We’re at War with Iran Because We Never Punished Bush for Iraq

It’s been three months since the United States and Israel launched their joint attack on Iran on February 28, assassinating Iran’s head of state and slaughtering schoolchildren in Minab. Ever since, the war against Iran has been an unfolding catastrophe. Day after day, we’ve seen U.S. soldiers coming home in coffins, an estimated 2,100 civilian deaths (and rising) across the region, a supposed “ceasefire” in April where the U.S. has continued striking southern Iran anyway, and an intractable blockade of the Strait of Hormuz that has spiked global energy prices, worsening the cost-of-living crisis for ordinary people everywhere. In the press, the emerging consensus is that Trump’s war is a failure on strategic terms. Less attention has been paid to the more basic fact: that the war is simply wrong, regardless of how successful or unsuccessful it might be.

“How did Obama let bush off the hook?”

What the fuck are you posting then?

Then why are you wasting time asking me about Obama’s action when you just said that!

Also AGAIN Obama didn’t do that as much as REPUBLICANS prevented any accountability.

Why do you think Trump has been impeached twice yet never suffered consequences? Hint those consequences require republicans to do the right thing and yet here we are… Impeachment is half political and half legal. When you get to legal consequence suddenly republicans lose a spine. Hence Trump being impeached but never convicted in the senate.

That’s nothing to do with Obama and you’re a fucking idiot to conflate the issues.

How much more obvious does your ignorance need to be…?
