Kirk in retirement still banging war drums against Iran


Darn...we thought we were done with Mark Kirk's incessant war mongering against Iran with his Senate defeat by the sensible Tammy Duckworth last year. Now we learn Kirk has joined the board of United Against Nuclear Iran, a new group made up of disgruntled neocons who can't accept that the 5 + 1 power Iran nuclear deal which likely avoided war by certifying the end of Iran's nuclear program, is working. That takes Iran regime change off the neocons' Christmas list, frustrating their decades long campaign to take over their most hated country. Kirk, who reveled in senseless US wars that killed hundreds of thousands during his congressional career, hasn't shaken his bloodlust in retirement. United Against Iran seeks to sabotage the Iran nuclear deal by having Trump de-certify it at the 90 day benchmark for re-certification required by a neocon congressional law. Then they want Mr. T to impose new sanctions all they up to a gigantic worldwide boycott till Iran yells 'Uncle', as in Sam. In furtherance of this campaign our intrepid warmonger Kirk has leapt back into the Iran debate by calling for Naperville telecommunications firm Coriant to cease doing business with Iran which they're entitled to do under the deal. Kirk ignores all the responsible, peace seeking leaders in the UK, France, China, Russia, Germany and the EU who are outraged by neocons like Kirk blowing up the world's best hope for peace with Iran. Apparently, being a war mongering neocon is a little like being in the Mafia: once you get in...you can never leave.
