to testify in front of Congress with satellite images of ~~Iraq’s~~ Iran’s weapons of mass destruction.
To act like Biden would treat this any differently is so ridiculous
We knew Iraq didn’t have the bombs. The NYT knew. They just folded at the request of the bush administration and didn’t publish.
All that blood is on their hands.
American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day (anti Bush / Iraq war) relevant after 20 years .. who would have thought …
Cheney is still guarded by our tax dollars after outing valerie plame, a cia agent on foriegn deployment in wartime because she wouldn’t lie about yellow cake uranium.
Letting these fucking Republican traitors get away with this shit and rewrite history after the fact is what brought us here.
Just wants peace and an end to war…..within 100 days sprints into an economic war, starts a civil war between red and blue states and a war in the Middle East…….what’s next? A war with China too? The 25 47 now.
All you have to say is “Like Donald Trump, Donald Trump is lying his way into war.”
This article bases its entire conclusion off of Tulsi Gabbard’s intelligence given to the Senate. She’s already proven to be a liar, and she is being shut out of the discussions.
The IAEA report is what’s scaring people. Not something that Trump is making up. It’s why France, Germany and the UK are also invested in this.
The European countries are pushing for a diplomatic resolution, and I absolutely think the US should join them and try to end this peacefully.
Why the need to pretend the issue doesn’t exist, or isn’t real instead of discussing why we shouldn’t use it as a justification for war?
They are puppets and are blackmailed into pushing their agenda. Rothschild himself he vented Israel. He is one of the ones ruling the media and stores and buying up all the land.
I’m French, and I still remember de Villepin’s applauded speech at the UN, saying that the story of weapons of mass destruction was a fake intended to invade Iraq. France was seen as America’s enemy because of this speech, and in the United States, anti-French acts were frequent.
But now, while France viewed Bush’s policies with a negative eye, they seem much more moderate today, compared to what the uneducated Donald Trump is inflicting on both the world and his people. However, the saddest thing is that people never learn from the mistakes of the past, which means that humanity is, in my opinion, totally screwed, and I think it will disappear much faster than expected.
Spoiler, that’s not the only thing he is lying about.
Well let’s face it. Telling lies is the only thing he knows how to do. So much winning.
I voted for the Black lady who told the country exactly what he’d do when elected.
It’s what stupid immature GOP guys unfit for the office of president ddo.
Remember when Tump had secret plans to invade Iran that he was flashing around to a journalist?
At least the Bush admin had the common decency to make up some intel about WMDs… Trump is just taking Netanyahu’s word for it, and then ignoring any intel our agencies have to the contrary.
Can someone please help me understand this situation?
The article says Trump is lying that Iran is days away from building a nuclear bomb, which is obviously isn’t going to happen.
However, as per CNN article linked in the op, Iran could potentially build a crude nuclear weapon in a matter of months, at most up to three years is they choose to do so. To add to that, the International atomic energy agency said that ‚Iran had amassed enough uranium enriched at levels just below weapons-grade to potentially make nine nuclear bombs, which it termed “a matter of serious concern.”
So if Iran is enriching uranium way above what’s needed just for energy production, isn’t it reasonable to say they’ll probably develop nuclear weapons in the near future?
Remember when Israel celebrated that 9/11 happened to us because they knew we’d go to war for them?
So then why doesnt the media hold them accountable before sending our sons and daughters to die on a sand dune half way around the world? Oh yes! They’re paid well to ignore it
But this time it’s not as believable.
And like Obama with Syria and Libya.
Colonialism in new avatar
The playbook is almost exactly the same. Same lies being told. But Trump doesn’t have the country riding a wave of anger from 9/11. He is not going to get the public support Bush did
The truth escapes him, just ask Melania.
