In 2003, GWB started a war with Iraq based on false pretenses.
GWB made the claim "I know stockpiles of WMD exist in Iraq."
No such "stockpiles of WMD" has ever been found in Iraq by anybody.

We are still in Iraq.  Presumably to find those "stockpiles of WMD"
that nobody could find.  When will we find them?  When hell freezes
over.  When will we leave Iraq?  Whenever we do, not if, but when,
one thing is for sure - Iraqis will still be in Iraq.

>Our military budget is bigger then some of the foreign nations total wealth.

And the USA remains impotent, as it does not have enough young
people who can fill the ranks, with less than 30% of the population
within the age group able to meet the standards of enlistment.

We do not have enough troops to do the job now, and then only
in the case of small, limited engagements.  Russia has the same
problem, which is why its illegal invasion of Crimea was about
the largest type of operation it could handle.

>The Iranian regime supports terror organizations all around the middle east.

Even if true, there is little to nothing we can do about it.
Sending in the marines is not an option.  Nor is nuking Tehran.
We already have troops in Iraq.  And in Afghanistan.  And in
Syria.  Just creating a beachhead in Iran would be a problem.

Colin Powell claimed all those things in front of the UN.
And then the world found out it was all lies.
Why should anybody believe what is being told to them now?

Yeah.  We've heard it all before.  But nobody is buying.

What other countries are calling for war on Iran?
Japan has called Trump's bluff.  European countries
are being nicer by just asking questions.

If no one wants war, then why is Bolton (and Pompeio) rattling Iran's
cage, with Trump's blessing?

>It would seem that the President made the right decision

Iran has a nuclear lever, which it will play.  Then the world
will have hell to pay.

>Do I have to say it.... Told ya so.. They can not be trusted.

Which is why Trump should have honored the six-nation deal with Iran,
thus keeping them from developing nuclear weapons.
