Former UN ambassador John Bolton to be next national security adviser




John Bolton was a recess appointment to be UN ambassador. He was never confirmed by the Senate due to his worldview.  He once stated you should blow up most to the UN.  John Bolton is also a neocon who supported the second war in Iraq and would like America to go to war with Iran and cancel the nuclear agreement which was approved by the 5 permanent members of the Security Council and Germany.

McMaster is the latest of several senior officials to leave the White House, following the departure of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Trump announced earlier this month that he intends for CIA Director Mike Pompeo to be Tillerson’s replacement, starting in April. 
At least a dozen aides to the president have now left their posts in a little over a year.
NBC News was first to report that the White House was preparing for McMaster’s exit, a move reportedly orchestrated by chief of staff John Kelly and Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis. In response, the Trump administration dismissed NBC’s March 1 report as “fake news” and stressed that McMaster was doing “a great job.”

Iran and America Corprorating In Iraq?

Here's a werid hypothedical: The American's and Iranian's joining forces to combat ISIL militants fighting to establish an Islamic Calphate streching from Syria accoss Iraq.   This crisis has drawn together two nations which have had no diplomatic relations since 1979 when Iranian students took control of the American embassy in Terhran and held 54 people hostage for more than a year.

Today, supposided enemies have a shared interst in prevent ISIL from establishing a beachhead in Iraq.    If not for George W. Bush and the complete stupidity of American Neo-Cons Iraq wouldn't currently be decending down the rabbit hole.  While reglious and ethnic divisions would still exist they wouldn't be manifiesting themselves in open warfare.



Iran is ready to assist the Iraqi government in its battle against extremist Sunni insurgents, President Hassan Rouhani has said.
But he denied Iran had sent troops into Iraq to help bolster Iraqi government forces' defences.
The insurgents - from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) - have seized the cities of Mosul and Tikrit and are moving closer to Baghdad.
They regard Iraq's Shia majority as "infidels".
Iran has close ties with the Shia-dominated Iraqi leadership which came to power after the toppling of President Saddam Hussein, whose powerbase was the country's Sunni minority.
Rouhani also made reference to the fact Tehran was cooperating with its old enemy Washington to defeat the Sunni insurgent group – which is attempting to ignite a sectarian war beyond Iraq's borders.
The Iraqi official said 1,500 basiji forces had crossed the border into the town of Khanaqin, in Diyala province, in central Iraq on Friday, while another 500 had entered the Badra Jassan area in Wasat province overnight. The Guardian confirmed on Friday that Major General Qassem Suleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' elite Quds Force, had arrived in Baghdad to oversee the defence of the capital.
