No, I wasn’t there. Too old.
They didn’t stockpile 500 tons of yellowcake uranium for giggles that’s for sure.
Saddam wasn’t prepared thanks to his ego and low IQ. But how would we have known that when he defied 17 UN resolutions to let inspectors in and played hide and seek with the ones who did go in?
And what are the chances the Iranians would motor on up to the tanker with the US somehow coming up with just grainy, black and white footage circa 1952?
The Japanese vessel owner himself has said it was a projectile, not an attached mine.
Rhodes is a criminal creep, but this has the usual hallmarks of a Deep State false flag. Is Trump complicit or fooled?
Thomas E. Ricks wrote a devastating piece about this wholly unqualified guy at https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/12/28/a-stunning-profile-of-ben-rhodes-the-asshole-who-is-the-presidents-foreign-policy-guru-4/
It is worth a read!
Here is a very brief taste: “. . . he comes off like an overweening little schmuck.”
He does ... and what more needs to be said? lol
An awful lot of Democrats come off like that. Especially ones who served in the 0bamacrat administration.
Rhodes is no different than the FR Putin Puffers...
I got a neighbor down the road that has the same opinion as tin.
I actually wonder if its him.
I got into it with him and made this comment.
“If a terrorist took a one pint bottle of radioactive material and dumped it off a building in say NYC, what would happen?”
He wouldnt answer.
I made the mistake of talking politics with my cousin, 20 years my junior, last year. I’ll never do that again.
He is reasonably intelligent it seems, very likeable, works as and EMT and fireman. Good father and husband.
Argues just like every liberal. Jumps from one thing to another to try to keep you off balance while smirking like he won some kind of prize by tossing straw man and red herring bombs after each change of direction. Similar to what’s going on here.
LOL!
Indeed! 0bama didn’t like having anyone around him that was smarter than him which set a very low bar for his hires. ValJar was an exception he had to make in order to have any sort of functional office at all.
On the one hand, I understand the desire to put out misinformation (or unverified information) about our enemies to put them on the defensive or just to see how they (and their own allies) react.
On the other hand, we have a desire to see that our government isn't lying to justify their own plans to take action. (For the record, I don't think that "WMD in Iraq" was lying to justify attacking, but I do think that "video to incite Muslims" was a lie to cover inaction in Benghazi).
That said, if we are doing the former to psyops the Iranians and their allies, then what is it when Democrats try to undermine that strategy by publicly questioning the public statements of the President?
Are the Democrats insisting that the United States be above reproach in our foreign policy, that we must be honest and truthful at all times when dealing with our enemies?
Would Ben Rhodes have exposed the fake tanks and news of impending landings at Calais in advance of D-Day as doubting the news if Trump were President back then?

This country would truly benefit by having a lot more guys like Dan Crenshaw in the halls of Congress.
Thank you. I’m tired of hearing that the US was lied to about WMD’s in Iraq. Plenty of WMD’s were found in Iraq, but once again the lying media did its part to lie about it/cover it up in order to embaress the Bush admin.

You’re welcome. I hope you’ll read post #16 too because WMDs were far from the only reason we went to Iraq. To say that it was is itself a lie.
)phonybama surrounded himself with Communist sycophants and “Yes” people!
Valjar was the “man” behind Ophonybama’s curtain, and Soros was behind her curtain!
LOL Too true! So glad that’s in the past now.

TRUMP CONDEMNS ATTACK ON JUSSIE SMOLLETT — Jan 31, 2019
President Trump on Thursday condemned the reported attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, which is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
“That I can tell you is horrible. It doesn’t get worse,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Smollett has said two men approached him on Tuesday and hit him while yelling racist and homophobic slurs, then placed a rope around his neck. The incident has drawn national attention.
“I’m tired of hearing that the US was lied to about WMD’s in Iraq.”

TRUMP SAYS BUSH ‘LIED’TO GET US INTO IRAQ
As the latest Republican presidential debate opened Saturday, Donald Trump, in a heated exchange with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, bluntly accused George W. Bush of lying about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to fool Americans into supporting the war in Iraq.
“Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake, all right?” Trump thundered when asked about his call for then-President George W. Bush to be impeached. “They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none.”
Trump added, “George Bush made the mistake. We can make mistakes, but that one was a beauty.”
I thought you said, several times, that “Trump can make mistakes?”
Is that only when you decide he does?
