War With Iran Would Become ‘Trump’s War’
“Who wants a U.S. war with Iran? Primarily the same people who goaded us into wars in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen, and who oppose every effort of Trump’s to extricate us from those wars…” President Donald Trump cannot want war with Iran. Such a war, no matter how long, ...
