The Late Show host made comparisons between current tensions with Iran and the prelude to war with Iraq in 2003.
Late night comedy host Stephen Colbert has lampooned the administration of President Donald Trump, drawing comparisons between growing tensions between the U.S. and Iran to the run-up to the U.S.’s invasion of Iraq more than a decade earlier.
“There is nothing better for taking your mind off a looming trade war than a looming war-war,” the comedian said, opening the segment. “The administration sent an aircraft carrier, a bomber group and other warships to the Persian Gulf region. They were deployed from their previous assignment patrolling the Mexican border,” he added.
“Pompeo went to Brussels this week to explain to our allies why the U.S. is so concerned about Iran,” Colbert said. “But, European officials say that Pompeo didn't show us any evidence. Well that is not right, we know that if you want to make a case for a war in the Middle East you have to present air-tight evidence like this vial full of Sweet'n Low,” he added, cutting to an image of the former Secretary of State holding a model vial of anthrax while addressing the UN Security Council.
