Military Insiders Alert President Obama That Israel Is Going to Strike Iran

President Obama has just received a notice co-written by multiple military and intelligence insiders warning him that an Iran War resulting from an Israeli strike on Iran nuclear targets is about to break out as early as this month unless he takes quick action to stop it.



The last time that a group of intelligence professionals warned a sitting president about the potential for war was in February of 2003, when George Bush Jr. was warned that he was surrounded by, "advisers clearly bent on a war for which we see no compelling cause."



Needless to say, the warning was concerning the country of Iraq, and we know that the Iraq War was not avoided.



Have we learned nothing from history?



Does the President have the desire to avoid additional bloodshed, or will he let the nation be blindly led to another war depending on questionable pretenses that benefits the couple of at the expense in the numerous?

With both the economy and also the President's approval rating sinking precipitously, war may prove to be an all-too-convenient distraction towards the economic troubles at property, especially if blame can be passed to Israel.



Will the President view an Israeli-induced conflict as an opportune event to grandstand and aggrandize against the war, so that you can boost his approval ratings and take the primary focus of Americans off the economy?



Do we seriously would like to trade higher Presidential approval ratings for our young men and women coming house in caskets?



This warning must not be taken lightly. The scenario is gravely serious, and also the individuals issuing the warning are of the highest of integrity and come from deep within the military and intelligence establishment. Some from the sources sounding the alarm include:



Ray McGovern, US Army Intelligence Officer, Directorate of Intelligence, CIA (30 years)



W. Patrick Lang, Col., USA, Unique Forces (ret.); Defense Intelligence Officer for Middle East/South Asia, Director of HUMINT Collection, Defense Intelligence Agency (30 years)



Phil Giraldi, Directorate of Operations, CIA (20 years)



Ann Wright, Col., US Army Reserve (ret.), (29 years); Foreign Service Officer, Department of State (16 years)



Hundreds of thousands, if not, millions of lives hang within the balance. Will the President heed the warning, or will he succumb to what President Eisenhower described in his farewell address as the "military-industrial complex?"



The warning is real.

The option is clear.

The President will choose. May perhaps he decide on wisely. (ArticlesBase SC #3148231)

Oil Prices and War

Oil prices are going up, up and up. They are expected to go up to 200 Dollars a barrel. Every one of us who thinks about this has different perspective. Consumers blame the government for allowing the prices. Some blame the oil producers while others blame the users for rampant consumption. How about the Iraq war and oil prices?

I have not been able to find out the amount of oil that is consumed in the war in Iraq everyday. Similarly the peacekeeping efforts in Afghanistan must be consuming lot of oil everyday. Why does the US not stop the war and save oil so that prices can come down? US government has huge resources and can buy oil at any price to continue with the war. But what about an ordinary citizen- how is he/she going to survive?

India and China are being blamed for increasing oil prices. Imagine what will happen when other countries become prosperous. The whole of Africa is waiting for prosperity. Lot many South American and smaller Asian nations are waiting to grow. What will happen to oil prices when these countries begin using more oil?

Clearly the aim should be to use less oil and develop other energy sources. Gone are the days of oil guzzlers. And most importantly the war must be stopped to save oil. Has any estimate been made about the oil consumed in the World war Second? Why do not we stop exporting democracy to other countries and take care of our citizens first?

The world leaders do not act for the good of the ordinary person. They only promise to do that during elections. After the elections get over the leaders act to satisfy their own ego and prove to the world that they were right. This causes most misery in the world. Unless this senseless war is stopped oil cannot be saved.
