Trump is itching for war: If you think Iraq was a bad war wait until you see Iran

[UCmeNdc]

Appearing on MSNBC’s 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 Trump’s 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 he’s 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.”

2. +1. NK actually has a military, conventional weapons, and WMDs. Iraq had nothing,

that's why we invaded themm

3. That's not what Colin Powell told congress

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.

4. Iran:

Three times as large as Iraq, and highly mountainous - poor tank country. History teaches us that an insurgency with a lot of mountains to hide in probably can't be beat.

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.
