'Hope For The Best': Rick Scott Confirms There Is No Plan For Iran War
In a media hit with Joe Kernan on CNBC, Senator Rick Scott gave the equivalent of a shrug when asked about the plan for Iran. He essentially said there is no plan for an exit in Iran, there never has been, and we should "hope for the best."
Kernan opened the conversation with this: "The president yesterday intimated that he thinks that whomever that the administration is negotiating with right now, he considers it to be de facto regime change. Do you know who it is? Is it the leader of the Iranian parliament? I looked at some of his history. It's not good, this gentleman. Is he someone that we could work with, a la what we saw in Venezuela?"
But hey, are we really "working" with Venezuela, or did we just invade them long enough to seize their oil and put the squeeze on Cuba? I don't really see that as a partnership. which Scott confirmed.
"The only reason we have control over Venezuela is we control the oil money," he said. "And so we've got to have a transition to democracy there."
Always, y'all, it is about the oil. About all the oil and the oligarchs who control it. If they could drill to the core of the earth and drain it to collapse, they would. These greedy bastards ought to be dispossessed and imprisoned, not glorified as some champion for democracy.
Then Scott turned to Iran. "With regard to Iran, we don't have somebody yet. Am I hopeful? Absolutely."
