Tornado Alley (PROG)

I'm going to write this one more time and then, fuck it, I give up, you're going to believe whatever makes you happy.

John McCain was caught on camera singing, "bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" during his presidential campaign, ages ago. Various right wing hawks like John Bolton, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, have been trying to drag us into war with Iran for decades. The US and UK overthrew Mossadegh for what is now believed to have been to guarantee the continued free flow of oil. Was that to please Israel, too?

So, a faction of America's policy professionals have been hoping for this for a while, and this provides them cover to attack and have naifs like you believe the US was dragged into something that Presidential advisors have long wanted. Have you forgotten that Reagan gave Saddam chemical weapons to be used against Iran?

Why do you jump at the chance to blame Netanyahu when the blame could rationally and otherwise be found at home?
