Another day in Paradise

 


I was told there would be no war.

I was misinformed.

I never heard that song before - those guys weren't very good musicians.

But I have heard this story before. I am currently reading "Dispatches" by Michael Herr about the war in Vietnam - where it came from and what it became.

Maybe Trump will be able to effect a regime change with only air power, doubtful, but I really don't like where this is heading.

Keep in mind, nobody had Iranian diplomat stupid enough to brag about nucular capabilities at peace talks in the pool.

Who you gonna listen to? Who you gonna believe?

Maybe the President is lying through his teeth. Delivering an April Fool's Joke to the nation while a song from the 70's pounds in the background, or runs through the heads of some of his fellow Americans.

I'm remain open to take what he said tonight, and continue to hold it with a wait and see approach.

Below is a link to his speech, for those who want to compare it to what they've been told, and decide for themselves whether he believes in what he says or not.

Jillian Michaels does a good job of describing what we're up against with Hormuz. It sounds like Iran is well prepared for this.

I’m believe my lying eyes. I think we will see boots on the ground in the next two weeks.

I like President Trump and vociferously supported him. But he is not God. He can be mistaken. I think the neocons and the war pigs have co-opted him.

This is Ozzy Osborne and Black Sabbath’s best song.

While recognizing Trump's humanity, along with some of the behavioral tics and foibles that affect his outlook and delivery, I believe him to have, at this point in his life, an inner sense of resolve, along with courage and strength of character that's been fortified in recent years. And I'm hoping that will be enough to keep him on track and out of the clutches of the neocons and war pigs, who dance around him. He's got a lot of plates in the air to juggle.

Ok that makes three comments posted with thanks to Dad Bones for the J Michaels link, and all three have shown up and disappeared!?!?!?
