During the 5 o’clock
hour on Saturday, President Trump tweeted a thread that reads, “Iran is talking
very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the
world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly
wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his
lifetime, including recently, hundreds of Iranian protesters. He was already
attacking our Embassy and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran
has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serve as a WARNING that
if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian
sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago),
some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture,
and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The
USA wants no more threats!”
Shortly thereafter,
three dipshit Democrats aghast that Trump would take decisive action against a
barbaric killer of American troops and innocents, chimed in to denounce the
President’s warning.
Pocahontas tweeted,
“You are threatening to commit war crimes. We are not at war with Iran. The
American people do not want a war with Iran. This is a democracy. You do not
get to start a war with Iran, and your threats put our troops and diplomats at
greater risk. Stop.”
The Bronx Bolshevik tweeted, “This
is a war crime. Threatening to target and kill innocent families, women and
children—which is what you’re doing by targeting cultural sites—does not make
you a ‘tough guy.’ It does not make you ‘strategic.’ It makes you a monster.”
Ilhan Omar (D-Somalia)
of “some people did something” fame tweeted,
“The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes on
Twitter. God help us all! #25thAmendment”
I do not profess to be
a scholar of the law or the Constitution, but I do know when elected officials of
my government are giving aid and comfort to the sworn enemies of my
country. So, what does the U.S.
Constitution tell us?
Article 3, Section 3,
Clause 1 declares, that adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving
them aid and comfort, shall be treason. Any act that deliberately strengthens
or tends to strengthen enemies of United States or that weakens or tends to
weaken the power of United States to resist and attack such enemies is
characterized as aid and comfort.
Aid and comfort may
consist of substantial assistance or the mere attempt to provide some support. Actual
help or the success of the enterprise is not relevant. [emphasis mine]
And, who can forget the
assassination of Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi in 2011?
Where was the outrage
back then? No one was clutching their
pearls because it was their messiah; their Lightbringer.
General David Petreaus
said in an interview
with Foreign Policy magazine, “It is impossible to overstate the importance of
this particular action [killing Quds commander Qassem Soleimani]. It is more significant than the killing of Osama
bin Laden or even the death Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.”

Following Iran’s boast
it had placed an $80 million bounty on Trump’s head and threatened to attack
the White House, the President tweeted:
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2020
After 40 years of a secret war that has been waged
in the shadows, one thing is clear: Iran
thrives on threats to harass and intimidate its enemies. It knows the regime will collapse if all-out war
comes its way. It murdered 1,500 protesters in November precisely
because they fear the rising anger of average people in Iran. Where was the spontaneous
outpouring of anger over Soleimani’s death? There were no million-man protests
in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, of people rushing to the streets. They
waited for the regime or their militia commanders to tell them how to protest.
This is evidence that Iran’s role in the Middle East may be weakening and that
even though it will respond, it must decide wisely how to do so.
President Trump has
made certain of that.
