The last time that a group of intelligence experts warned a sitting president about the possible 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."
Of course, the warning was concerning 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 far more bloodshed, or will he let the nation be blindly led to yet another war based on questionable pretenses that advantages the few at the expense with the a lot of?
With both the economy and the President's approval rating sinking precipitously, war might prove to be an all-too-convenient distraction towards the economic troubles at home, specially if blame could be passed to Israel.
Will the President view an Israeli-induced conflict as an opportune event to grandstand and aggrandize against the war, so as to boost his approval ratings and take the primary focus of Americans off the economy?
Do we seriously wish to trade greater Presidential approval ratings for our young men and women coming property in caskets?
This warning should not be taken lightly. The scenario is gravely significant, along with the persons 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 incorporate:
Ray McGovern, US Army Intelligence Officer, Directorate of Intelligence, CIA (30 years)
W. Patrick Lang, Col., USA, Unique 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 within 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 genuine.
The choice is clear.
The President will choose. May possibly he pick wisely.
