same script as before new casting with Trump taking the gwbush role
January 2003, President George W Bush stood before the United States Congress to warn of a “grave danger” from a “dictator”, a former US client in the Middle East, armed with weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Twenty-three years later, in the same chamber, President Donald Trump used his State of the Union address to paint a strikingly similar narrative: A rogue regime, a looming nuclear threat, and a ticking clock
The Trump Administration gave Iran multiple opportunity to come to the bargaining table. The Iranian people are brave in their uprising. I wish them great success although the struggle for freedom will be long and difficult. That's what happens when you kill 32,000 + of your own citizens for protesting the government.
Strangely, all the liberals who advocate for the right to protest here in the U.S. will support the authoritarian Iran regime who murder, by the thousands, their own protesters.
Illegal for Trump to order military strike against Iran without justifications such as congress approval or risk of imminent attack. Iran is not Iraq or Venezuela. War would not be swift, cheap or decisive. No guarantee of regime change. Iran spend decades preparing to survive war and inflict damage to US allies in region. While US waste resources on foreign wars, China invests in infrastructure, technology and economic growth. Polls show most Americans oppose military action against Iran.

Why are we starting a war with Iran under the flabbly fake guise of nuclear weapons when there are out in the open countries who are doing more harm and have capabilities right now? Like say North Korea?
Why Iran? Because Israel told Trump what to do and he is following their commands. We have no reason to be involved in Iran and nothing good will come from this outside allowing Israel to destroy more lives of their enemies.
Also I seem to recall King big mouth blast Obama for the exact same scenario that Trump is in right now. In 2013 Trump insulted and degraded Obama calling him "not skilled" that he could not negotiate with Iran and yet gee when Trump does it everything is super cool and it is the correct decision.
Mad man in the white house has made the world more dangerous. Trump wants to return to 19th century international order with no US allies and more military spending. By waging unnecessary war against Iran, he has made it more likely other countries develop nuclear weapons to protect themselves from the US. This increases the risk of nuclear war in the future.

Well, I have to give the Trump administration credit for at least one thing:
Unlike the Bush administration and its invasion of Iraq, they didn’t spend months on a misinformation campaign to obtain congressional approval.
Instead, they just…bypassed Congress altogether! Unfortunately the Republicans who kiss his ass for approval will not be exposed in a no vote to save there seat in the midterms!
