Ex-CIA Director Who Endorsed Clinton Calls for Killing Iranians and Russians in Syria

But do you agree with what he is saying?

I haven't watched the video, not do I intend to.  If he's advocating essentially waging proxy warfare on Russia and Iran - and it sounds like he is - I'm opposed to that as much as I'm opposed to any warfare.

He literally just says what is in the OP.

Good that you're against it.

I realize that, I'm just pretty skeptical almost to point of cynicism regarding the accuracy and objectivity of the media. That and I didn't watch the video. Didn't want to jump to conclusions.

I'd greatly prefer it if my country stopped behaving like dicks on the international stage.

Of course the logical question is which of the six remaining "moderates" that we recruited would do the job?

US has trained only 'four or five' Syrian fighters against Isis, top general testifies

Senators appear incredulous and call for a new plan after hearing news that US military’s $500m effort has resulted in training of only a handful of fighters

Truthfully, I think the Russkis could handle them fairly easily!

An ex-CIA spook advocates black ops?

I'm shocked, really.

And talking on television assessable to the whole world about killing Russians without telling the world.


The stupid thing is the Russians are probably not any less proficient in covertly killing our guys than we are at "covertly" killing theirs.  Do we really want that to boomerang back on us?

In fact, if history is any guide, I think it should be taken as a rule then whenever there is covert operation involving operatives on the ground, the other guy will probably be better at it then we are.

The white hats must give us away.

Well I don't really care what people who endorse Hillary Clinton say. Lots of people endorse her, some are bound to be crazy or warmongers or whatever. It's like people crying about David Duke. You don't have to respond to every single person who endorses you nor do their opinions really matter. Min endorses Hillary too, but I don't think Hillary is responsible for every time he says the word cunt.
