The drone strike Trump and Pompeo should be fretting about

President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have been dominating the news regarding the drone strike that disabled some of Saudi Arabia's oil facilities . Both have concluded Iran did the deed though the Yemeni Houthi rebels, locked in a death spiral with the Saudis, claim responsibility. Trump even said the US was "Locked and loaded" to punish Iran while Pompeo raced to the Gulf States to strategize US, Saudi response. 

But you won't hear Trump or Pompeo utter one peep about Wednesday's US drone strike in Afghanistan's Nangarhar Province that slaughtered 30 farm workers and injured 40 who gathered to harvest pine nuts. Village elders, ever fearful the gathering would attract US scrutiny, sent letters two weeks ago asking the US to hold off bombing the group because they weren't ISIS. But attacked the harvest was, obliterating more than the pine nuts. 

The US response was the same as usual..."Opps". The military did say the village elders' letters warning the US to stand down against the harvesters will be considered in the investigation. 

Today is judgement day for Iran as the US readies its response to the unproven charge Iran attacked Saudi Arabia. When will we get judgement day to end the US killing machine in Afghanistan? 

Locked and loaded against Iran... and another US soldier killed in Afghanistan

Trump trudged out his favorite war scare tactic yesterday saying US is "locked and loaded" for possible military response against Iran for Saturday's drone bombing that devastated Saudi Arabia's oil industry. Wait, wait, it was the Yemenite Houthi rebels who claimed responsibility for the bombing while Iran denied involvement. The Houthis have been bombed to smithereens by Saudi Arabia for four years now (with US help) but the world's first and third most powerful militarys can't defeat them. In fact, it's the Saudis pushed back on their heels. Either way, it's not our fight, but Trump and many in US war party are just itching to take out Iran, latest target of US regime change policy.

Just 2 days after the Saudi bombing the 17th US soldier was killed in our 18 year long failed Afghan war. That's 3 more than last year with a hundred days to go.

Welcome to perpetual war America is conducting round the world.
