攻撃の口実

“The President’s first responsibility is the safety of the American people. Qasem Soleimani was plotting imminent attacks in the region against Americans in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon that could have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people,” Hook told Al Arabiya TV.

 “The President has a constitutional responsibility to prevent those actions from killing Americans. He took an entirely lawful action,” Hook continued. “I have seen all of the intelligence that supports the decision. It was very solid intelligence.”

敵が多くのアメリカ人を殺す計画を立てていたので、攻撃したのだ、・・・・・太平洋戦争末期、無差別空爆で疲弊した日本に原爆を落とした後の口実でもあったし、イラクが大量破壊兵器をもっているとして侵略したときの口実でもあったね。
