CIA Concerned That - WH Exaggerated Intell Used To Justify Israeli Air Raid In Syria
Concern is also growing in the CIA and the Pentagon that the White House exaggerated intelligence used to justify an Israeli air raid on a suspected nuclear facility in Syria earlier this month, which some neo-conservatives hope is a precursor to war with Iran.

Bruce Reidel, a former CIA Middle East desk officer, said the neo-conservatives realised their influence would wane rapidly when Mr Bush left office in just over 15 months. "Whatever crazy idea they have to try to transform the Middle East, they have to push now. The real hardline neo-conservatives are getting desperate that the door of history is about to close on them with an epitaph of total failure."

2. Their end can't come soon enough
Neoconservatism has bee an absolute blight on human kind. It's more of a disease than anything else. A cancer would be an apt analogy.

16. Except Ms Clinton is already on board with the lies about Syria and Iran, and THAT
was made painfully clear at that debate.

BCCI continues - and THAT is why they let their 'culprit' AQ Khan have his freedom last June.

11. Is the UN trying to run out *'s clock by pushing Iran's sanction
resolutions back to November?

I know that he doesn't need UN's blessing or cover. Or congress' for that matter. But, if he is to bomb Iran, it will have to be either: in response to an attack or "when diplomacy and sanctions have failed."

12. This is the Israeli attack on Syria that Hillary fully supports!
On the Wednesday night debates, Hillary said that she did NOT have any of the details, but that she fully supported the attack!

If it is Israel killing Arabs, two US Senators will always support it without question or qualification.
*Joe Lieberman
*Hillary Clinton

15. I hate this living-in-limbo, are-we-going-to-kill thousands-more-people
paranoia. God-dammit, this is more than completely unacceptable. And America sits with baited breath...
