Up until now, Americans have been forced to take President Donald Trump at his word that Iran was planning imminent attacks against U.S. installations, thus warranting the presidents directive on Friday to assassinate Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, Irans top military leader.
Thats not good enough. The global community deserves proof that the presidents actions did indeed prevent an escalation of violence.
We need that assurance, desperately, because weve been down this road before with the lie of weapons of mass destruction that took us to war in Iraq in 2003.
