Sounding more like a 'declaration of war' than a policy statement,
Dotard's hawkish Sec of State laid down demands for Iraq.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speech this week on next steps in US policy toward Iran read more like a call to war than a carefully crafted foreign policy stance.
Pompeo's threat to bring Iran to its knees with punishing economic sanctions clearly won't get the job done, especially since the Trump administration has just alienated its most important potential partners by withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. Good luck getting France, or the United Kingdom, or Germany, much less Russia or China.
So that leaves military action. A bombing campaign could kill thousands of Iranians, but it would be extremely unlikely to undercut Tehran's ability to restart its nuclear weapons program, and might even accelerate that effort. Last but not least, as one analyst of the region has noted, a full-scale war against Iran would make the Iraq and Afghan conflicts look like "a walk in the park."
SOOOOO, welcome to 'Repubs in charge' again, as they can't wait for the next REAL 'bombs and bullets' war that they love so much...
Why would this time be different?
VA hospitals beware........
