The Banking Families are pleased but not completely satisfied. They won't rest til it's theirs.
Of course it takes a libertarian to bring up the real reason.

Then YOU do it and YOU pay for it out of your own pocket. Don't make me or the rest of the American income theft victims fund it.

Taxation is theft.

It is scary how reminiscent of Iraq some of the comments being made today are. Netanyahu made a very similar speech to our Congress in 2002 to goad us into the Iraq invasion that he makes now about Iran.

In his 2002 hearing:

"Invading Iraq will have enormous positive reverberations on the entire region"

"There is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons. No question whatsoever."

Neither turned out to be true. I think I actually trust Netanyahu less than Trump.

The USA should leave Iran alone. Iran has a right to exist, has the right to their own government, has the right to nuclear weapons (yeah, I said it though by all accounts they're not pursuing nuclear weapons). Ever since Mossadeq, the USA has been acting like an immoral bully with Iran.

For starters ~ how about a new and improved treaty since Trump trashed the one we had?

Let's just start there and see what the great negotiator can do.

What do you think America should do with Iran?

What does Putin want? That will be Trump's policy in Iran.

IF Bebe thinks invading anywhere unprovoked is a good idea let him spend Israeli blood and Israeli $$$ doing so and let him bear sole responsibility for the outcome.
