WHOA IF TRUE: Punchdrunk Pete Hegseth Insists Iran Started The War - UPDATED
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth finally addressed the press earlier today, claiming during his press conference that it was Iran who started a war with the United States, and Trump is going to finish it. Just the thing for Fox viewers to lap up, right?
Did anyone in America, including the Pentagon, know we were at war with Iran? Did Trump know we were already at war? If he did, he never mentioned it to anyone during his gazillion media appearances and his fascist-style cabinet meetings. Did Dear Leader forget to tell us that?
During his eleven-minute monologue of hyperbolic claptrap, Hegseth claimed it was Iran that started the war with the US.
If Trump didn't start the war, then I suppose he can claim he was all about the peace and continue to demand a Nobel Peace Prize.
HEGSETH: For 47 long years, the expansionist and Islamist regime in Tehran has waged a savage, one-sided war against America.
They didn't always declare it openly, except for their constant chants of death to America. They did it through the blood of our people.
Car bombs in Beirut, rocket attacks on our ships, murders at our embassies, roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan, funded and armed by Iranian Quds Force and IRGC killers.
My generation of veterans carry the names of brothers who never came home, brothers butchered by Iranian-backed roadside bombs and well-armed militias, thousands of our own.
We didn't start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.
