Super-Hawk Scarborough: Strike Iran Directly After Proxy Attack On US Troops
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/29/2024 7:45:31 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough, Super Hawk!

Reacting to the drone attack on US troops in Jordan by Iranian proxies that killed three soldiers and wounded 25-30 others, on today's Morning Joe Scarborough called for direct strikes against Iran itself.

As Scarborough put it to NBC analyst and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe James Stavridis:

"How much longer is the United States going to allow its troops to be shot at by people who are being funded by Iran? At what point do we not just go to the source of the problem, which has been the source of the problem since 1979, and go to Iran? If Iran, if Iran wants to continue killing Americans, or trying to kill Americans, should we not at least sink one of their ships? Should we not at least blow up their air force? Should we not at least blow up their oil fields? Pick one of the three. I don't care."

I believe Scarborough’s exact quote was “treat Iran like I treat my interns.”

Joe, Joe, Joe, that is not how your buddy Biden rolls. Fall in line with your master and support another pallet of cash for the Mullahs.

He wants a war in the hopes the Globalists can use it as a means to rig yet another US election.

His support is at the behest of his Globalist masters who covered up his murder of Lori Klausutis his aid when he wa sin congress.

Mr. Scarborough has a lot to answer for at the end of life.

Sink all their ships

It’s a matter of time Iran gets nuclear bomb and uses it

They will use it on Israel and Israel will bomb back with nuclear bombs

There will be nuclear bombs going off.

So , do we take out Iran now or wait till they have nuclear bombs ?

Funny how once the Far Left got one of their lunatics in the White Hut, they’ve all became hawks all of a sudden.

When war comes, many folks reflexively rally around the flag and around the president. It doesn’t always last, but it does happen.

Biden is slipping in the polls. Trump-haters know that a good, old-fashioned war would give Biden a boost. So a war we must have.

Yemen does have oil fields. Not much flows at 81K barrels per day, but it’s more than 0. Their oil fields are hundreds of miles from the Red Sea coast. Pretty easy to repair, too, when flow is so small.

As for who funds who, the US funds both the Palestinian Authority and Israel. Iran funding Yemen means nothing.

We (Reagan) never retaliated against them taking our people hostage for 444 days. For some reason, no POTUS except for Trump did anything “kinetic” to them. Instead, we destroyed Iraq and Saddam, making them stronger. It is bewildering.

I voted for the bushes 4 times.

Ultimately they made me regret it 4 times.

The last thing this country needs is another war.

Funny how the so called peaceful Dems are always the ones that get us into the worst wars.

Civil War—600,000+ dead
WW1 (Wilson)— 120,000+ dead
WW2 (Roosevelt)— 400,000+ dead
Korea (Truman) —37,000
Vietnam—(kennedy) —-60,000 dead

Recent wars mostly RINOs.

Only conservative POTUS I can recall in any modern war was McKinley in Spanish American and only a paltry 2000+ died.
