A strategy of crimes against American law, of unconstitutional actions, and of war crimes

Pompeo: U.S. is now targeting Iran’s ‘actual decision-makers’

Totally unauthorized acts of war that would likely be, moreover, war crimes, in defiance of American law and the constitution.

That's his plan, to do all this without worrying about the congress at all.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday the U.S. strategy in countering Iran is to target the country’s “actual decision-makers” rather than to focus on Iranian proxy forces in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.

Pompeo was explaining U.S. strategy in the aftermath of the U.S. drone strike that killed Iran’s most powerful general, Qassem Soleimani, who was mastermind of the country’s military operations outside Iran.

Pompeo strongly criticized the Iran policy of the Obama administration, saying it fruitlessly focused on Iranian proxies rather than on Iran itself.

He said the U.S. had previously sought to “challenge and attack everybody who was running around with an AK-47 or a piece of indirect artillery. We’ve made a very different approach. 

"We’ve told the Iranian regime, ‘Enough. You can’t get away with using proxy forces and think your homeland will be safe and secure.’ 

"We’re going to respond against the actual decision-makers, the people who are causing this threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
