The Fantasy War That Never Was

Over the past few weeks, the media have been singing in 100-part harmony that America is headed to war. From Fox News and CNN, to MSNBC and the New York Times, media magpies have been proclaiming that America is going to war with Iran, thanks to the rube-in-chief who has no idea what he is doing.

The New York Times declares the U.S. and Iran are, “At the edge of war.”

The Wall Street Journal at least asks, “Will the U.S. and Iran blunder into war?” The Washington Post acknowledges that, “War with Iran is not inevitable” except for Orange-Man in the White House, adding “But the U.S. must change course.”

It’s interesting and instructive that for the left, it’s always the U.S. that is at fault, that we must change course. Granted sometimes it is, as in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, wars started by the past two presidents.

We have been at war with Iran for 40 years, since the Georgia peanut farmer thought the semi-thuggish Shah of Iran was a bad guy, and a religious fanatic would be a better choice to lead the country.

The reality is that President Trump is changing course, fulfilling a campaign promise to get America out of the endless wars instigated by his predecessors. His doctrine of national security through economic strength is paying dividends

My liberal cousin and his left-wing nut wife are upset. They were all predicting that President Trump would start WWIII. They were having orgasms at the thought that they could blame Trump for starting a war. They are so upset now that there won't be a war...

Who da thunk that taking out an Iranian terrorist would be the dog whistle heard and responded to by every traitor and traitorous organization in the country.

Oh yes, a few on my libtard friends and I use that term loosely are all giddy about the use of force. I had to remind them about a guy called Obama. You know that guy that used the US military as a door mat and there was praise about his intelligence and global knowledge. I swear back then these people thought Obama walked on water.
Fast forward to today and they are all up in arms that this situation is leading to war and the planet will burn. I have since made note that these people are just crazy and are in need of medical attention.
Insanity abounds with the media and the left.
