What War?

       Hmm. President Trump tells us that the Iran Nuke deal is terrible. But, but the three top generals, the guys who would be charged with the job of fighting a nuclear armed Iran, that is Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Chairman of the Joint chiefs of Staff Joe Dunford and now U. S.  Central Command chief General Joseph Votel, all agree its a good deal for the U. S.
       So, who should we believe? Our President, who has no experience in international diplomacy and no military experience and no nuclear science at all or should we believe three men who actually do have experience, at least in the military, those who would have to lead the fighting. Three men with many, many years of experience?
       Well, you believe who you want, but my money is on the generals. And here's why. Trump has a lifetime of experience in real estate and bankruptcy. The generals have a lifetime of experience in fighting in wars against enemies big and small. Nuclear armed (in proxy wars) or not. And they've had to be part of negotiating disarmaments.
       I don't like the idea of combat, anywhere, against anyone, especially the thought of nuclear war. Trump says he can renegotiate. Better men than either him or I have tried. Remember this is a deal to keep Iran from getting the bomb, period., Iran's other trouble-making isn't part of it. That's something for another arrangement. It may require war against them, but if it does, you can kiss goodbye to all the oil from the middle east. Win or lose the narrow Strait of Hormuz will get shut down by sunken ships.
       On a brighter note, Kellyanne Conway took expensive private jets too. And don't forget there's still a porn star to be appointed to a steamy position in the White House. Sorry, I just had to do that.
In a district Trump took by 20 points, its beginning to look like a Democrat won the seat.
