NBC News: Iran OK'd attacks on American military

[Quemado]

WASHINGTON — The U.S. decision to surge additional military forces into the Middle East was based in part on intelligence that the Iranian regime has told some of its proxy forces and surrogates that they can now go after American military personnel and assets in the region, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence.

The House is getting closer to the truth on Trump.

Time to wag the dog.

1. Bingo, bring back the boogeyman.

The House is getting closer to the truth on Trump.

Time to wag the dog.

2. The Dog is Wagging.

3. Shame on NBC News...this one, said this about that..just an FYI...

Fortunately...a bipartisan group of senators and representatives are taking steps to prevent an unauthorized war. Sens. Tom Udall (NM), Rand Paul (KY) and Richard Durbin (IL), and Reps. Anna Eshoo (CA-18) and Mike Thompson (CA-5), recently introduced the “Prevention of Unconstitutional War with Iran Act of 2019” (S. 1039/H.R. 2354).

The legislation would thus assert the constitutional authority of Congress to determine if and when the U.S. goes to war.

6. Can't attack what's not there. Pull the troops out.

Why are we still in Iraq? For exactly this reason. The US Military should be apalled to be used as bait. 16 years is enough. Imagine the total cost in arms and legs, depression and deaths. And that's just our soldiers and sailors and airmen and women.

11. Totally agree..I said yesterday, I wish I could just call the pentagon and tell them to stand down..

2 brothers Viet Nam, and my son, Ret. Navy Chief, 21 years...he said he would NOT put a uniform on for this pos.....he was in the gulf at the beginning of the shit show, shock and awe bs....more military need to step up and sound off...

At least some in congress recognize the need for legislation on the war front...

[Chin music]

13. I like that you said that.

Together we are better.

[Boomerproud]

20. God bless your son.

My brother is a Vietnam vet. He is not a 45er.

4. The timing of this is highly suspicious and the American people have no appetite for another

Middle East clusterfuck. Only those in the right wing bubble are concerned and they’re the ones who should send their children to fight fat Donnie’s fake war. I hope those generals in the military are prepared to stall the orange maggot and Bolton.

5. K&R, has Mueller confirmed he'll testify?!

[Quemado]

7. Last I heard - Mueller and the House committee were in negotiations,

but Trump will more than likely try to prevent Mueller's testimony on grounds of executive privilege. To try to block Mueller's testimony is considered almost universally as a folly.

[Chin music]

14. It's hard to imagine the thought process of Mr Mueller.

I pray things are happening we have no clue about. Puzzling that he allows this all to happen without seemingly trying harder. We just don't know, bc he says nothing. Why? I'm tired of ascribing hope and good thoughts to repubs bc they aren't actively blowing the country up. He swore an oath, probably several of them. At the core of every oath, is the promise to protect and defend our prosperity, health and well being, and the constitution. If you don't really mean it, why swear it? Just to get the job? Come on mr M. What's it going to take? "In negotiations?" What in the world is there to negotiate? A date and time? I made a dentist appt a few minutes ago. Took approx. 5 minutes. I cleared my schedule for it and am in on tuesday next. Short of heart surgery, there should be nothing standing in his way if he is as pissed as everyone SAYS. LET"S GO.
His report was good, but, Im shocked at a lot of his conclusions about prosecutions. I listened to the whole thing too. Hope everybody has. It's free on audible.

8. They just changed the last letter and plan to re-run the "game"

Iraq...Iran.. who'll notice the difference?

Will we be showered with roses after our newest "slam dunk"?

[BeyondGeography]

9. Sure they did

[sarabelle]

10. Two words:

Remember "Yellowcake"

[Chin music]

18. You ot the cake?

powells got the aluminum rods...I hear.

[malaise]

12. More bullshit

I've had enough

[CanonRay]

15. This stinks as bad as the run up to Iraq

Fake intelligence from unnamed and unknown sources.

[Sneederbunk]

16. I thought Dotard did not believe intelligence agencies.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Any proof of that? Will Powell be presenting evidence again?

[tenderfoot]

19. What a heaping pile and doesn't it figure that Trump network NBC buys it hook, line and sinker
