The contradictions are in force.

Per MSNBC's footage of FoxNews, FoxNews had a band reporting the Pentagon claimed that there were imminent threats from Iran's top general. Yet, there is a post here on DU claiming the exact opposite:


Defense Officials Say Trump Is Lying About Iran Threat

Pentagon officials say that nothing had changed with Iran before Trump and the White House launched an attack and then claimed an imminent threat.

Why isn't anyone putting FoxNew's feet to the fire?

Of course, being stupid and deceptive, he gets the number of attackers wrong, seems to think they escaped to Afghanistan (they all were killed, of course), and neglects the reality of the centuries-old feud between the Iranian Shias and the Saudi Sunnis (the attackers were Sunni).

Not to mention, of course, that just as last year with the Saudi pilot who came here for military training and killed 3 people at Pensacola, the attackers and bin Laden were mostly connected to the Saudis and the Saudi royal family.

That's the same royal family Trump and Pence "forgive" for the Pensacola killings and the Khashoggi murder.

This disinformation has to be stopped!

I hope someone gets a clip of Pence saying those things and then gives a truth enema to flush his lies.

The Dept of Defense was involved in the decision and planning.
Trump is too idiot to know why this guy is or what he does. If Trump gave the OK it's because someone told him this is the thing to do.
Again, the Department of Defense has to be the leader on this.
Same with that shit in Syria and Kurds.

Trumps job was to say, wow, wait a minute, lets look at this. But no, he's all about lets go blow shit up and take the attention off my crimes.
