Tulsi Gabbard is right: Trump’s cabinet is full of ‘chicken hawks’
Washington Examiner ^ | June 26 2019 | Brad Polumbo

Posted on 06/26/2019 8:09:18 PM PDT by rintintin

In a presidential debate with nine candidates and one Beto O’Rourke on stage, it’s hard to stand out. So tonight, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard leaned on her credentials as a military veteran and her reputation for restrained foreign policy, taking a hard stance on the Trump administration that’s sure to stand out.

She said:

The president and his chicken hawk cabinet led us to the brink of war with Iran. I served in the war in Iraq at the height of the war in 2005, a war that took over 4,000 of my brothers and sisters in uniforms' lives. The American people need to understand this war would be far more devastating, far more costly than anything we saw in Iraq.

Tulsi will be the VP candidate for the dems, prezactly because of her military service. Also, she is a raging extremist.

“There may or may not have been WMD in Iraq.”

There is. A 2005 report from the United States Department of State claimed that Iran began work on offensive biological weapons during the Iran–Iraq War, and that their large legitimate bio-technological and bio-medical industry “could easily hide pilot to industrial-scale production capabilities for a potential BW program, and could mask procurement of BW-related process equipment”. The report further said that “available information about Iranian activities indicates a maturing offensive program with a rapidly evolving capability that may soon include the ability to deliver these weapons by a variety of means” That was 14 years ago.

A U.S. Central Intelligence Agency report dated January 2001 speculated that Iran had manufactured and stockpiled chemical weapons – including blister, blood, choking, and probably nerve agents, and the bombs and artillery shells to deliver them. It further claimed that during the first half of 2001, Iran continued to seek production technology, training, expertise, equipment, and chemicals from entities in Russia and China that could be used to help Iran reach its goal of having indigenous nerve agent production capability. 18 years ago. The Fajr-3, Shahab-2, Shahab-3, Sejil 1 and Sejil 2 are all operational missiles with varying payloads and ranges from 300 to 2100 KM. All are capable of chem, bio, and nuclear capacity. A Shahab-5, an intercontinental ballistic missile has been alleged but not proven to be under development. Don’t trust them. It’s been known that Iran has had nuclear capacity since 2006 as they got the technology from Pakistan, Russia, and North Korea. If the Shahab-5 becomes a reality, they will have intercontinental capacity. First stop, our allies in Israel.

It does demonstrate a willingness to sacrifice for the country, however. Too many pols get out of law school and weasel their way into “ public service,” only to spend their lives at the trough.

Gabbard is way off base. Trump CANCELLED the plan to attack Iran. He is no warmonger, which is one of the reasons The Swamp despises him so much.

No, he was married to a woman. Her name was Eleanor.

“If she was worth a crap, she wouldn’t be a Demonrat to begin with......”

She lives in Hawaii.

If she seriously wants a political future, she damn well better run as a Democrat.

Or relocate to Wyoming.
