The impeached President tried to talk tough again the other day when he proclaimed, "Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon as long as I am President." Well, thanks to President Obama's policies Iran never had a nuclear weapon at any time in the 8 years Obama served as President. So Trump inherited a nuclear weapons free Iran and the only question that remains is this: Can Trump keep Iran that way and follow in President Obama's footsteps?
We also know President Obama never had to send additional U.S. troops to the middle east to guard against Iranian retaliation against our troops like Trump did this week and it should be noted how Trump's actions in the middle east this week was a mirror image of former President George W. Bush when he said Iran's attacks against American troops in Iraq was an imminent threat but could not articulate to congress what those threats were. If that sounds familiar its because you heard President Bush say that Iraq had stockpiled WMD ready to use but Bush never offered proof of those WMD to congress or the public because they did not exist at any time during the Bush administration.
This March the war in Iraq over WMD that did not exist will enter its 18th year and American troops are still paying the ultimate price while an impeached President Trump's rhetoric continue to fan the flames of war. The middle east was a safer place when President Obama left office than it is today. History has yet to be written if the middle east will be a safer place when Trump leaves office.
When the Iran nuclear agreement was in effect on President Obama's watch Iran was not allowed to produce any nuclear material to weapons grade. But they are in the process of doing that now since Trump walked away from the agreement. And the irony of it all is the agreement was enforced by inspection, something Israel, Pakistan and India have never allowed.
