Remember when the United States invaded Iraq under the excuse that Iraq, under President and megalomaniac Saddam Hussein, had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs)? Oh, some readers might be a trifle young.
And President Bush ordered the invasion despite his intelligence services telling they didn’t think there were WMDs? No WMDs were ever found.
And now we’ve hit Iran because President and megalomaniac Donald J. Trump believes the Iranians were only weeks, or months, away from completing nuclear weapons development.
Not an assessment – or excuse – to which his intelligence professionals agree.
So this CNN headline
How Trump quietly made the historic decision to launch strikes in Iran
while technically accurate, ignores the pattern in Republican Presidents to ignore inconvenient advice, making a mockery of running the best Administrations possible in favor of fiscal advantage and emotional preconception.
I wonder how many innocent Iranian citizens will die in this needless conflict?
