Replacing John Bolton as National Security Advisor, Robert C. O’Brien. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n

President Donald Trump on Wednesday named his special envoy for hostage negotiations Robert C. O\u2019Brien as his new national security adviser.<\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2019Brien replaces the ousted hawk John Bolton.<\/span><\/p>\n

He does not face Senate confirmation and will be Trump\u2019s fourth national security adviser in three years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strikingly, just days ago in Israel, O\u2019Brien contemplated war<\/strong><\/span><\/a> with Iran over Americans imprisoned in that country.<\/span><\/p>\n

His promotion comes in the very week US-Iranian tensions have ratcheted to their highest point during Trump\u2019s tenure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The president, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and Saudi Arabia are now pointing fingers at Iran<\/a><\/strong><\/span> over the recent attack on two Saudi oil refineries.<\/span><\/p>\n

The strikes appear to have been retaliation for the thousands of Yemeni civilian casualties inflicted in the past few years by a Saudi military outfitted with American weaponry<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

US is in denial if it thinks that Yemeni victims of 4.5 yrs of the worst war crimes wouldn't do all to strike back.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it's embarrassed that $100s of blns of its arms didn't intercept Yemeni fire.<\/p>\n

But blaming Iran won't change that.<\/p>\n
