Senator Paul to Sec. Mike Pompeo: “Only Congress can declare war.” – April 10, 2019
Rand is absolutely right that Iran is opposed to al Qaeda and ISIS.
Bin Ladenite terrorists target Iran. The ones who lived there were in fact being held there as hostages, not allies of the Mullahs. The hawks would have you confuse these sides so it appears less obvious that they prefer al Qaeda to the Shi’ites because Israel’s grand strategy dictates so. The traitors.
He also needs to confront Pompeo on the outright lie that Iran killed 600 Americans in Iraq War II.
No Americans were killed by Iranians in Iraq War II. More than 4,000 were killed fighting the Sunni-based insurgency there on behalf of Iran and their friends in the Supreme Islamic Council and Da’wa Party.
Another 500 to 600 Americans were killed by Iraqi Arab Shi’ite militias, specifically the Mahdi Army of Moqtada al Sadr, the Iraqi nationalist, who has, since 2003 and to this day, insisted that America and Iran get out of Iraq.
The most-Iran-backed of the Shi’ite militias in Iraq during Iraq War II were America’s allies in the Badr Corps of the Supreme Islamic Council, not Sadr’s men.
Even if you take all of the fake propaganda for granted, and pretend to believe that all EFP bombs used by Shi’ite fighters against Americans in the war were produced in Iran, not Iraq, that is still nothing but “support.” And in the scheme of the Iraqi arms trade during that time, it doesn’t amount to shit. It sure doesn’t amount to “Iranians killed 600 Americans.”
(Here are some things to read about that last point.)
This is a huge lie. It must be stomped down.
