Warships to Iran? Trump Thinks War Is the Way to Get Re-Elected
 On November 29, 2011, Trump tweeted, "In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran." He tweeted again a year later, October 9, 2012, "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate." A year after that, Sept. 16, 2013, he tweeted, "I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!" And two weeks later, 11/10/2013, he tweeted, "Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!" Today, Trump is in serious political and legal trouble, and he just sent an aircraft carrier and multiple warships to the coast of Iran. It doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. -Thom |

Monday's Daily Stack 
Hour One: Warships to Iran? Trump Thinks War Is the Way to Get Re-Elected
Quote: " The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the US Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakeable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force." - John Bolton. Quote: " It is absolutely the case that we have seen escalatory actions from the Iranians and it is equally the case that we will hold the Iranians accountable for attacks on American interests." - Mike Pompeo. Article: " Iraqgate" by Encyclopaedia Britannica. Article: " As a matter of fact, in interviews in 1999 with respected journalist, and long time Bush family friend, David Herskowitz, then Governor George Bush stated: 'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency." - My Testimony for the Downing Street Memo Hearings" by Cindy Sheehan, June 16 2005.
When Do We Ask - Will Humans Survive Climate Change? When Do We Acknowledge We Are Passed Many Tipping Points? UN Report - One Million Plant and Animal Species On Brink of Extinction "Nature is collapsing around us and it's a real wake-up call to humanity."
Quote: " It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it's just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery being at the essence of getting the nominations for president or elected president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and Congress members. So now we've just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election's over'." - President Jimmy Carter on unlimited money in politics on the Thom Hartmann Program, 28 July 2015.
Hour Two: Can a Conventional Democrat Beat a Populist Republican?
Article: " John R. Bolton" by Wikipedia. "According to Bustani, John Bolton demanded that he step down in 24 hours, adding, 'We know where your children are'".
