he list of warmongering excuses is nearly endless. Here's 10 of them. It's OK to kill someone today if there is reason to believe they may do something wrong in the future: Senator Lindsey Graham January 3, 2020. "This was not an act of revenge for what he had done in the past. This was a preemptive, defensive strike planned to take out the organizer of attacks yet to come." Apparently only the US has this right. Assassinating foreign leaders is OK and does not constitute an act of war. Trump, Graham, Ben Shapiro, and too many neocons to count. Declared wars, who needs em? Bush, Obama, Hillary, Trump. Rand Paul Mocks the idea October 15, 2019. "Senator Graham and Hillary Clinton stood together to support Islamic extremists in the Syrian civil war. America should come first," said Paul It will be a short war: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld November 2002 Keeping US troops in Iraq will only cost $3.9 billion: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld 2003 It's OK for the US to fight everyone else's war: Bush, Cheney, Obama, Hillary, Trump, and every neocon, too many to name. In contrast, "I’m tired of America always paying for everybody else’s war," said Rand Paul, February 4, 2019. Crippling economic sanctions are not an act of war. Who cares how many starve to death? Too many neocons to count. "We Came, We Saw, He Died!": Hillary Clinton joked in 2011 when told of news reports of Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi death at US hands. Libya is now a Jihadist wonderland led by ISIS and Al Qaueda. Iran's retaliation in response to Trump's Assassination of a foreign leader was an "Act of War" but the assassination was not: Senator Lindsey Graham, January 7, 2020. "In order to get elected, Barrack Obama will start a war with Iran": Donald Trump November 29, 2011. Here's a bonus 11th. "We have to get them over there so they don't get us here." That goes back at least to the wonderful domino theory and false flag incident that kicked off the Vietnam War. Iran History Lesson Iran has every reason to mistrust if not hate the US for its role in the 1953 Iranian Coup D'état. The coup the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953, orchestrated by the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project or "Operation Ajax") and the United Kingdom (under the name "Operation Boot"). It was the first covert action of the United States to overthrow a foreign government during peacetime. In August 2013, sixty years afterward, the U.S. government formally acknowledged the U.S. role in the coup by releasing a bulk of previously classified government documents that show it was in charge of both the planning and the execution of the coup, including the bribing of Iranian politicians, security and army high-ranking officials, as well as pro-coup propaganda. The CIA is quoted acknowledging the coup was carried out "under CIA direction" and "as an act of U.S. foreign policy, conceived and approved at the highest levels of government". This is what led to the Iranian revolt years later under President Carter. CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran Foreign Policy Magazine reports CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran In 1988, during the waning days of Iraq’s war with Iran, the United States learned through satellite imagery that Iran was about to gain a major strategic advantage by exploiting a hole in Iraqi defenses. U.S. intelligence officials conveyed the location of the Iranian troops to Iraq, fully aware that Hussein’s military would attack with chemical weapons, including sarin, a lethal nerve agent. The intelligence included imagery and maps about Iranian troop movements, as well as the locations of Iranian logistics facilities and details about Iranian air defenses. The Iraqis used mustard gas and sarin prior to four major offensives in early 1988 that relied on U.S. satellite imagery, maps, and other intelligence. These attacks helped to tilt the war in Iraq’s favor and bring Iran to the negotiating table, and they ensured that the Reagan administration’s long-standing policy of securing an Iraqi victory would succeed. But they were also the last in a series of chemical strikes stretching back several years that the Reagan administration knew about and didn’t disclose. U.S. officials have long denied acquiescing to Iraqi chemical attacks, insisting that Hussein’s government never announced he was going to use the weapons. But retired Air Force Col. Rick Francona, who was a military attaché in Baghdad during the 1988 strikes, paints a different picture. “The Iraqis never told us that they intended to use nerve gas. They didn’t have to. We already knew,” he told Foreign Policy. Saddam & Rumsfeld Shaking Hands And where did Iraq get the chemical weapons? Some allege the US. At a minimum, the US looked the other way. Here's a nice video clip of future Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein on December 20, 1983. Trump Treats US Allies Like Tainted Dog Meat On May 8, 2018, Trump unilaterally withdrawal from a nuclear accord with Iran that China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany signed. Every country but the US said Iran was following the accord. The UK, Germany and France, which all opposed the sanctions, set up an alternative payment mechanism aimed at helping international companies trade with Iran without facing US penalties. Unfortunately, the payment mechanism has been a big failure. Iran has been unable to sell more than minimal amounts of oil. US Steals Iran's Assets and Returns Them Ben Shapiro made the claim today the the money for Iran's attack on the US in Iraq came from the US. This lie stems from the fact that under the accord, Iran gained access to more than $100 billion in assets frozen overseas. We impound Iranian assets, return them, and the likes of Ben Shapiro act as if we "gave" Iran money. US, By Far, the Global Leader in State Terrorism Mike "Mish" Shedlock @MishGEA The US, by far, is the leader in state-sponsored terrorism. No other country comes close. Mind you, the US overthrew a democratically elected Iranian leader and replaced that person with a US puppet to steal Iranian oil. Start there. https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/1214218258586447872 … Lindsey Graham Verified account @LindseyGrahamSC To my Democratic colleagues: 40 years of Iranian aggression needs to be dealt with forcefully. Iran is: ▶️ The largest state sponsor of terrorism. ▶️ Threatening the existence of Israel by arming Hezbollah to the teeth. ▶️ Providing arms to kill Americans in Iraq.
