Remember how incompetent aspects of Bush's Iraq War were?

*Lies about WMDs
* No clearly defined mission or exit strategy
*Troops not being given protective body gear
* The torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib

Now imagine the US involved in a war against Iran with Donald Trump as President, Pete Fucking Hegseth as the Defensive Secretary, and a media too afraid to question their lies.


GOD HELP US!!!!!!!!!

Ah, the fog of war. If Krasnov wants to finish what Bibi started he will be in for a yuuge surprise, Iran is not Afghanistan or Iraq.

Last night Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said that going into war with Iran will be way worse than the Iraq war. He said last night that Iran is pummeling Israel with missiles. He said that in his opinion our bunker buster bomb will not penetrate Iran's nuclear facility. He said that Iran was not on the brink of getting deliverable nuclear weapons.

He said that sending troops into Iran would be a nightmare.

Be careful where we get our news sources, I trust Colonel Wilkerson. No offense to anyone who posts about Iran here, but I won't click on articles from certain sources.
