Obama Warned Israel May Bomb Iran

Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity issue memo over possible War With Iran.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - We write to alert you to the likelihood that Israel will attack Iran as early as this month. This would likely lead to a wider war.

Israel’s leaders would calculate that once the battle is joined, it will be politically untenable for you to give anything less than unstinting support to Israel, no matter how the war started, and that U.S. troops and weaponry would flow freely. Wider war could eventually result in destruction of the state of Israel.

The Hidden Face of Sanctions

The real purpose of sanctions is not to affect the policies of the Iranian government, it is to destroy Israel’s last remaining competitor in the region.

(JACKSON, Miss.) - The sanctions imposed recently against Iran by the United Nations, and later separately by the US Congress, have one thing in common. Both were driven by the US at the instigation of Israel.

But they are also, I believe, generally misunderstood. Sanctions are normally intended to alter the behavior of the country being sanctioned — to punish it for what it is doing, to keep it from continuing practices or policies others find objectionable, or both.

Will the U.S. Use the Military Option to Prevent Iran`s Nuclear Ambitions?

Hopefully, Iran's leaders will agree to the deal agreed to by Iran's negotiators, but rejected by Iran's leaders.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - I am partially responding to Zahir Ebrahim's passionate article, "The Persian Useful Idiots!." I agree with at least one of his premises.
