Michael Smith guest blogging on Trump and Iran

"The three top candidates for the Democrat nomination - Biden, Sanders and Warren - all three came out yesterday [Jan. 7, 2020] with statements that Trump is lying America into another war while never acknowledging that Iran has been a provocateur for years (and the US has held back) or that Iranian leadership is nothing but liars and propagandists.

This from the leaders of a political party that unconditionally supported a president who was comically awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for purely political reasons even though:

  • America was at war for every single day of the Obama/Biden administration's two terms.
  • Twice as many soldiers died in Afghanistan in the first three and a half years of the Obama/Biden first term than in all eight of Bush's two terms.
  • The Obama/Biden administration's use of drones eclipsed Bush's by a huge amount, earning him the nickname of "Drone King".
  • The Obama/Biden administration bombed 7 countries (Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria), three more than Bush.
  • Obama, Biden and Hillary destabilized Libya and in the process, sat by as 4 Americans were murdered in Benghazi - then lied about what they did, what they didn't do and where they were as it was happening.
  • Obama set a "red line" in Syria over the use of chemical weapons and when it was crossed, did nothing.
  • Obama ordered the targeted assassination of an American citizen in Yemen via drone strike.
  • John Kerry, former Secretary of State for Obama, has admittedly been in Iran working with the Iranian regime against President Trump's policies.

Look, war is dirty business - and fighting an asymmetric terrorist threat is even more so - but these Democrats have no standing to criticize anything Trump does after standing by during the Obama years, or in Biden's case - having been neck deep in the decision making process of Obama's actions.

OrangeManBad delusions do not change history.
