Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 4 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 4 On 1/3/2020 at 7:26 AM, Mainecat said: Trump used to accuse Obama of trying to 'start a war' with Iran to get re-elected President Donald Trump’s Pentagon on Thursday claimed credit for the “hugely consequential” assassination of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani in Iraq. Soleimani is a “revered” figure in Iran, and the country’s state television cut scheduled broadcasts to show photos of the general with a call for prayers. With Middle East analysts expecting retaliation — and even war — it’s important to remember Trump’s views on the subject. In 2012, Trump was convinced that then-President Barack Obama would launch a war with Iran to boost his re-election effort. Political scientists refer to a “rally around the flag” rise in poll numbers for commanders-in-chief at war. “I always said Barack Obama will attack Iran, in some form, prior to the election,” Trump tweeted in August of 2012.
