Morning Joe: 'Not To Throw Cold Water,' But Iran Strikes Could Make Us 'Less Safe!'

For every silver lining, we must find a cloud!

That is, if you're the liberal media, and the Trump administration and Israel have pulled off audacious strikes on Iran, severely damaging its nuclear facilities and eliminating many of its top military leaders and nuclear scientists.

Thus it was that on Monday's Morning Joe, Katty Kay introduced a segment on the results of the strikes by proclaiming her intent was "not to throw cold water on any potential optimism" as to how there could be a moment for Israel to find peace with Saudi Arabia and in Gaza.

In a discussion with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, Kay then proceeded to cite a conversation with Karim Sadjadpour, an Iranian-American policy analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

According to Kay, Sadjadpour described several possible scenarios that:

"Could see Iran rushing for a nuclear weapon now, not doing what the Americans are asking and completely disbanding their nuclear program, but actually doing the opposite. And there is a potential that the strikes actually could precipitate a situation in which we're less safe, not more safe, with Iran."

If only Tours in 732 and Vienna in 1529 and 1683 hadn’t attacked the Religion of Peace (TM) then Europe would have been a lot safer!

With 96% voting for the Kackler, their brains have already been vaporized. Not much work left to do.

Idiot.

What made the US less safe was democrat rule for four years and letting millions of unvetted illegals with unknown health issues into this country.
