You didn’t think that the peace president would start a war and only have it last 4 weeks, did you?
Pentagon Prepares for Possibility That Iran War Will Last Through September – antiwar.com
The US military is preparing for the possibility that the US-Israeli war against Iran lasts until September of this year, according to a report from POLITICO, far beyond President Trump’s initial four-week timeline.
The report said that US Central Command is asking the Pentagon to send more intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days, but likely through September.
The news of the Pentagon preparing for a long war comes as US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has said that the US is sending more forces to the Middle East and will be escalating its bombing campaign.
Good times keep rolling along.
So far, more than 1,000 Iranian civilians have been killed by US-Israeli strikes, and at least six US soldiers have been killed by Iranian drone attacks. The Pentagon is working to get more missiles and air-defense munitions into the region, as its stockpiles have quickly dwindled after the first five days of war.
The POLITICO report also detailed how the State Department was scrambling to get stranded Americans out of the Middle East as the administration had no evacuation plan despite a months-long military buildup in the region and Trump’s constant threats to bomb Iran.
Hey! Dumpy can’t think of everything. 2 weeks, 4 weeks, a couple of years…it’s a lot to think about and he can’t be bothered giving a thought about stranded Americans. Gee whiz! Give the a-hole a break!
Around $11,000 a second, $41 million an hour, and $1 Billion a day – No, No, No! That’s not money being spent on Americans as you probably thought given Dumpy’s concern for the average American – that’s what it’s costing Americans to bring happy peace tidings from these government shittards to others in lands far away. It’s always good to keep in mind that we here in America have no problems, there’s no poverty, no homeless, infrastructure is sound and up-to-date, everything is very affordable, especially health care, and there is zero hunger here.
Again, none of these things should be a bit of concern to the Mob Boss. He’s got so many pressing problems to deal with, like. who should be the next leader of Iran, okay? Imagine, starting a war that you expected to last a day or two at the beginning, then maybe 4 weeks, now who knows how many months (years?) – of course your major concern is going to be who the next leader will be of the country you’re laying to waste, Gaza-style…right?
All great leaders think this way.
President Trump said in an interview with Axios on Thursday that he must have a say on who is chosen as Iran’s next leader following the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, contradicting other administration officials who say the US’s goal is not regime change.
Trump made clear to Axios reporter Brak Ravid that Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has reportedly emerged as a frontrunner to replace his father, wouldn’t be acceptable to the US.
“They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela,” the president said, referring to Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodriguez.
The US didn’t choose Rodriguez as Nicolas Maduro’s replacement, but she was the next in line as the vice president and has been willing to work with the US to stave off another attack. A much different dynamic is unfolding in Iran as the killing of Khamenei has not slowed Iran’s military response, and the country’s leadership shows no sign of backing down despite the massive US-Israeli bombing campaign, which has killed over 1,000 civilians.
Trump said that he wouldn’t accept any leader who continues Khamenei’s policies because it would result in the US launching another war within five years. “Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran,” he said. –Antiwar.com
