When pressed about the intelligence about an imminent threat to Americans that prompted the fatal strike against Iranian commander Quasem Soleimani, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo offered up a vague response.
What was an “imminent threat” four days ago is now "continuing efforts on behalf of this terrorist to build out a network of campaign activities that were going to lead potentially to the death of many more Americans.” We had to stop him before he built out some more network of campaign activities.
It feels like Pompeo is so excited that he’s about to get his war that he can’t even keep his shit together enough to tell some halfway decent lies. That is a mess.
Sorry Pompeo we saw the movie. It was to distract from the impeachment
Nothing more , nothing less and you traitor went along with it
We’ll remember you along side Benedict Arnold
Trump before country
How low you have descended
I doubt we’ll see Pompeo ever admit something similar.
Colin Powell has called his 2003 speech to the United Nations, laying out the Bush administration’s rationale for war in Iraq, a “blot” on his record. The speech set out to detail Iraq’s weapons program, but as the intelligence would later confirm, that program was nonexistent.
More than 13 years later, the speech continues to haunt the administration — not just for what it got wrong, but for the unintended consequences it may have set in motion.
New simple foreign policy… condone murders by authoritarian states,recklessly murder operatives in governments we are provoking into war,fuck things up in a volatile crucial portion of the world…lie to our allies and citizens…whine.
