Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says Iran attacked those two tankers yesterday and has the film to prove it.
We believe Pompeo. But man this all sounds familiar, like the WMD fiasco and the Gulf of Tonkin all rolled into one. It seems obvious to us that the Trump sanctions are working and Iran is trying to goad us into some sort of military action to distract from the worsening economic situation.
Trump has offered to talk, and we'd much rather talk than fight.
If there is a war between America and Iran, let us confine it to the realm of fiction, say a 400 page novel called America Strikes. There'd be some interesting ops in the Persian Gulf, seizing the straits, taking Iranian islands, destroying oil platforms.
Beats having a real war.
