War Children

61. Poor John Bolton!

There is definitely more involved here than an attempted Trump distraction. Why are we still there? Who is pushing this agenda?

I appreciate that the military doesn't want to be a target in Iraq. That's a good thing. I don't want them to be attacked either, but as long as they are unwelcomed visitors, one can assume they will be.

Since being formed in 1968, the neoconservative movement has had a harsh attitude regarding the Middle East. It has never been a soley republican agenda, despite the glaring influence they had in the Bush-Cheney era. From Daniel Patrick Moynihan to Joe Lieberman, there have been non-republican neoconservatives. One assumes they see an opportunity.

There are industries that benefit from limiting Iran's role on the international stage, though they most likely prefer sanctions and intimidation to war.

Thus, the synergism created by neoconservatives and Trumpites -- each with their own agenda -- is what creates the greatest ganger. Just my opinion.
