“I believe the most important aspect of this confrontation is that the nature of the Iranian regime has not changed since 1979,” Hewitt said.
Then why did Ronald Reagan sell them weapons?

Japan and Germany don’t have oil. Also they aren’t Muslim.

He sold them weapons clandestinely and he was Republican. So it doesn’t count.

The Saudi monarchy rules in alliance with Wahabi Islam, one of the harshest and most repressive Sunni Islamic sects in the world. It’s no coincidence that 911 was conceived, financed and carried out by Saudis. Al Queda was born in Saudi Arabia. ISIS is Sunni; Saudi is a Sunni nation.
The Saudis would like nothing more than to wipe Shia off the face of the earth, and that means Iran
Trump is soooo played…

This interview, and the one with the BBC that Ben Shapiro walked out on, is exactly what happens with Conservatives who get fawning press in a vacuum of unquestioned hate and stupidity. They’re not prepared to have actual, viable arguments.

Hey Ali shut him down and that’s not something you see on CNN, PBS Newshour, or MTP. If you want pushback then you have to model it for others to follow suit.

I don’t know. I think Hugh Hewitt the idiot represents the GOP very well. I like it that way. Especially with someone like Velshi who will tell him, on air, to shut his pie-hole. JMHO

Nah, it’s about trying to claw back control of the news cycle from the subpoenas, the tariffs, the failing soybean farmers, the scheduling of testimony from Mueller and McGahn, the Dow’s dropping 600 points in one day, and so on and so on and so on. FWIW, it doesn’t seem to be working (at least not yet)…

OK, other than the little example of 9/11–and, OK, Khashoggi— and, all right, al-Qaeda—and yes Isis and the Taliban—name me a single case where Saudi Arabia has been involved in exporting terror?

I’m so glad MSNBC got rid of the Hugh Hewitt show, he’s as intellectually dishonest as Bill Kristol but even dumber, as well as lacking a sense of humor.

Senate and House just emerged from an Iran briefing: POTUS unilaterally blew up the Iran nuclear agreement with no plan for what happens next. Improvisational foreign policy brought to you by Donald J. Trump

I wonder if the Reformation was held today would we see the same sort of fight that’s happening between Sunnis and Shias?

They cant war against Russia, N Korea, The Saudis because of Trump, who the hell is left? And now Trump is sounding like perhaps they may have to forgo Iran too.
Good Lord do I have to support Trump?
Edit
Ukraine will not investigate Bidens son , so maybe that is the place for war.

Hewitt forgets that Ike sent the CIA to overthrow their democratically elected government that was nationalizing their oil industry that led to the current theocracy.

Moronic occupant knows dubya made his war president bones on attacking Iraq with advice from Turdblossom. He’s looking to do something similar. Something about being considered a war president and burnishing his pathetic resume. Plus Obama was willing to deal with Iran and maintain a peaceful footing. Can’t have that.

Well they apparently had to turn to terror because funding Wahhabi madrassas just wasn’t moving the needle quick enough.
