Trump and Bolton Are Putting War With Iran on a Hair Trigger

  • Trump and Bolton Are Putting War With Iran on a Hair Trigger
    by Bob Dreyfuss, https://www.thenation.com/
    The announcement that the Pentagon is sending a strike force to the Middle East caps a yearlong campaign of threats and intimidation.

    Is it Iraq all over again? Is President Donald Trump, egged on by two ultra-hawkish advisers in National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, seeking to launch an illegal, unauthorized war against a country in the Middle East after demonizing its leaders and making bogus charges about weapons of mass destruction? Just as President George W.

(The exact quote, according to Axios, came in a speech by Pompeo to an Iranian-American group, in which he said, “Even if we [were], would I be telling you guys about it?”)
