Trump Wants War
BY SHAHED GHOREISHI 03.25.2018
Elevating John Bolton to national security advisor suggests that Trump is preparing for the very wars he promised to avoid.

Last Thursday, President Trump moved one step closer to completing his preferred cabinet. General H. R. McMaster, whom Trump called boring, was replaced as national security advisor by ultra-hawk John Bolton. This is the same John Bolton who wrote the forward for Pamela Geller’s hate-filled book about President Obama, called on Israel to nuke Iran, urged the United States to bomb Iran and North Korea, abused a female US Agency for International Development (USAID) employee, advocated on behalf of the National Rife Association for more gun rights for Russian citizens, and still defends the Iraq war. I could go on.

Trump’s other appointments have similar attributes. Mike Pompeo, set to take over in Foggy Bottom, compared Iran to the Islamic State and called it a “thuggish police state” that is “intent [on] destroying America.” Gina Haspel, set to take over the CIA, has a history of torturing detainees under the Bush administration. She even destroyed the recordings taken of the torture years later. Meanwhile, John Kelly remains in a precarious position as chief of staff.

This team constitutes a gang of evil.

1. Trump wants distraction

The fool believes a war will rally people to his side... and keep his ass out of jail.

3. Duh . . .

Shithole through the fucked up advice from Bolton, etc. will attack North Korea first since at this point in time they are the weaker country compared to Iran and others.

The shithole party of republicans will sit back and blame Obama, Clintons and the Dems and probably "March for our Lives".

4. Interesting....

that a sizable part of his base use to site his campaign rhetoric denouncing foreign wars as a basis for their support.

5. Why is that so surprising?

[paleotn]

8. Not surprising. Cults are like that.

Just interesting. And one more useful point for backing flaming trumpsters into a corner

7. Oh yeah

I've even seen some freepers bitching about the Bolton hire by Dumpster.

[paleotn]

10. Some freepers are actually consistent...

and honest with themselves. But quite a few will just say..."this isn't like the Bush / Obama wars"...when in reality, it's same old BS.

11. Rimjob will run them out eventually

Although it seems he has run off too many.

The freeper beg-a-thons are reaching epic lengths nowadays LOL

6. Remember this little tidbit?

snip

On Saturday, the staff of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, the ranking Democrat on the committee, released an e-mail from a Texas woman claiming that she was threatened by Bolton in 1994 when he became angry over her work on a private contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development in Kyrgyzstan.

Melody Townsel of Dallas complained to the committee that Bolton had shouted at her, thrown papers at her, chased her down a hotel hallway in Moscow and pounded on her room door. She labeled his behavior as "pathological," a description that is consistent with statements from other former co-workers of Bolton who told committee members that he has a hot temper.

He has been called a "kiss up, kick down" kind of person. IOW, perfect for Trump's administration.

9. Bolton belongs in a psychiatric facility

inside a correctional facility

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

12. No, he needs one

That's the scary part. He knows it's about to hit the fan and his only winning strategy is to "defend 'merica" by bombing somebody. Why else would he bring on Bolton. Didn't Bolton used to be stupid according to Trump?

All former Bush administration officials should have zero standing on Syria. Iraq was a waste of blood & treasure.

13. When trump starts a war happens (I didn't say "if"), it will take a draft to get the manpower.

Imagine that. trump bringing back the draft.
