Stephen Colbert deplores unlike Trump, George W Bush respected us enough to lie to us “on the wars of the Middle East | Video
Stephen Colbert drew more than 20 years from his career to criticize the Trump administration for attacking Iran this weekend.
More specifically, to call Donald Trump and Al for not even having taken the trouble to build a convincing affair for the attacks, which led Colbert to joke that at the rental of the previous republican president, George W. Bush, made the effort to lie about the reasons for the attack on Iraq.
“On Saturday, Trump surprised the world, announcing that the United States has launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear installations. Now do an imminent threat? I do not know. On the one hand, Iran’s slogan is not` Life to America ”, but it is difficult to trust a monologue.
“Hey, hey, hey, my friend, we are also in the car, okay, and if we are dead, we cannot give you five stars. This is my hard rule for rating,” he added.
After having directed the public through some of the chips of the conflict, including the incredibly strange public address that Trump gave on the issue on Saturday, Colbert noted that the Trump administration’s statements of an Iranian nuclear weapons program are not really supported by any American intelligence.
“But if the information was not there, how did Trump decided that it was time to attack Iran’s nuclear program?
“And remember, this is not the first military industrial rodeo in America. I do jokes to find out whether or not we should wage war in the Middle East, in the Middle East for 22 years. I made jokes Since The Middle East for people who were sent in danger according to credible information. But I would say this about the Bush administration, “continued Colbert. At least they respected us enough to lie to us. ”
“Apparently, the Trump administration does not care what we think. They present no evidence. Come, the guys, we just scare us a little.” I mean as much, a large part of the powder could have refreshed everyone in this building. “
“Trump should be there saying that Iran hides 50 tonnes of mustard gas in a turkey farm, or 50 tonnes of mustard turkey in a fuel farm, or hybrids of human animal or anything. You just have to sell it with trees. It’s just lazy. There are just production values. Put a little effort,” he added.
