US security experts warn against all-out war against Iran
[ALMASDARNEWS] US security experts warning about the serious consequences of carrying out regime change in Iran and the Middle East, at the New Horizon international conference in Tehran on Tuesday.

Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Military Intelligence officer Philip Giraldi did not think that the United States’ exit from the Iran nuclear deal could be the catalyst for war. However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
Israeli manoeuvres in the region combined with what he perceives as, US Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s diplomatic impulsiveness, could be the trigger for a wider conflict.

Dr. Scott Bennett, ex-serviceman from the U.S. Army 11th Psychological Operations Battalion feared that European politicians were not alive to the dangers of conflict in the Middle East.

"If Syria and Iran have regime change, we’ll have a massive human tragedy and catastrophe of forced migration and it would cause severe problems for Europe," explained Bennett.

Another senior US security policy analyst Michael Maloof, this time from the Department of Defense, believed the world was looking at a "repeat of 2003", only a wider scale drawing in other regional and world powers.

The article, by Philip Giraldi, included statements saying that anyone who touches on the subject of the US-Israeli relationship and American Jews runs the risk of a “quick trip to obscurity” because “Jewish groups and deep pocket individual donors not only control the politicians, they own and run the media and entertainment industries.”

Focused on a potential impending war with Iran, it asserts that “what makes the war engine run is provided by American Jews who have taken upon themselves the onerous task of starting a war with a country that does not conceivably threaten the United States.” Giraldi went on to assert, “the issue that nearly all the Iran haters are Jewish has somehow fallen out of sight, as if it does not matter. But it should matter.”

Giraldi cites a list of Jews as “conduits for the false information that led to a war [with Iraq] that has spread and effectively destroyed much of the Middle East.”

His column concludes: “We don’t need a war with Iran because Israel wants one and some rich and powerful American Jews are happy to deliver. Seriously, we don’t need it.”

#11 “Our goal should be regime change in Iran,” said Darth Bolton in the final moments of the interview.

But all the actions he called for before that final statement had to do with getting out of President Obama’s deal and assisting and supporting the protesters, Herb. He most definitely did not call for invading the country as we did Iraq —twice.

#12 Herb prefers Iran stay a religious dictatorship, that the regime that's been at war with the US for 40 years be left in place.

Herb supports the enemies of the United States.

What does that make Herb?

#13 No offense meant, Herb. Just playing w words.

In greenhouses, weed knows no season;
No freeze or diseases can breeze in.
It grows tall and regal,
And, perfectly legal,
It prospers beyond any reason.
