    Default Middle East analysts see Iran’s fingerprints on tanker attacks

    The view among some Middle East watchers aligns with the conclusion presented by the Trump administration, which on Thursday blamed Iran for the suspected strikes.

    “This assessment is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication,”

    Bolton, Pompeo and the other neocons are using the Bush playbook. We re not supposed to remember what they did in Iraq. The root was PNAC. I guess it did not die in shame after the Iraq disaster.
    Let's see, 2 tankers were attacked by somebody. Not American tankers. One was Japanese. Japanese sailors say there were not mines at all. The sailors claim they were shot by something fast moving. While it was happening Japan and Iran were having a diplomatic meeting.
    Exactly what is Pompeo and Bolton's play here? there is no American interest, except war.
    yet rightys are jumping on the war wagon again.

    Why? Do you like a missile up your ass, stupid foreigner?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    I sympathize with the Iranians, paleface- and I do not mindlessly disparage them like you and the likes of the moronic Billy bath-tub. If there are Iranian missiles flying then it's the likes of you that need to cover your dumb asses.

    Now that you've had your little trolling fit you can fuck off.

    Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, continues its acts of terrorism.

    Trouble is; No one believes anything that comes out of Trump's mouth.

    I thought our Intelligent Services were 'Deep State'? Now what? We're suppose to believe them NOW?
