The Last Ditch NeverTrump Ploy: A Stupid War With Iran

.......

....... Time to Wag the Dog

But how to derail a successful presidency?

Get the president to mire the U.S. in a stupid, protracted war. A war that doesn’t just have a simple aim, like kicking Iraq out of Kuwait.

No, those are too easy to end.

You need to land Trump in an open-ended conflict where the goalposts keep moving forward.

A war for “democracy,” to “spread freedom” to some part of the world that never had it, doesn’t want it, and will fight like hell to reject it.

A place like … the Middle East.

And here comes the easy part. You’ve got plenty of experience here. You and your pals wrote the playbook for entering the Iraq War. That conflict swallowed George W. Bush’s presidency whole. Can anyone remember a single other thing he did?

Trump probably clinched the nomination when he dared at a GOP debate to say what so Americans are thinking: We were lied into that war.

So it’s time to lure Trump into this one.

No, Iran is not a genuine threat to American safety, any more than Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11, or developing nuclear weapons. Shi’ite Iran is surrounded by Sunni rivals who hate it more than they hate Israel. (And that’s saying something.)

Israel has nukes sufficient to flatten the place, and (understandably) few qualms about using them.

Read conservative Christian expert on Islam Timothy Furnish here at The Stream on how unlikely Iran’s leaders are to commit collective suicide.

But most Americans don’t know jack about any of that.

They do know that Islam is hostile to their freedoms, and that Iran took American hostages more than forty years ago.
So they’re primed to take offense at the stupid things tried by the mullahs in Tehran. They’re ready, you hope, to swallow every violent act by Shi’ites anywhere in the world aimed at anyone, as a “clear and present danger to America.” It might even help them vent their anger about all the caravans marching into the U.S. through Mexico....”

My thoughts exactly. Neocon GOPE (Bolton/Bush/DeepState) shoving Iran war down our throats.
