Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday it’s “irrelevant’’ whether the US had intelligence that Iran was actively pursuing a nuclear weapon before bombing it.

Rubio said the mere fact that Iran had “everything they need to build nuclear weapons” justified President Trump’s decision to take action against the theocratic regime.

This is beginning to smell like the WMD lie in Iraq. So, even if Iran was not pursuing a nuke, trump was justified in placing the US into another ME war?

He's right.

We cannot be in the business of reading the minds of foreign leaders, such as the latest Iranian Ayatollah. We certainly should not be pretending to read their minds and giving the reading the most optimistic slant possible, i.e. that Iran just happens to have all they need to build a nuclear weapon, but they certainly do not intend to build one.

Whether we should have participated militarily in stopping Iran from having the capability to make a nuclear weapon is a different question. You could make an argument that letting Israel carry the ball while we only provide the ball would be a better way to stop the nuclear program in Iran.

Or you could argue that no one should tell Iran they cannot have a nuke.

But it is pretty naive to say "unless they say so, there is no reason to believe that Iran wants a bomb."

Yes everything he said is correct

But Israel doesn’t have the bunker busters needed to obliterate the underground nuke facility.
 
I don’t trust Iran. Anyone who does is a fool. We were right to neuter them.
Israel was in the process of doing that when trump's rhetoric changed from "We had nothing to do with the attack" to "We have complete control of the skies."

trump is the ultimate band wagoner. "LOOK AT ME! I WON THE WAR!"
 
I guarantee you they started trusting the US again this morning.
and they'll start trusting us more if we can dunp these leftist bureaucrats and deepstaters globalist marxists left over from obama/biden.

You're confusing trust with fear. Right?
I"ll take either. Seein' as how the dems have knuckled under, bowed down and given our enemies billions and THAT is why we were IN THAT SITUATION.

Nope, not what he said.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Let me follow up on a phrase you just word – weaponization ambitions.


Are you saying there that the United States did not see intelligence that the supreme leader had ordered weaponization?

SECRETARY MARCO RUBIO: That's irrelevant.
