Taking a page out of Bush's playbook

[v.britton]

I don't believe it.
Liars like these have done it before.
Like in Vietnam .

[bladerunner]

same kind of reckless and unsubstantiated accusations that had us back bush and his crap about weapons of mass destruction, that eventually led us into the unjustified invasion of iraq and the death of millions of innocent civilians. how soon we forget.

And thus the drumbeat to war intensifies...

The PM of Japan was in Iran yesterday for Peace talks. The next day Iran attacks a tanker?? Really? 😒

[williamhilton]

Now that was some hyperbole. This is why honesty and integrity are vital. When your administration lies daily, how can we believe anything?

Pompeo declared not long ago that "I was the director of the CIA. We lie, cheat and steal. We had training courses, "said the Secretary of State, who was also director of the CIA from January 23, 2017 until April 26, 2018.
The expressions of Pompeo were said last April 15 in a forum of the University of Texas, unleashed the laughter of those present at the event, also loud applause. However, users of social networks criticized these revelations.
Pompeo occupies and he has occupied important positions, it is supposed that he should have an irreproachable moral, but he is only a political delinquent, by his ideas, appearance and last name he seems a member of the gang of Al Capone.
Probably these explosions are self-attacks of USA to justify actions against Iran, the words of a mobster like Pompeo must be taken with caution.
The United States has a long experience in fabricating incidents when they suit their foreign policy, they have no moral limitations in this sense.

Did I miss the part where the babies were thrown from the incubators and left to die on the cold floor?

[richardpotter]

Uh, we have the capability. We start Doo Doo and blame others all the time.

[nataliemendelsohn]

Where's the evidence? Pompeo: "that's the wrong question Jim"

Seriously, what a dangerous game we are playing here. What if you got it wrong? Pompeo: Oh those dead people are just collateral damage then i guess :\

[shish_vahasht]
