I just watched Mr. Potato head ( tom cotton ) spout a lot of gibberish, ostensibly as an attempt to justify America's belligerent stance toward Iran. Here's the argument; the senate armed forces committee has received reports of Iranian terrorism escalation and advised the administration to take steps. Did they receive these reports from our Intelligence services? Nope, they got them from the State Department. Did the State department get IT'S intelligence from our intelligence services? Nope, they got it from the White House, specifically from the National Security council lead by, yep, you guessed it............Bolton.

So, the senate believes that Iran is at the brink of war, because the Pompeo says they are, who got his intel from Bolton..........................who just made s**t up..........................and advised Trump to do something. It's no secret that Mr. Potato Head has had a hardon for Iran since before he got to the Senate, and has been merciless in his condemnation of the JCPOA and was instrumental in getting Trump to abandon the deal..............well, along with Netanyahu of course.

We know from the Iraq debacle, that whenever an administration wants a war, they direct their own Intelligence sources to provide the justification for it......................and get it. We also know that, eventually, the t***h comes out and America regrets getting duped again by their own leaders. How many young service members will need to die this time, how many bodies permanently damaged, to satisfy some political or personal agenda?

If nothing else, Americans should DEMAND that we end one of our current wars, before starting another one. The Armed Forces are NOT the enforcers for politicians and their agendas, yet time and again, that's exactly what they are used for. Military intervention should be the LAST resort, yet we've become comfortable making it the FIRST tool out of the box. Every time we open that toolbox, someone's sons and daughters, someone's Mother or Father - dies.
