It’s January 7, 2020, and as predicted by the meme masters within hours of Trump taking out an Iranian terrorist general, everyone and their brother are suddenly experts in middle east policy.
I’m not an expert on the middle east, but here’s what I do know:
The political Left in America didn’t utter bleepin’ peep when Trump’s predecessor dropped 2,800+ bombs on the middle east countries … without consulting Congress … and killing many innocent civilians along the way.
If you think this is just hyperbole, you can read this fact for yourself in the Washington Times. The article’s author, Jacqueline Klimas, continues to cover Capitol Hill for The Times to this day, and she opened her April 27, 2015 article by saying,
“U.S. forces have now surpassed 2,800 strikes against targets in Iraq and Syria under President Obama’s war against the Islamic State, all as part of a conflict Congress has yet to specifically authorize — and amid worries lawmakers won’t ever act.”
So no, I’m not an expert in middle east politics. But I am a student of history. And when Nancy Pelosi and company start barking that Trump carried out his strike without authorization and vowing to limit his war powers, it is the absolute height of hypocrisy.
I do have one question for my Leftist friends, though.
Why do so many on the Left showing support for this dead terrorist when we know for certain he was responsible for the deaths of more than 600 Americans?
