Nearly two hundred retired generals and admirals sent a letter to Congress asking members to oppose the Iran deal, the Washington Post reported Wednesday.
The retired officers warned in the letter that the nuclear deal was “unverifiable” and would “threaten the national security and vital interests of the United States” by providing Iran a 10-year path to a nuclear bomb and handing the regime $150 billion in sanctions relief:
In summary, this agreement will enable Iran to become far more dangerous, render the Mideast still more unstable and introduce new threats to American interests as well as our allies. In our professional opinion, far from being an alternative to war, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action makes it likely that the war the Iranian regime has waged against us since 1979 will continue, with far higher risks to our national security interests. Accordingly, we urge the Congress to reject this defective accord.
Earlier this month, a group of 36 flag officers sent a dueling letter to Congress in support of the nuclear deal. The letter was organized with help from the White House, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
I hope my old Boot Camp Series Commander, ret. as a Lt Gen is on there.
And Valley.. For starters.
The history of our military is the history of this nation.
Without. WE do not exist.
I wish they had sent this letter to the GOP Senate when they handed 0bama and Kerry a blank check at the start of all of this.
Vallely. Oops.
Damn spillchukker.
They’ll be referred to as right-wingers.
Earlier Obama had coaxed 30 retired flag officers to come out in favor of the Iran Deal. All of the 30 were lesser ranked and not important to the decision process. But Obama strutted about with the letter acting as if he had some sort of moral backing for what he’s doing.
So this is in response to the above nonsense.
They’ll be referred to as right-wingers.
*******************************
I think the new term du jour is “crazies”.
Mmmm...
Retired Generals and Officers from a non-politically correct era say the Iran deal is a bad deal.
But those currently serving in a facist, ultra-PC military under 0bama and in the Pentagon strongly support the deal.
Gee, which ones to believe?
Extremists ..
Willing to kill so latte moms could chill after a visit to Ashley Madison
We should have congressional hearings.. Over the latte..
Life is all about priorities.. Or so I thought.
Semper Fi
And ignored.
Where is the list, I’d LOVE to see who appeared on it.
and how many retired under Obama. Which means, forced out in my book.
Never mind I found it.
OH YEAH!!!!
I’ll see your 36 Generals who support the Iran Treaty and raise you 164 Generals and Flag Officers who DON’T!
Bkmrk
It is nice to know there are some retired generals willing to take a stand for defending this country.
Quite a few of them were “Victims” of the Tailhook ‘91 Witch Hunt(Thank You PU$$Y Bush ‘41). If’n I were President I would tell EACH and EVERY one of these to get their A$$es back into uniform and RE-BUILD/Re-Form the United States Military that the Bushes, Clintons AND Obama has SWIVED(look it up) UP since 1989!
Full letter is here:
It’s actually 190 names on the list.
Maybe talk to Trump.
Thanks for the ping. These retired officers are correct, but neither political party in Congress will listen to them.
