The United States is already engaged in combat operations (within the last year) in at least seven countries; Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. And the latest rhetoric coming from the Trump administration seems to want to add Iran to the list. Earlier this week, President Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Flynn said Wednesday he was “officially putting Iran on notice”. On Thursday, when asked to clarify Flynn’s comments, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer pointed the finger of blame toward Iran. Spicer said, “I think General Flynn was really clear yesterday that Iran has violated the Joint Resolution, that Iran’s additional hostile actions that it took against our Navy vessel are ones that we are very clear are not going to sit by and take.” He then reiterated Flynn’s warning by adding, “I think that we will have further updates for you on those additional actions. But clearly wanted Iran to make sure they understood that they are on notice. This is not going unresponded to,” Spicer emphatically stated. The only problem with Spicer’s comments is that they’re reportedly patently false! Iran did not attack a U.S. Naval vessel. On the contrary, it was a Houthi rebel group (only aligned with Iran) which attacked a Saudi naval vessel, not an American one. The war rhetoric is reminiscent for some of the time when the U.S. proclaimed the Vietnamese had attacked a U.S. vessel in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. The fake news story issued by the U.S. government led to a nearly 10-year war in Vietnam against the North Vietnamese. Not content with allowing Spicer to get away with proclaiming a lie, CBS News’ Major Garrett corrected Spicer by telling him it was a Saudi vessel, a clarification which Spicer acknowledged without any self-correction on his part. Spicer simply said, “Sorry, thank you, yes a Saudi vessel. Yes, that’s right.” Spicer’s gaffe happened on the same day Trump’s adviser Kellyanne Conway put forth the notion the media was somehow biased towards the Trump administration. “I bet there was very little coverage that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after it was discovered two Iraqi’s came here, were radicalized, and were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre,” she told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. The only problem with her claims is that just like Spicer’s fake story, they did not happen. Not only did the Obama administration not put the refugee program on hold, but no massacre took place in Bowling Green. However, what did take place was an FBI entrapment scheme to get a few former Iraqi insurgents to involve themselves in a weapons-running operation to Iraq. Conway backtracked on her comments through Twitter, having later tweeted she meant to refer to them as the “Bowling Green terrorists.” But even that admission of misspeaking is inaccurate as well. In fact, no one was hurt in the FBI’s sting operation. Fox News’ Judge Napolitano recently opined on the FBI’s so-called “thwarted terror plots.” According to the judge, the FBI has engaged in 17 plots to identify loners, whom the FBI identified as potential terrorists. Napolitano said the FBI, “befriended them, cajoled them, and persuaded them” to engage in a terror plot to commit illegal activity. Napolitano declared, “none of this keeps us safe. All of this makes us less free as any one of us can be entrapped, and we are fools if we praise the government for exposing a plot of its own creation and saving us from a danger that never existed.” Judge Napolitano then asked, “Are we really safe in a false sense of security?” “When no one is harmed and the government controls the plot aren’t we just punishing someone for his thoughts. And in a free society aren’t free people to think as they wish? This must be so. Because if the government can punish us for our thoughts, there is no limit to its power,” he said emphatically. Officials from Bowling Green, Kentucky also responded by saying in a statement, “while in 2011, two Iraqi nationals living in Bowling Green were arrested for attempting to provide money and weapons to terrorists in Iraq, there was no massacre in Bowling Green.” And Mayor Bruce Wilkerson said he also appreciated the clarification given by Conway. Taken as a whole, the two stories serve as an example of “fake news” put out by members of the Trump administration. Whether the motives for doing so are war with Iran, or simply a reaction to defending the Trump administration’s travel ban on seven largely Muslim countries, is anyone’s guess at this point. Free thinkers everywhere can only hope the U.S. and it’s war machine, military industrial complex aren’t planning for yet another devastating war with Iran. It has long been the position of The Free Thought Project that the reason why there exists a “radical Islamic terrorist” problem is because the U.S. continues to bomb people in the Middle East and elsewhere, a move which creates more terrorists.

Who said they did? Sean Spicer said Iran took "hostile actions" against our Navy vessels. As reported on January 9, 1016 by CNN: "Five Iranian vessels approached the USS Mahan and two other US ships that were entering the strait, according to accounts from four sources. The Strait of Hormuz is situated between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf." "The Mahan, a destroyer, fired warning shots and used radio calls, flares, bells and whistles to signal to the ships to stay away."
Why didn't Chris Matthews immediately question her about that statement? He's a smart guy. Supposedly. Why not say something right away? Perhaps because he knew she was referring to Bowling Green "terrorists" and not a Bowling Green "massacre"? Which she quickly corrected via Twitter.
In other developments Hondo the supporter of a faggot for President, declares that muslims are his friends and welcome in America.
LOL !

We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.

You want to attack them over there, so that they come to the Sean Hannity show? Fox News, guest terrorists That country that most of the 911 terrorists came from, Saudi Arabia, it's not on Trump's extreme vetting list. It's just political grandstanding, fake security, real warmongering. Agree !! That is a big mistake! Unfortunately CFR weilds too much influence !

It's more than the CFR. Our corrupt politicians have allowed foreigners to buy into our corporations and our country to the point where at one time several years ago the King of Saudi Arabia was the largest stockholder in Citi-Bank (so much for not charging interest,huh?),and was also a major shareholder in one of our auto manufacturers,I think it was Ford. Who knows what else he and other members of his family that has over 100 princes own? One prince was showing off his car collection a year or so ago,and one was a brand new top of the line supercharged Mercedes coupe that had a body custom made entirely from stainless steel. It was just one of over 100 modern cars in his collection,and he is just a minor prince. The criminals and traitors we call "politicians" have allowed us to be in a position where if we were to really get serious about punishing Saudi Arabia for financing terrorism they could pull all their money out of our country and destroy our economy almost overnight by dumping their stock all at once. Given our national debt and our obligations to the professional welfare class,revolution would follow when our government stopped paying it's bills. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Yes my friend, you are correct. I use the CFR label as an abbreviated description of all the evil, which is a rather long list. But in simplistic terms, the CFR membership is a rather compact, concise, complete roster of those that are destroying the nation, the world! If God were to send a avenging angel / Nemesis to earth, and I could direct him, I would give him a CFR membership list. Truly a very evil bunch!

Because there's no need. Saudi Arabia can provide documentation on it's citizens.
"Iran did not attack a U.S. Naval vessel."
