Tucker Carlson Slams Trump’s Strike on Top Iranian General: ‘Lumbering Toward’ War with Iran
Mediaite ^ | Jan 3, 2020 | Connor Mannion

Fox News host Tucker Carlson harshly criticized President Donald Trump for escalating tensions with Iran with the killing of a top military leader, saying the U.S. is “lumbering” into war.

Carlson commented on the news of Qasem Soleimani’s death as it was still breaking during Tucker Carlson Tonight Thursday evening. Carlson said the killing was undertaken unilaterally without debate and had been long desired by people seeking war with Iran like John Bolton.

“There’s been virtually no debate or even discussion about this, but America appears to be lumbering towards a new Middle East war. We have to say, it’s one that officials in Washington wanted for decades,” Carlson said. “Disgraced National Security Adviser John Bolton has made it his life’s mission to start a war with Iran and Bolton might be getting his wish.”

Tucker has been automatically assuming for a while now that any action taken against Iran would inevitably lead to a war like the one we misguidedly waged in Iraq — a very expensive longterm occupation and social engineering effort. How wrong he is.

President Trump is a lot wiser than that. Plus he’s made his position on the U.S. getting involved in that type of war quite clear — not going to to happen while he’s the CIC.

Tucker also appears to have no problem at all with Iran getting a nuclear arsenal. The difference between his position and that of those on the Left is ....minimal.

While I like Tucker, he is not always correct in his assumptions.

It is amazing how all these people who are not in the loop know so much about that which is in the loop.

Let’s see. First it’s Bolton. Now it’s this act he has a problem with. Sounds like he’s going Michael Savage to me. Rand Paul is the latest in having it both ways.

Trump is Commander in Chief, Chuckie and the Vile Botoxian are not.

Agree. Tucker is right about most things but he’s wrong about this.

Of course, I’ll continue watching his show.

Fox News’s chief promises were to be fair and balanced and have real news. They haven’t done any of those things.

Maybe Tucker doesn’t realize we’ve been at war with Iran since 1979.

He has been getting a little much lately. I watch Fox Business in that time slot.
