As the Trump administration prepares to deploy 1,000 additional troops to the Middle East in a move critics warned will heighten the possibility of all-out war with Iran, United Nations officials reportedly believe the U.S. is also planning a major “aerial bombardment” of an Iranian nuclear facility.

United Nations officials are “assessing the United States’ plans to carry out a tactical assault on Iran,” the Jerusalem Post reported Monday, citing anonymous diplomatic sources at the U.N. headquarters in New York.

“According to the officials, since Friday, the White House has been holding incessant discussions involving senior military commanders, Pentagon representatives, and advisers to President Donald Trump,” the Post reported. “The military action under consideration would be an aerial bombardment of an Iranian facility linked to its nuclear program.”

One “Western diplomat” told the Post that the bombing campaign would be “massive” but “limited to a specific target.”

I thought of this song:

1. ...

2. America would not get international support. It would be an act of terrorism. America would be a

rogue state.

3. Wag the Dog.

He needs some distraction from his bad poll-numbers.

4. Just what we need, a massive radioactive leak over this whole area...

5. The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is determined

to distract attention from his fail, and he is willing to send your kids off to fight and die for it.

But not one of his republican kids will spend as much as five minutes in service to America. They come a long line of skanky shirkers and grifters (R).

6. Massive Bombardment

Trump to his generals: "Just one nuke for starters."

7. Well, "he's just not worth it".

8. I like your irony.
