Marco Rubio Says It's 'Irrelevant' Whether U.S. Intel Showed Iran Building Nuclear Weapons

It appears that Little Marco is becoming more and more "irrelevant" by his being in TACO Don's regime. His political career is FINISHED so to speak after what he just said as a reason to bomb Iran. The same scenario ruined GW Bush's political career regarding Iraq and WMDs.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio refused to say on Sunday whether the United States actually had intelligence that Iran was building a weapon of mass destruction before bombing the Gulf country’s nuclear sites ― dismissing any such assessment as “irrelevant” to the Saturday night attack that will very likely lead to wider conflict.

Rubio was one of several Trump administration officials to oversee the attack titled “Operation Midnight Hammer,” in which the U.S. bombed three key nuclear sites in Iran as part of Israel’s war on the longtime foe. The Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said that the attack caused “extremely severe damage and destruction” to the sites before acknowledging that a complete assessment determining the extent of the damage will take more time.

The first American soldiers to die in this senseless war, their blood will be on TACO Don and his lust for power. There is no way he can blame Joe Biden for this, as hard as he will try to shift blame onto others in his regim

I foresee more protests in the streets all over this country, even in the deepest of RED states where the losses will be the greatest. If there is a reason to go to war, declare it through Congress! But they are unlikely not because they know just how much of a foothold Putin has in Iran and TACO Don sees Putin as a reluctant ally in the Middle East.

The closing of the Strait of Hormuz will cause an economic ripple effect all over the world, as well as here in the United States. Despite our energy independence so to speak, gas prices will jump to well over $5 a gallon nationally, higher in some more remote places like South Lake Tahoe and small towns in the mountain regions of the US. Not to mention food and other goods shipped by truck will increase in price, sending inflation upward. Not good, Donnie.
