BANNON: Iraq wasn’t a failure of intelligence. It wasn’t an honest mistake. It was a bald-faced lie. You were lied to. President Trump told the world that. Told the Bushes that. That’s one of the reasons he’s President of the U.S. And we’re getting bald-faced lies right now.

YES.
Read President Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality (April 22, 1793) -- specifically as it pertained to both France and Great Britain.
I think the bald faced lie might be a reference to being told Iraq would be an ousting of Saddam versus the reality which was a 20 year war with mass US casualties and a high price tag with almost no return on our our investment.
Congress has chosen to not enforce their own powers. They will run for cover on War Powers and continue ceding their oversight, just like they did with Obama and Syria. Rand Paul never impeached or held Obama accountable for that one.
It’s bald.
You ask: “And, do you remember the many times over the past 30 years Netanyahu has claimed Iran was on the verge of getting nukes? He’s like the boy that cries wolf.”
No, I am not that well versed. For those here like me, please begin in 1995 and provide evidence for your claim.
There are at least nine countries in the world today that have known nuclear arsenals. If that number was ten, twenty, or more ... what difference would it make?
Iran has paused at the final step to making nuclear triggers. They probably need a little more time than two weeks, but the point is they are poised to do so as soon as the world leadership allows. Israel and the US are not wrong. Thing is, why let them sit there at the ready. Since they have been behind many attacks, paid for by the USA, we should take responsibility and destroy their nuclear weapons program in its entirety. No boots on ground needed.
Didn’t he have lunch with Trump I’m the WH a day or so ago?
The clip says we are getting lies right now, thats prob not about Iraq.
I’m just concerned about the one country that has officially, and repeatedly sworn our destruction.
Iran stands alone there.
Thanks for that. You are correct. Anyone claiming the formal reasons for going into Iraq being based on WMD has never read the materials cited.
Ditto.
Iran could resolve all its problems if they’d allow American inspectors in to thoroughly assess their uranium enrichment facilities. Since they won’t, they deserve what Israel chooses to do with them.
He is correct. The proper term is bald-faced lies.
I believe the X post referred to supposed lies told at the start of the Iraq war and a comparison made to what is happening now.
And why should they do that it’s none of your business
👍👍👍👍👍
“I thought he would be smarter than that but perhaps not.”
Unfortunately Trump is not as smart as you, obviously. If only you could guide us.
Calm down, panican. Bannon is just panican for clicks.
Panicans gonna panic.
