U.S. could send more troops to Mideast: Pentagon chief

Why are there so many officials in acting capacities this far into the Donny's term?

acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan

A former(?) Boeing exec. who's using his 'acting' position as a platform to ramp up fear levels in America's intellectually vulnerable demographic, knowing a public that's afraid is one that won't object to further increases in military spending. Which keeps war industries like Boeing profitable. The circle remains unbroken - and even stronger under Trump and his neo-cons.

Bolton and Shanahan haven't been able to goad Iran into a War, so they are raising their ante.

Has anyone figured out what Trump is doing yet? He seems confused himself.

Of course we'll be sending more troops to the Middle east - we have a Republican administration - they fantasize about a Middle East War. And with Neocon extraordinaire John Bolton in charge and leading Donnie around like a poodle, they'll be more troops sent after that...

I wonder what happened to the candidate that said the last Iraq War was the "single worst mistake in our history"? Oh yea, he became President, and immediately started planning to repeat the single worst mistake in our history...

All this wagging the dog won't deflect from his domestic strife.

But when those body bags come home, maybe the cheerleaders for war might rethink their position.

Good ! America's second "Iraq" or the third "Vietnam" is coming! Again America is in big troubles, the higher risk they were talking is the deeper regret they will make someday!

Yet another American war, how many people are going to die to distract the American public? How many more millions of people will perish from the Americans attacks? Then afterward the entire region will become unstable.
