9/15/19: President Fire and Fury is
hoping some punk will make his day, like Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry,
only with Stealth bombers.

Someone has attacked Saudi Arabia’s oil refineries. That someone could be Iran. Or that someone could be Houthi rebels, fighting Saudi forces in Yemen. The Houthis are backed by Iran.
Dirty Don decides to address possible military action in a tweet:
Saudi Arabia oil supply
was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked
and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom
as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we
would proceed!
Did Dirty Don just say he was going to attack Iran once the Saudis laid out the terms for that attack?
The Saudis?
The guys who hacked up a journalist with bone saws and couldn’t tell us how that happened or why?
The purveyors of Wahhabism, the most militant brand of Islam in the world?
And weren’t the Saudis going to buy hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. war-fighting tools and technology?
Why can’t they do the fighting themselves – or at least pay
us handsomely to get our young men and women (but no Trumps) killed – as once suggested by a
brilliant tactician named Donald J. Trump:
Citizen Trump, in 2014 and 2015, was clear when faulting Mr. Obama’s strategy in the Middle East. He’d be willing to send troops into harm’s way, but NO FREEBIES. The Saudis could sit back and watch us do their fighting – as Trumps always sit back during wartime, themselves.
It would cost them, as Trump made clear in a number of tweets:
Have you been watching
how Saudi Arabia has been taunting our VERY dumb political leaders to
protect them from ISIS. Why aren’t they paying?
I just want to know how much
is Saudi Arabia and others who we are helping willing to pay for our
saving from total extinction. Pay up now!
Tell Saudi Arabia and
others that we want (demand!) free oil for the next ten years or we will not
protect their private Boeing 747s. Pay up!
If Saudi Arabia, which has
been making one billion dollars a day from oil, wants our help and protection,
they must pay dearly! NO FREEBIES.
Saudi Arabia should be
paying the United States many billions of dollars for our defense of them.
Without us, gone!
Oh, and Trump wants it to be clear. He’s no fool. He never
said he’d meet with the leader of Iran, “without conditions.”
Once again, he tries performing delicate diplomacy via a tweet: “The Fake News is saying that I am willing to meet with Iran, ‘No Conditions.’ That is an incorrect statement (as usual!).”
This is probably confusing to:
1. Iranians
2. Saudis
3. U.S.
allies
4. U.S.
military
5. Houthi
rebels
6. Secretary
of State Pompeo
7. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin
– and –
8. “Fake News” reporters.
That confusion would relate to the fact that Mnuchin told “Fake News” reporters last Tuesday, “Now the president has made clear, he is happy to take a meeting [with Iran] with no preconditions, but we are maintaining the maximum pressure campaign.”
Then Secretary Pompeo added to the dilemma by saying, “The president has made clear he is happy to take a meeting with no preconditions.”
In fact, this “Fake Blogger” was so confused by all the “Fake News,” apparently a result of relying on “Fake Eardrums,” that he decided to check some non-fake news sources, such as The Times of Israel.
Yeah, Mnuchin and Pompeo said that.
Indeed, as USA Today and many other news outlets report, Trump said that, too, and said it “repeatedly.”
