I always wonder when America acts against another country where the intelligence came from and why the administration believed it. We blew up a powdered milk factory and the workers inside it because Israel said it was a chemical weapons factory. The administration went after Saddam Hussein because Vice President Cheney leaned on CIA analysis people to make a report saying Iraq had chemical and biologic weapons and was trying to build nuclear ones. None of it was true and some of the American media showed it wasn’t true. The European intelligence agencies said Iraq didn’t have any such weapons. The only country agreeing with the analysis was Israel who had been upset since Desert Storm didn’t do regime change.

Remember the students being mistreated and held as hostage in Grenada? The students weren’t aware of problems until our troops landed, so where did Reagan get the information? Over 3,000 bronze stars were given to people in the Pentagon who never left the building. Why? Was it to keep them quiet? I never heard any intelligence agency saying that the students were in danger, only White House speakers. Was it a coincidence that the invasion occurred immediately after 250 troops were killed in Lebanon?

So where did Trump suddenly get information he acted on to kill a man who is like Iran’s Secretary of Defense on the eve of his impeachment trial? It benefits Putin who gains influence in Syria, Iraq, and Iran.

Everything Donald Trump has done in his life is to make him look good or to divert attention from something bad he has done. He has the greatest ego, is the biggest liar, and the most paranoid of any President we have ever had, so we are justified in wondering why now. Secretary of State Pompeo was on the Sunday Morning shows and would only say we have information but he wouldn’t say what it is. Sounds suspicious to me.
