Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

This is incredible. It's an article from the New York Times which berates Trump for calling off the strike on Iran after they shot down our unmanned drone. It pits him as a coward, that he blinked, and that his people, like Pence, Pompeo, and Bolton, were shocked and incredulous. It claims that Trump never asked about the expected casualties, that he was told from the beginning that 150 Iranians were expected to die. Then, it quotes this Rear Admiral Boyle who said they were all ready and eagerly waiting, "but the order never came" like he was going to cry over it.  Please read this because it is incredible. 

So, how did the U.S. media get to be so war-mongering? And are they blind to reality? If we had struck at Iran and killed 150 Iranians, it's extremely likely that Iran would have retaliated, and next we would have been at full scale war with them. But, the United States can't beat the ragtag Taliban in Afghanistan, which has no Navy, no Air Force, and even its ground forces have no tanks and no mechanized anything. They are just a bunch of guys with rifles and hand-held missile launchers, and with a lot of adeptness at using improvised IEDs and suicide bombers. Iran has a modern military with everything except nukes. And considering the disastrous outcomes of all the U.S. wars, why would anyone want another one?  

The article presumes that Iran attacked the oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, even though Iran has profusely denied it, and a militant group from Yemen has taken responsibility. 

No mention was made of the fact that Russia determined that the U.S. drone shot down by Iran was indeed within Iranian air space. 

Every single Democratic candidate for President, plus the Republican candidate Trump, say that the Iraq War was a "mistake" which is quite a euphemism considering that we killed over a million Iraqis. But, a war with Iran would be a much bigger mistake, considering Iran's ability to fight back. 

This article is credited to three authors plus two other contributors, so it took five people to write it. It goes to show how pervasive the war mentality is at the New York Times and throughout the U.S. mainstream media. And they just may get their wish.
