Former 27 year CIA analyst, now peace activist, view of the Syrian crisis

Good piece by Ray McGovern, former 27 year CIA officer, especially his somber warning for Obama in the last paragraphs noted below.

“U.S. officials” told the Post, “CIA Director John Brennan has voiced frustration with U.S. inaction as fighters trained and armed by the agency at camps in Jordan over the past two years face a Russia assault.”

CIA officials do not like to be seen as leaving their own in the lurch — whether in the mountains of Syria or on the beaches of the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. Many serious scholars who have investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy conclude that Allen Dulles, who was fired by Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, led a cabal that killed him — and then sat on the Warren Commission to cover it all up.

We doubt that John Brennan is up to playing that kind of role, or that Dunford, for example, could be persuaded to do what a Marine predecessor, Gen. Smedley Butler, refused to do, join a coup against the sitting U.S. President (in Butler’s case he rejected a right-wing scheme to remove President Franklin Roosevelt from office). But there is reason to think that Obama believes he has more to fear than the fate of his policies. One report alleges that he privately told friends of his fear of ending up like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In sum, Obama has ample reason to be afraid that powerful people in Establishment Washington, convinced they know better than he how to protect the country, might succeed in pinning on his back a “too-soft-on-the-Russians” bulls-eye.

U.S. Must Stop its Illegal, Counterproductive War
to Overthrow the Assad Government in Syria

A Hawaiian Aloha for F-22 Raptors
Six Hawaii Air National Guard F-22 Stealth Raptor fighters ($339 million each) and more than 200 Hawaii based pilots and maintenance personnel are now involved in bombing Syria and Iraq.

See the excellent 8 min. CNN video interview with Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard saying U.S.  Must Stop the Illegal, Counterproductive War to Overthrow Assad. She says it will only create more chaos like what the US caused in Iraq and Libya, plus the possibility of a dangerous confrontation by accident or design with Russia.

Renowned author and intellectual Noam Chomsky, echos Rep. Gabbard’s concern. This idea, that the United States has the right to invade, bomb, and kill, is a myth. He asks “ “What right do we have to kill somebody in some other country who we don’t like?” See the full interview with Chomsky here:
