I think hope is that Iran will bow to anglo-$ionists. Cuba is another pawn in game to make alies instead enemies and all toward big players.

I have to question the motivation of any flag officer who has survived Obama's purges.
The face of this would have to be Admiral Kirby, now State Dept spokesman who replaced Psaki and Harf.
It's a big job, Admiral, filling the shoes of a Jen Psaki or a Marie Harf.
Any flag officer worth his salt would have either a) retired on the spot, or b) told them to blow it out their ass, then retire on the spot.
What happens after the U.S. goes into Syria and Ukraine after the catastrophic failure that was Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan and Libya!
And why these ex-generals, admirals, statesmen and stateswomen are such fucking cowards!
Thank God!!!
When you know you've reached your limit are over extended and without the means of both support and funds to fight a war you can't possibly win... You" Hope" you have a Russia in order to make you "Change" your mind that you decided to square off in the first place!!!
Wonder what Obama's poster will look like now?!!!
Since when do military leaders vote on foreign policy?
Dear Leader is pleased that they agree publically with their commander-pretend-in-chief. On other news, 3 generals were separated from the military for lack of good judgment.
This just in, 9 out of 10 lesbian general officers promoted to positions vacated by Obama culling his political enemies favor this deal.
8 out of 10 just hoping to hold onto thier jobs and retire gracefully also support it.
An unknown number of former balistic missle defense commanders who were separated from the service could not be reached for thier opinions.
Obama wants it, therefore I hate it. Tell me ONE FUCKING TIME this guy has ever earned my trust and one initiative that didn't screw us.
Why are you guys so antisemitic. Are 95% of you just paid trolls trying to discredit this site?
It's not antisemitic to support your own country's interest above the interests of other countries, it's called patriotism and not being a traitor. You can't have it both ways.
I'm not a tinfoil hat nut that says Jews control everything. Jews are not in charge of everything, just little things like Hollywood, news, government, finance, banking, you know, the small details that control the minds and the pocketbooks of the sheeple.
Name one other country that routinely enjoys having their dual citizenship citizens in the highest eschelon positions of the US government? Russia? Nope. China? Nope. Israel? Bingo. Name one other country that wisks our junior congressmen off to an all expenses paid junket to their country. No? (crickets)
Look, you can deny till your blue in the face and say it's completely a coincidence that 1.8% of our population (Jews) control all our important industries, but that's the facts, Jack. You can call me names when I express whether this state of affairs is a good thing or a bad thing, but you will not silence me through criticism merely for citing the facts.
And for desert, just today, someone made this little observation:
''If Jews account for just 2% of the general population, then, all things being equal, there would be a 1/50 chance of a single Jew being selected as Fed Chair. The odds of FIVE consecutive Jews would therefore be 1/50 x 1/50 x 1/50 x 1/50 x 1/50 = 1 in 312,500,000!"---Radical Marijuana
There's gotta be a"disparate impact" lawsuit in there somewhere.
Sounds credible to me:
Wake me up when they support closing non-U.S. military bases and defending the Constitution.
These fine soldiers would give their life for their Country. But, would not lift a finger or speak out if it might endanger their government career.
Are there any military officers left who don't support Obama policies? I thought he culled them all which explains this list.
beware generals bearing gifts. Why would they support this iran deal? Why would republicans pretend to be against it? Whatever is really in it you can be sure it's not good.
This is all ridiculous. Everybody knows Israel can nuke Iran and the Saudis and pretty much anybody else in the Middle Easst (and elsewehre) over and over and over again. Plus we all know the Samson Option, right?
The plain facts of the matter are that Iran's Never Attacked Anybody.
and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that – even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb – it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
I don't have an opinion on Iran and nukes, but tend to agree with you. If we stopped beating up on them, they wouldn't have us as the big Satan, and antagonist to keep their people in line. If they attack Iran, it won't be for their nukes, it will be for money.
Any Iranian bomb would be nothing but a barganinig chip, if they ever used a nuke the country would become a glass parking lot. Any nuclear deal the US offers is just a carrot to keep Iran from supporting Assad and destroying the US operatives in Syria, known as ISIS. A Tangled Web We Weave.
It only takes one nuke to knock this counry on its behind.
One nuke exploded 300 miles over Kansas would pretty much knock out the grid and most transportation from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico. Say good by to electricity, water, natural gas, gasoline, cell phones, cars produced after 1974, and microwaves--well you get the picture.
Hello 18th century. Hope you got some non-hybrid seeds, manual water pump, lots of food, water, and hand tools. Gold, silver, and lead to protect your stash away from the city lights would be oh so helpful too.
Well said. The Navy laughed at air power, believing in their battleships until one plane sunk and old ship during a demonstration.
Exchanging nukes went out with disco. You just nuke the skies and let the enemy fall apart from the weight of its civilian population.
Proxies don't count eh?
What is the point of this article? Should I care if those people support the treaty? Does it change my view of the treaty?
If John Skarry and Barak O are for it, it is a BAD TREATY. That's all I need to know. I could care less about what those other people think of it.
You might want to check those names against the list of dead/made-up Chicago voters.
Yeah!! The Democrats are selling us out. The Republicans would never play politics and lie to support the MIC just because of political donations or for post political jobs supporting the defense industry. Remember all the WMD we found in Iraq after the 2nd Gulf War?? Obama is a traitor, the Iranians are weeks away from deploying nuclear weapons. We need to BOMB IRAN NOW!!!!! Anything Obama says is a lie. Everything the Republicans say is the truth. Period!!!
Head fake so Iran doesn't prepare for meta yahoos attack
They left off the most important name of a supporter - the Iranian leader - and if he likes the deal then we know it is bad for the U.S.! Especially as we learn more details and side deals.
Care to elaborate if you would change your opinion if I point out that Bibi Netanyahu does not like the deal?
all those military "supporters" listed above are merely trying to hold on to their jobs after surviving emperor obola's 7 year purge of the military
MISLEADING ARTICLE GEORGE!!!
These guys are mostly retired fucks. Some have been retired from the service for over 10 years. Just because they USED TO BE generals and admirals gives them zero cred today. Yet the casual observer reading this would think that they are serving NOW and responsible for the protection of our country TODAY.
You just lost your credibility with this one.
Icarus
why does being retired automatically lose you credibility? I'm not that old yet but I'm not going to go around being ageist and saying anyone old is stupid because I will be old myself some day and I know I won't want to be a hypocrite.
Are those military guys retired - like in the ground cause they would have to be brain dead to support a treaty that allows Iran to self inspect and self report like the side treaty does? Furthermore, iIf anyone in the active military, supports such a side treaty, they must be serving in the Mullahs Military.
Numero Uno!
Just Lost?
U must be new here. GW never had any cred, and all we can figger is that he is really the force behind this blog.
If Zbig likes it, then you know it's good for WWIII. Way to go Washington, blow that dwindling credibility.
I'm old fashioned, I guess. I only give a squirt of piss about a foreign country if its soldiers show up on my land.
Yeah, but the War Party needs your tax dollars. Got to keep meeting those quarterly earnings.

Is this their way to start a big war? Job security? Wipe Iran off the map for the MIC and bankers? After the military purged the honorable, who knows.
Then, I see, Ziggy supports it and that clears it up. They're hoping for war. There, not here. Yet.
We could never wipe Iran off the map for 3 good reasons.
(1) We dont have enough bombs
(2) We dont have the time
(3) We dont have the money
IRAN isn't Iraq or Afghanistan.
I did not see your comment. Plus 1 million brother, you too know the score.
Wasn't Dempsey the one who told the Bammer that there wouldn't be no invasion of Syria?
Other than that, the only generla I would even think to trust one atom of opinion of, has Rtd. at the end of his name.
They cleared out all of the patriots in Dubya's time and first term Bampot.
Look, let'a get something straight,
"Jews are fundamentally liars. They lie mercilessly even to themselves. Jews lie about everything. Meaning by everything literally “every single thing”. You can’t have a simple truth from aJew. Even or the most insignificant thing. I guess there must be some psychiatric, anthropological and sociological explanations for that lying compulsive behavior. There’s no more racist and disgusting slogan than “the chosen people.” It looks like derived from that slogan, they are taught and trained in the synagogues not to try and do anything but oppress peoples. For that purpose they lie again and again. Jews give God a bad name"
abrhamic god, the original liar
Are those the same guys that supported the invasion of Iraq?
yep-they assisted in the engineering of 911, sent phoney intel saying Saddam did it, then sat back with bags of popcorn and watched. No wonder Saddam had a quick trial and was hung-he knew too much
How Netanyahu Outsmarted Himself
Hey Geo? When you start naming these names for attribution, I know what you sincerely think of your audience...your faithful audience, as closer to Heifers and Daises than fact filled synthesizing people. You aren't insulting me, you're insulting your loyal following. DemPublican?
The only good possibility imo, is the Ayatollahs will hear their Hidden Iman's counsel for a high holy prophesying kinetic event next SOTUS in downtown DC.
I see the prospect of 40 million Persians winking out, and the Sunni World conferring honorary Imamhood upon the Israeli PM.
Those results appear to me to be total HOG SHIT. Just sayin.
Mainstream media does not report these details behind the Iranian agreement.

thank you zh for another splendid opportunity to bash zionazis. they make it so easy, like shooting unarmed palestinian children.
Is that something like young unarmed black teens walking home with Skittles when they got shot by white pooolice?
