Plenty of Iran War Failures to Go Around!

The following is the text record of 3 recent messages I have sent to Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz,  and Representative Pete Sessions.  They are my federal representation,  as of this date.  The record of those messages pretty much tells the tale here.

President Trump has embroiled us in an Iran war that has no “off ramp”,  and is beginning to crash the global economy (including ours),  simultaneous with the threat of rampant inflation!  That inflation is just barely getting started,  with high oil and fuel prices!  The price of everything else depends upon the fuel prices required to produce and transport it!  It is inevitable!  We have seen this before:  a recession with every oil price shock!  And inflation!

The House and Senate have done absolutely nothing to stop this war,  or to authorize its continuation!  They have therefore failed in their Constitutional duties,  for only the benefit of political party advantage!  My representation does not work for Donald Trump,  or the Republican party,  they are supposed to work for us!  But I see absolutely no evidence that they think they really work for us!

You have always had term limits within your grasp,  for as long as our elections have not been reduced to shams (and that appears to be coming quickly,  too,  with all the gerrymandering nonsense).  Vote for somebody else!  ANYBODY ELSE!  You could not do worse than what you have now!

Trump’s Iran war                                                                      395 words

Trump lied about everything since the start of his Iran war,  including why,  and why now.  He lied about how thoroughly we destroyed their military capabilities,  painfully evident since,  while reduced,  they can still strike targets in the region,  and ships in the Strait of Hormuz. 

And Trump has been lying about the progress of the peace negotiations!  Evidently,  he did not even know who he was really dealing with!  Or why things he thinks he obtained from these talks get taken away,  repeatedly. 

Those officials at the table in Islamabad are not the de facto rulers of Iran now,  the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is!  They are a huge,  well-armed terrorist army of violent extremists,  recruited specifically because they are violent extremists!  They would die to the last man before stopping hostilities,  using the other proxy terrorist armies,  giving up their uranium for their terrorist bomb,  or relinquishing control over the Strait!

Trump does not understand people like that,  not at all.  And he (and Netanyahu) made the IRGC the de-facto rulers of Iran by killing off most of the clerics and many of the regular government officials in the first few days of this war!  And,  Trump has essentially united the people of Iran against us,  instead of helping them overthrow their regime,  which is what about half or more of them wanted.  We did it before,  to install the Shah,  and we should have been able to do that again.  But no!  Trump would never think that way! 

It appears to me that Trump started this war because he could not get the then-ruling clerics to deal with him.  Just like with Maduro in Venezuela.  And soon Cuba,  if and when Trump gets clear of his Iran debacle.  To get clear,  he must commit war crimes by deliberately bombing civilians and their infrastructure all across the country!

There is absolutely no excuse for that level of lying,  and that level of incompetence,  that we have seen out of Trump,  and nearly every appointed figure in his administration!  And you bloody well know that what I say is true!

Now go and do your sworn job:  get him and his appointees out of there,  so that we can have somebody at least barely competent in the White House!  You have absolutely no excuse not to do this,  for all the American people!

I would remind you that you work for us,  your constituents!  You do NOT work for Donald Trump,  and you do NOT work for the Republican party!  They do not hire and fire you,  we constituents do!

This constituent is very angry,  and tired of all the lies,  blunders,  and illegalities associated with the conduct of the Iran war!  Many of us think that this was started by Trump outside of any Constitutional authority,  by attacking another country that did not overtly attack us first!  Even if that start is considered to be authorized,  the 60 day limit is now up,  so that Congress must either authorize its continuation,  or else put an end to it!  You have NO legal choice otherwise!

The Constitution and associated 1973 war powers act say NOT ONE WORD about deadline extensions for cease-fires.  And,  while the bombing is paused,  the naval blockade is active.  So this “cease fire” is hardly a full cessation of war activities!

What is going on right now is either another never-ending Middle East war,  or a defeat for the US by failing to achieve required objectives,  or both!  THAT UGLY SITUATION is intolerable!  As is your playing politics with this,  instead of dealing with it properly! 

Now,   get off your political duff and go do something constructive about this!  AND I DO MEAN NOW!

Iran war                                                                                        325 words

I saw an interview on the PBS NewsHour website with right-winger Robert Kagan,  in which he says that it is likely the US will lose the Iran war,  because we will not obtain any of the things we want from Iran.  Those are an end to their nuclear weapon program,  and opening the Strait of Hormuz to free transit. 

Why is a loss likely?  Because the other (sometimes-restraining) officials were killed in the opening days of the war,  Iran is now a country ruled only by a terrorist army of violent extremists (the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps,  or IRGC),  who do not care how much the people of Iran might suffer.  No terrorists would!  They have already taken what resources they need.  And they are killing all who might oppose them. 

The only remaining way to achieve our goals is regime change in Iran,  which would require mounting an invasion of around half a million (or more) men,  to sweep all across that large country,  and root-out all the IRGC extremists!  And dispose of them!  Failing that,  terrorist-ruled Iran will NEVER stop trying to build a bomb,  and will NEVER AGAIN allow free commerce to transit the Strait,  because that is now the best weapon left to them.

Trump is not going to do that regime change mass invasion,  because he would be impeached,  and he would likely be brought up on war crimes,  as well.  So,  we lose! 

Trump’s demonstrated extreme incompetence in starting this war,  when the experts told him there was no reason for it yet!  And as long as Iran is ruled by a terrorist army,  that means oil shortages in perpetuity,  which in turn means a crashed global economy,  with simultaneous high inflation (which is already just barely starting). 

Stop supporting this incompetent fool!  Get him and his sycophant minions out of there!  Do it now!  Or else we constituents will (sooner or later) fire you! 

Sooner would be better!
