He’s lying, smell Iraq all over again! Still waiting to see the WMD’s
Yeah it’s not like Iran has issued statements saying they abandoned enrichment limits. Iran will regret taking aid and comfort from Kerry and Obama.
Starts his answer with gratuitous flag waving, then proceeds walking backwards. Keeps mentioning “the battlefield” when the US is not at war.
They’re f**king lying through their teeth. Don’t believe them.
We all know that they’re lying. Idiots!
Never knew you could de-escalate a situation by escalating it 😂
Ever seen a bully get punched in the nose? All of a sudden they arent so mean anymore
@Caleb Morrell you’re right, someone needs to punch Trump in the face
@Caleb Morrell ya they got so scared… They killed thirty of our guys at military bases in retaliation.
“We always follow international laws except when we need some oil or to sell weapons. “
He can be good politician the way he lying and making stories and diverting
Idiot what is he lying about? What do you know airhead
@Kinereta Vaasili Hey, Drumpfuck, judging by Your lack of morals, values and principles, I can tell that You have many good Fiends.
@Kinereta Vaasili And WTF do YOU know ?
I would like to know who drafted that letter
The Brigadere General of our arms forces and HE SIGNED IT!!
If it was drafted at all…….
he literally said that the evidence was razor thin…. that means there was no evidence….
The “ticking timebomb” is how they lied us into invading IRaQ.
Yup. I still remember them saying..weapons of mass destruction.
Bobby Muller was a lying Sack Of. You fill in the rest
@Johnny Almager always bringing up stuff they know nothing about… want to find that quote from Mueller you allude to? YOu can’t, it doesn’t exist unless you preface it with …” according to Powell and others in the administration dot dot dot – better to find it and read it than to lie about someone lying
No that was Condi’s infamous
“Mushroom cloud”, remember?
@Johnny Almager the Muller Report locked up Manafort, Gates, Stone and Flynn. It got 37 Russians kicked out and 39 convictions. The Steel Dossier is the gift that keeps on giving. Everything in it is true! Waiting on the Pee Pee Tape and the funny part is Republican’s paid for the Steel Dossier! Lol!
When he says our interests in the region. They don’t want you there anymore.
The skipping around is so telling…
“More than razor thin” was laughable
He atleast has more to add than Pompeo
i had to laugh at that too: “more than razor thin” means super, SUPER thin intelligence.
US official says the evidence about Soleimani planning a sinister attack against the US was “razor thin” and they immediately killed him lmao 🤦♂️ I bet there’s even no evidence they’re just trying so hard to justify their actions.
Yep they tell them how proud they are when they send them marching to war, it’s different when when and if they make it back home
lady bug true
When are the good citizens of USA gonna rise to the occasion and drag this clown out from The W.H.
@mohammed mohiuddin Loosen the towel around your head, mohammed….
Its cutting off the flow of blood to your brain….
Only ONE “Commander in Chief”….
@Major Tom The problem with taking this guy out in the way that Trump did is that it was, literally, an act of war. Suleimani has already been replaced, just as our top general would be if he were killed. Killing him didn’t really stop anything. However, the resulting war that this is triggering will, in the end, cause the deaths of a lot more of our American soldiers and puts both American civilians and our allies (what few we have left after Trump) in danger. Ideally, war would be avoided through diplomatic means – but starting with Trump tearing up the nuclear agreement and repeating again and again since then, the Trump administration has shown to the world that diplomatic negotiations with the US can not be trusted.
STFU Charlie Foxtrot
@Major Tom what about China and Mexico from bringing all those opioids into the country killing thousands upon thousands of Americans a year what about our own pharmaceutical companies doing the same and they get away with at the end of the day what Trump did was wrong did not go through Congress or the Senate this was done illegally and now he’s saying he’s going to attack cultural sites which is a war crime get your facts straight and take off the maga hat
“That’s what the Iraqi people want”? Funny how they voted to say the exact opposite.
Some oppose it and some welcome it.
David Green yes. unanimously for Americans to leave.
@Thatguybrad well…if the House controlled by Dems or GOP has a vote…does it make it less so because one party voted more for it than the other? Last I checked…usually…that’s how laws eventually get passed…isn’t much bi-partisanship going on here ya’ know…
His answer lacked specificity……. it seems like he doesn’t know what he is talking about … pathetic
Sounding a lot more like when Iraq was alleged to have weapons of mass destruction.
Seems like he is reading Everything he’s saying from a script screen 📺 look at his eyeballs
No duh. You cant just freestyle classified information
“His time was due” is NOT the statement of a law abiding nation.
America has been fighting a “War on Terror” for 20 years and has achieved what exactly?
