Appearing on MSNBCs AM Joy on Sunday morning, the former chief of staff to ex-Secretary of State Colin Powell warned that hardliner Republicans in the Senate are anxious to see the Iran deal go away allowing the U.S. to engage in another war in the Middle East.
Speaking with host Joy Reid, retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said the saber-rattling at North Korea combined with President Donald Trumps desire to back out of a nuclear deal with Iran is setting the stage for 17 more years of war.
The German minister said what Trump has done is make the Iran agreement into a domestic policy thing, meaning domestic politics, host Reid suggested. By doing that hes assured that the new agreement will fail ultimately, and then what you have is one choice: war. The end game is to provoke Iran enough so we can go to war.

(17,984 posts)Just remember, that was back in a time when lying was a big no no. Under this administration, there are going to be so many lies used as reasons to go to war it'll make your head spin. And no one is going to be doing any checks to make sure the administration is telling the truth. We are going to see Sarah Suckabee flapping her lips about child pornography/slavery rings in downtown Tehran.

Iran has a large, mostly homogeneous population, with very few mutually-hostile armed factions like Iraq.
If George W. Bush was a colossal idiot for invading and occupying Iraq, there are no words awful enough to describe Trump if he dares to attack Iran.
