Brzezinski is wrong ... as usual

The following letter went out this morning to newspapers, large and small, nationwide.
To the Editor:
Zbigniew Brzezinski, the former national security advisor under President Jimmy Carter, has declared that the United States should shoot down Israeli fighter jets if they fly through "coalition airspace" on their way to a preventive airstrike against any Iranian facilities suspected of making nuclear weapons.
Brzezinski is wrong ... as usual.
First of all, he neglected the long-standing United States policy to support Israel's right to existence and self-determination. Second, he neglected the fact that the United States has liberated the sovereign nation of Iraq from a despotic ruler; therefore, the USA does not "own" the airspace above Iraq -- even if we do have tactical control thereof -- and thus we are not the proper decision-makers regarding their airspace. Thirdly, his comments echo previous questionable comments that Brzezinski has made about the Jewish lobby in America. Fourth, the strategy of appeasing Islamists does not work -- neither for the United States, nor for our allies. Fifth, if his "advice" is heeded, then the United States would damage relations with not only our best ally in the Middle East, but also our best source of intelligence about that confusing and tumultuous region.
But, there is an even greater reason to sideline Brzezinski.
Three weeks after the storming of the American Embassy in November of 1979, and the capture of hostages there in Tehran, news reports surfaced that President Carter had turned down a request by CIA "agents in place" -- people that were familiar with both the embassy layout and the city of Tehran -- to conduct a clandestine rescue operation before the terrorists could become better organized. Carter consulted with his national security advisor, Brzezinski, and overrode the opinion of a team of trained and experienced intelligence operatives. As a result of Carter following Brzezinski's advice, American hostages languished in captivity for at least one year longer than they would have if the CIA agents had conducted the rescue. And, as we now know, Carter's micro-managing of the military's Operation Eagle Claw created a situation in which that months-later rescue attempted literally blew up in flames in the Iranian desert.
The problem is that Brzezinski is still considered a viable advisor -- on Iran, of all things -- within the Democratic Party, which should instead muzzle him immediately. Worst case scenario: Obama listens to him, as Carter did.

I wonder if Mika Brezinski (Joe Scarborough’s sidekick) is related to this guy....
Bravo!
She’s his daughter.
The Carter administration is completely responsible for allowing the crazies and madmen in the Middle East to gain the power that they now enjoy in the present day. Iy all started with the Carter administration and there is much blood on the hands of Carter and his administration.
Is there official liberal stupidity training?
There’s gotta be.
No one could possible be that incompetent on their own.
Methinks that the Obamaloon was an honor grad of that stupidity training school - he even exceeded the stellar performance of Carter.
I do not want to contemplate the result of such an action.
As a Polish-American I will quote Archie Bunker, “Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but you are one dumb Polack.”
Brez and his daughter got their intellect through low bid government contractor of secondhand opinions.

Ironic that Jimmy (and his former staffers) are still around mucking things up for us there.
And the Jews keep on voting Democrat.
Why yes there is. Those training centers are called colleges and universities.
I can’t believe this guy. Shoot down the planes of our allies? What a fool! I’m sure this admin agrees with him. This admin will do anything it can to build up the Middle East and destroy nations that are friendly to the United States. What would happen if Israel fought back and shot down our planes in defense?
Go figure, right?
These liberal supporting Kool Aid drinkers better start waking up soon to the grim reality of it all.
He is a anti-Jew, socialist hater. But what do you expect from Carter and obamites?
Well,i’m not surprised.
