Jennifer Rubin writes.......“The need to mend the president’s ego is not an imminent threat. It’s not a legally or politically justifiable reason for plunging ahead with a highly provocative military action absent full consultation with Congress and a full exploration of the potential consequences." {...}

"Pompeo misled the Congress and American people in suggesting there was not convincing evidence of Mohammed bin Salman’s involvement in the slaughter of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Pompeo repeatedly misrepresented to Congress that progress was being made in talks with North Korea."

"Moreover, given Pompeo’s own fiery rhetoric that essentially demands regime change in Iran (if not using that term), it is logical to assume this was not a defensive action nor one intended to de-escalate violence. Pompeo needs to come before Congress and testify under oath.”

Damn straight he does.

Pompeo flatly refused to answer the two most pressing questions put to him by the moderators this morning.....

(1) Did the killing of Soleimani eliminate the "imminent threat" that the Trumpians are using to justify the strike?
(2) If the attack really made the region safer, why are Americans being evacuated from Iraq and why are they being told to be on high alert all over the world?

It's pointless to put him on the air to defend Trump's use of the military in an action that may have already sowed the bloody seeds of another endless war in the middle east, just to deflect attention from his impeachment and the collapsing coverup. Pompeo is a textbook pathological liar, just like Trump. The whole world knows the truth.

And to top it all off....... Soleimani's goal was to oust U.S. troops from Iraq. Trump's attack against him may end up posthumously accomplishing his goal.

There's never a shortage of irony or pure unadulterated idiocy in TrumpyWorld.
