Kerry can’t be trusted to hit the ground when he pees. He is in it for himself and operating totally outside of our government which is supposed to be illegal.
Too bad Trump does not have a Hil LIAR y list.

I am curious and I know it doesn’t actually matter but has Bolton said anything?

Sometimes “accidents” happen. It would be convenient if John F’n Kerry “accidentally” was killed in an attack on another target.

Bolton tweeted support for the action. No surprise there as he has called for us to be far more aggressive towards Iran for many years.

He tweeted if you check his twitter feed:

“””

Congratulations to all involved in eliminating Qassem Soleimani. Long in the making, this was a decisive blow against Iran’s malign Quds Force activities worldwide. Hope this is the first step to regime change in Tehran.

This is an interesting threat.

If I am understanding it right Linsey Graham is saying that if Iran does anything then the US will take out the Iranian oil fields.

That’s a rather big threat. Especially since the US could do it easily. It would help Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, and the Saudis too because it would give them more customers. Knocking out refineries and pumping stations could cause Iran 15 to 30 years of problems

This is all that was left of him.

I agree with Senator Graham... Once Iranian defense assets are targeted successfully, it would be time to make water, power fuel, transportation, food etc. real tough to come by. And I pray we never have to do it.

I doubt he will speak. He is very loyal to the Office of the President and the duties and obligations of the office. He will NOT speak harshly of the President’s actions in any way, shape or form.

Iran has ONE oil refinery. Cripple their economy. Bring trade and industry to a halt.Revolution in the streets. Blow up the refinery and threaten to blow up their pipelines and block their ports to prevent importing refined petroleum.

No trains. No delivery trucks. No tanks. No cars. No gas. Just angry citizens with a ton of time on their hands because there are no jobs to go to and food is running low.

You even have Democrats like Obama’s former Secretary of State John Kerry holding private meetings with Iran basically admitting he’s telling them to “wait Trump out,” he wouldn’t be there long

There is a special place in hell for this man Kerry.

I would be disappointed if the retaliation left the Iranian Navy with a John boat and a paddle.

To take out Iran, and stop most of this nonsense for a generation, you have to also take out Qatar. And that has far bigger implications than just a war with Iran.

It is time to prosecute Horseface KERRY. The Logan Act provides the law.
