subject: Army Insiders Advise President Obama That Israel Is About To Hit Iran [print this page] President Obama has just got a letter co-written by multiple military and intelligence insiders cautioning him that an Iran War resulting from an Israeli hit on Iran nuclear targets is going to break out as early as this month unless he takes quick action to stop it.
The last time that a group of intelligence experts warned a sitting president about the prospective for war was in February of 2003, when George Bush Jr. was warned that he was surrounded by, "advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling cause."
Needless to say, the warning was regarding the country of Iraq, and we know that the Iraq War was not avoided.
Have we learned nothing from history?
Does the President have the desire to avoid more bloodshed, or will he let the nation be blindly led to yet another war based on questionable pretenses that benefits the couple of at the expense with the quite a few?
With both the economy plus the President's approval rating sinking precipitously, war may perhaps prove to be an all-too-convenient distraction for the economic troubles at household, in particular if blame may be passed to Israel.
Will the President view an Israeli-induced conflict as an opportune event to grandstand and aggrandize against the war, as a way to boost his approval ratings and take the primary focus of Americans off the economy?
Do we seriously desire to trade greater Presidential approval ratings for our young men and women coming home in caskets?
This warning need to not be taken lightly. The scenario is gravely serious, and the men and women issuing the warning are from the highest of integrity and come from deep within the military and intelligence establishment. Some of the sources sounding the alarm contain:
Ray McGovern, US Army Intelligence Officer, Directorate of Intelligence, CIA (30 years)
W. Patrick Lang, Col., USA, Special Forces (ret.); Defense Intelligence Officer for Middle East/South Asia, Director of HUMINT Collection, Defense Intelligence Agency (30 years)
Phil Giraldi, Directorate of Operations, CIA (20 years)
Ann Wright, Col., US Army Reserve (ret.), (29 years); Foreign Service Officer, Department of State (16 years)
Hundreds of thousands, if not, millions of lives hang inside the balance. Will the President heed the warning, or will he succumb to what President Eisenhower described in his farewell address as the "military-industrial complex?"
The warning is actual.
The option is clear.
The President will determine. May perhaps he opt for wisely.
