Sounds like Congress needs to ask her why she lied to them in the first place. Alas, they will not, because she is already playing the "Fake News" card.

I think a lot of people are going to be surprised...
Personally, I don't know why, because it's obvious Russia needs Iran for Ukraine.
But Putin isn't going to let trump attack Iran.
And it's already causing the people Putin makes support trump, start going against him.
I don't want to link an actual tucker Carlson video, so here's some people talking about his interview with Rafael Cruz:
https://youtu.be/yQEd-ECAwDU?t=1140
It tucker is breaking from trump over this, a lot more rightwing media is going to as well
Why she lied? because she opened her mouth
How I Edged Myself For 20 Years: A U.S. Lawmakers Heroic Effort To Convince Themselves Everyday That Iran Is Two Weeks Away From A Nuke
"This memoir is beautiful, it shows a secular side to fanatical devotion you don't often see."
Coincidentally that's the same timeline trump has for any major policy implementation
2 weeks fits the Fortnight Fuhrer’s agenda most perfectly
Fusion energy is always 10 years away
Iran is always 2 weeks away from nukes
30 years from now the first humans might live on Mars. If not, read this again.
Her evidence was a photo of an alleged nuclear facility with an arrow and "nukular missiles" written on with black sharpie. She also noted the MS-13 lettering stamped on top of one of the buildings.
It was a real photo, Iran likes to write "Nukular missiles" in giant black letters next to their hospitals.
I did not know that. Thanks for educating me. I withdraw my objection to the evidence, although their connection to MS-13 was already damning for Iran.
It's remarkable how fast she changed her story to the one Trump wanted to hear.
I wonder if the American population will buy the same lies sold to them 20 years ago.
I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.
5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan
One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.
I am surrounded by morons.
I was talking to a guy and he said "who was that politician that used to wear a bunch of makeup?".
"I'm not sure" I said
"The one with the eyeliner"
"Oh you mean J.d Vance? The vice president?"
"He's the vice president?"
Physically had to stop myself from facepalming.
Right after he started talking about Greta Thunberg. He said "people that don't know anything about politics shouldn't get involved".
I wish I could make this stuff up.
We elected Biden on mostly anti-Trump sentiment then forgot and elected Trump again 4 years later. I think 20 years is more than enough time.
I don't think the majority of Americans bought the DMW bullshit back then either, but the war happened anyways because those in power wanted/let it happen. The people didn't have a say in it.
put them in a spreadsheet
if we assume linear relationships, then Iran will have nukes by 2018.
however it looks more like a log relationship, so Iran will always inch closer to nukes, but will never get them. I'm a century they'll be seconds away, but never get them.
Bibi invented Zeno's paradox
In a fascist society the states enemy is your enemy
They are both strong and weak depending on the fascists agenda
this was has been so jarring.
I constantly get stuff like "Israel controls Iranian skys, it's over for iran" and also "Israel about to run out of interceptors, cant stop the bombing, its really bad"
Everything old is new again. This is the same shit Dubya's administration claimed in 2003 when they wanted to attack Iran.
She is a shell of a human being whose only driving force is ambition and a complete lack of shame.
my theory is they they aren't "people".
they are mouthpieces of an institution. replaceable, and chosen for their bootlicking. if it wasn't her, they would have chosen another puppet. same thing with CEOs, corporate goons, and most politicians.
if they were honest and had actual beliefs they'll have extraordinary resistance, if they even get a chance to speak.
We killed all their scientists who could make them and blew up all their labs...
plus about 400 people.
maybe the west should stop giving Iran more reasons to get nukes.
WMDs!! Trust me bro.
just one more intervention Bro, I swear, just one more regime change ans we will have peace in the middle east.
Desperate for her job I see.
Just like with Putin's stooges, the grovelling and the self humiliation is the point.
I've always wondered why there's "intelligence" in National Intelligence. But the bottom is really dropping out with the cretinous Trump cabinet picks.
'Could' vs 'are'.
They may not have been, but they could if they wanted to, supposedly.
Now, if they didnt before, they certainly have the motivation and arguably the justification.
I certainly wouldn't blame them for seeking out nuclear weapons now.
There it is.
And nobody's called out the cultist toady on pivoting to whatever Trump wants to hear. Fuck the US media.
Is Tulsi ever right about anything?
i remember her trying to pander to the Bernie crowd after he "lost" the primaries in 2016. it was the first time I heard of her and some articles were treating it as if she was going to take Bernie's torch.
She was right when she was talking about Bernie's healthcare and socialism liteish, but it was more of a broken clock
so, she's a complete grifter, trying to get ahead without any principles.
Pretty sure they have been saying that for years.
