U.S. Intel Head: If We Destroy Hamas, We Might End Up With Something Worse

Michael Flynn, the current head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, spoke at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado over the weekend and gave a disturbing warning about the current Gaza conflict, remarking, “If Hamas were destroyed and gone, we would probably end up with something much worse.”

According to Reuters, Flynn does not believe taking out Hamas is the answer. He said he very much doubts there will be peace in the region any time soon, and went after Hamas for building all those tunnels that helped them fight back against Israeli forces.

But as for Hamas itself, Flynn said that “a worse threat” could come along, even suggesting it could be “something like ISIS,” the terrorist group that claimed territory in both Iraq and Syria in the past few months.

I can see this idiot in 1945: If we bomb Japan they might hate us later, why don’t we just invade?

There is no “worse” when it comes to Islam. There is only pedophile worshipping devils and more pedophile worshipping devils. This is the same kind of crap our first foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected devil worshipping POTUS used as an excuse to not show a photo of the faux Bin Laden Seal team 6 was tricked into killing: “We don’t want to anger Muslims”...Oh so we don’t want to get them really really really really really mad at us as compared to being really really really really mad at us.

There can never be peace anywhere as long as Muslims practice the fundamentals of their religion.-Tom

This is the same guy I heard with my own two ears say, in reference to all these government domestic spying programs, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about.”

ooo - something bad might happen if we do the right thing - so let’s do nothing...

Cowards! - if something bad happens, then, we will deal with it.

(same excuse for not dealing with Obama the way we should - over both his lawlessness and his fraudulent birth records.)
