Hannity Longs For Trump ‘Obliterate’ Iran

Chickenhawk Sean Hannity seems like he can hardly wait for millions to die in yet another needless, disastrous war, this time with Iran.

Just a few days after Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald wagged their fingers at neocons in other media outlets trying to cheerlead Donald Trump into a war with Iran, Sean Hannity sounded like Nuke 'Em A-Go-Go.

Last week, I wrote about Hannity’s berserk response to his Bedtime BFF calling off a military strike against Iran. Then, Hannity talked hopefully about Trump having “no choice” but to “bomb the hell out of” Iran. “No need for a long protracted boots on the ground kind of war,” the newly-minted military strategist Hannity announced. Did I mention this "expert" never served a day in his life?

Now, with colleague Tucker Carlson apparently winning the top foreign strategy adviser position with the fan in chief, I’m wondering if unofficial chief of staff Hannity isn’t jealous. Today, on his radio show, Hannity spoke hopefully about “obliterating” Iran. Media Matters caught the war mongering:

HANNITY: [Trump has] now put pressure on -- massive pressure on the Iranians, which is why they're acting out. I like the fact that people have an impression of Donald Trump that is inaccurate. Literally, Donald Trump said he'd do all these things and he did them. … And the fact that he hasn't obliterated, as he said he may have to, the Iranians, I believe he will.

…

But the president said he may obliterate them, and guess what, he may. And is he ever going to get us into a foreign entanglement? No, he's dead set against it. But would he obliterate them? Oh, yeah. Now, if he would go too fast, everyone would be furious with him.

Hey Sean you are willing to use dead soldiers and civilians so you can get high ratings. Why don’t you encourage your 20 year old son to sign up with the military and fight the battle you’re drooling over.

“is he ever going to get us into a foreign entanglement? No, he’s dead set against it. But would he obliterate them? Oh, yeah.” Seems contradictory.

And we long for someone, anyone, to obliterate Hannity – legally and financially speaking of course.

I only hope that Hannity will “ride”: the first thermonuclear warhead like Slim Pickens did in Doctor Strangelove. (Comment edited by moderator: No talk of violence is allowed, even if you’re just kidding.)

I am not convinced that the Pence White House will walk away from this opportunity to attack Iran. I believe they are evaluating WHICH strategy of attack they wish to employ, and when would be the optimum time to do so.

What Hannity is really concerned about is making sure this attack is timed best to help Mike Pence get re-elected. He wants to make sure that a massive attack and bombing happens, to slake the Right’s hatred of Iran, to be sure – but he wants that massive attack to happen at the worst possible time for any Dems trying to run against a wartime consigliere, er, Right Wing white house.

My instincts say that they’ll do a smaller scale attack this year, within the next couple of months, keep fuming at Iran for the rest of the year, and then launch a much bigger attack next summer just before the Dems hold their convention.
