Joe Kent and how seriously he should be taken

Look, I like him, and I like his being nominated to lead the NCTC, so I've been listening to him and trying to be even-keeled since his resignation and I have a few thoughts I've come away with and wanted to share. (I have worked in and Intel for the better part of 20 years and I grew up (at least partly) in the Arabian (nee Persian) Gulf region for what it's worth.)

He has a good story, served his country in uniform and beyond, but there are 10's of thousands of people who have done the same (to include a lot of booger eaters. So take what he says with a grain of salt (especially after hearing him say "Nucular" about 50 times in the past 24 hours). It is terrible that his wife passed, but just removing the emotion from it, it is not a qualifier at all in my book outside of the respect and honor we owe his family.

That being said, his point that we wouldn't have joined unless Israel hadn't dictated it is fair, and it's okay to question that, on its face. But seeing as how this regime has the blood of thousands of Americans on their hands and Bibi (and the Joos) had the 40/50 top leaders dead in their sights and were already wheels up, I am not upset that Trump and team took their chance to make sure it was an effective strike.

I am sensitive to the fact that Israel has gotten us into a ton of shite and most of it feeds their Zionist plans to rule the world (it's true you know, and Epstein was totally getting paid/handled by them). But knowing how many Soldier's we lost to EFPs and shenanigans (one could argue that Iz and the Zio's dragged us there too), I sleep better at night knowing we have sent a significant amount of them to their paradise.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
