Bombing Iran

Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld saw regime change in Iraq as unfinished business from George Bush Sr.’s administration. They got Bush Jr. to go along with their plan to depose Saddam Hussein.

In 1980, while American embassy staff in Iran were being held as hostages, Trump was hanging around with his coke-snorting pal Roy Cohn. Donald sees Iran as unfinished business. That’s all there is to it, and nothing more.

Sky News isn’t quite right about 1980’s ‘Bomb Iran’. It was actually a parody of the Beach Boys cover of ‘Barbara Ann’.

Here’s the Doo-Wop original, by the Regents.

Regime Change in Iran

Israel wanted us to wage war with Iraq. Our president told us they had weapons of mass destruction and that regime change would result in a free society. So we waged war, which created chaos, and led to the formation of ISIS.

Israel wanted us to wage war with Iran. Our president told us Iran is building missiles that could soon hit the US and that regime change will result in a free society. So we are waging war. Now we wait for the outcome.

King Midas in Reverse

Trump, the greatest of all con men, wrecks everything he touches. He’s always been a hopeless disaster who talks big and leaves a big mess.

In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A

Trump wants to turn Greenland into his personal Greedland. He lied about Greenland’s people not receiving medical care, and claimed to be sending a hospital ship, the USNS Mercy. “It’s on the way!!!”

Greenland has free medical care, so the strange offer was rejected. At that same time, Denmark was called in to evacuate an American in need of medical attention from a submarine. The sailor was transported to a hospital in Greenland. Ouch.

Making Trump look even more ridiculous, the USNS Mercy isn’t on its way. It’s in dry dock. As someone who is close to me said about this turn of events, “I’m not fond of political theater games that end up backfiring.”

It would be one thing if Trump were merely incompetent. For all of George W. Bush’s limitations, his intentions were, I believe, mostly good. Dick Cheney’s were not.

Trump is an evil, destructive narcissist. I have no sympathy, at all, for anyone who now regrets having voted for him in 2024.
