But Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told Americans today that "We didn't start the war." Really? Who did then?
The fact of the matter is a five-time draft dodger and convicted felon started the war. Trump has set the Middle East on fire to distract from the Epstein files which follow him around like Honey Badgers.
The Pentagon press corps (now all far-right influencers) who agreed to Hegseth's restrictions asked pre-determined questions and Hegseth used a list on who to call on.
The few legitimate reporters were ignored with one exception; an NBC reporter interrupted between questions and asked if the war was going to be over in four weeks like Trump said?
Hegseth rudely called the reporter out and called NBC fake news.
Boozehound Hegseth who gets off on talking tough, claimed Iran started the war and now the U.S. is going to finish it. "We are going to hurt you with no apology and without hesitation and we will kill you," he said during a press conference today.
If anyone was listening to Trump during his re-election campaign, they clearly believed Trump would end all foreign wars and be a Peace President. Yet here we are with his lapdog Hegseth claiming this war is different than the others because the operation had a "clear devastating, decisive mission."
It sure did. Distract the public from the ever-encroaching Epstein files.
Let's take a quick look at Hegseth. Trump nominated him to be the Secretary of Defense despite the fact that he secretly paid a financial settlement to a woman who had accused him of raping her in 2017.
The man heading the world's largest and most lethal military force on the planet was a host for FOX News prior to his current position.
A trail of documents, corroborated by the accounts of former colleagues, indicates that Hegseth was forced to stand down by both of the two non-profit groups that he ran - Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America - in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.
To make things even worse Hegseth is an alcoholic and admitted to it during his confirmation, adding that he's cured now.
Senator Richard Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, described the report of Hegseth's drinking as alarming and disqualifying. Everyone knew the fix was in when Hegseth got the job.
Oh! By the way... once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. Staying clean is a lifelong battle for those addicted to booze.
So that leaves us with an alcoholic in charge of destroying Iran. Hegseth, a known womanizer, likes to project power by calling his position, Secretary of War. He manages to tie the word war into every other sentence regardless of the topic.
As it Stands, an inexperienced secretary of defense sends a signal of weakness to our enemies and makes us feel less safe at home and abroad.
