Time's a- wastin'! Need to get that war with Iran started while the compromised, easily manipulated dolt is still in the White House!
Saudi Arabia has called for urgent meetings of the regional Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab League to discuss escalating tensions in the region, the kingdom’s official news agency said on Saturday.
The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said King Salman had invited Gulf leaders and Arab states to two emergency summits in Mecca on May 30 to discuss recent “aggressions and their consequences” in the region.John Bolton and Mike Pompeo just felt thrills up their chickenhawk spines.
A pretext for the Saudis is the recent attack on four ships in the Persian Gulf, two of them Saudi tankers, none of which were significantly damaged. Some experts took note of how this looked =cough= suspicious, especially in light of our allies saying they saw "no increased threat" from Iran or its proxies:
TANKER ATTACKS: This imagery fm UAE news shows a small IED was placed underwater on stern of this anchored vessel & way above rudder/Screws & far fm oil & Fuel tanks. Not enough bang to do real damage to steerage, just the hull. It’s all wrong. Just big enough for TV. pic.twitter.com/7eLYPJiGBn— Malcolm Nance (@MalcolmNance) May 13, 2019
Note the source in the embedded news story below for another actor keen to get the United States into another quagmire in the Middle East:
Reports of “sabotage” of oil tankers off Fujairah UAE by waterline IED is confusing. Iran hasn’t used this type of attack since 1988 & we savaged their Navy. Why now & why use crude throwback tactics? It suddenly proves Trump’s narrative? It makes no sense at all. Need more intel https://t.co/tHva1T6fXZ— Malcolm Nance (@MalcolmNance) May 13, 2019
Our simpleton "president" may think he's in control, but he's in way over his head versus the bonesaw crowd and the chickenhawks in his cabinet.
