Return of the Chicken Hawks-Advocates of Torture
It comes as no surprise that the bellowing, ugly, unhinged voices promoting a war follow DT like the flies on a pile of you know what. Republicans see this as a way to maintain control of the White House and Congress. They are beating the drums both as a distraction and reason to bury Muellers findings by offering a no longer shiny old objective, war with Iran and the next war Republicans want. This is intended to use a war to prop up the squatter in the WH and influence the 2020 election.

John Bolton: Another hawk who managed to avoid military service altogether
Mar 27, 2018
To the editor: President Trump just fired Gen. H.R. McMaster and will have hawkish John Bolton replace him as national security advisor. Its bad enough that our president, our new secretary of the State, Mike Pompeo, and the new director of the CIA, Gina Haspel, have all advocated torture. Even worse is the threat of war symbolized by Bolton, who has advocated bombing Iran, North Korea and even Cuba. Its been said sarcastically that Bolton has not met a country he didnt want to bomb. (John Bolton's appointment further weakens the 'axis of adults' around Trump, March 23.) Roger Carasso, Santa Fe, N.M.
To the editor: Has anyone noticed that those national policy makers that have had the heavy burden of ordering our military men and women into harms way, such as Gens. James N. Mattis and McMaster, are less inclined to threaten military action against our adversaries that those who managed to avoid military service altogether, such as Trump and Bolton?
