What better way to cultivate the interest, influence, and favor of the leader of the free world than just by stuffing several million dollars into his pocket?

I watched @SecPompeo essentially deliver the Kirkuk oil and gas to Russia along with lots of KRG territory. Anyone who believes Trump and Pompeo's Iran machinations is a sap. When Pompeo talks he's just moving his lips. It's Putin's voice. And Putin needs high oil prices.

.@SenateMajLdr is so obsessed with blocking votes on commonsense solutions passed by the House, he’s taken to calling himself “the Grim Reaper.” But Americans are tired of waiting – they want action on their priorities now.

Let me be perfectly clear: the Administration does not have the authorization to go to war without Congressional approval. Trump and Pompeo must come before Congress and make their case before any action is taken.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted that "suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning," while his U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo officially laid the blame on Iran.

The idea that a 2001 congressional authorization to go after Al Qaeda for the 9/11 attacks justifies a war against Iran in 2019 is bogus and chilling. Congress should make clear that it does not.
