L'Affare Kent

You may have read of the resignation-in-protest of Joe Kent, an administration counter-intelligence official. He announced it was in protest of the war in Iran, he claims Iran is no threat.

Fox News' Aishah Hasnie reports:

A senior administration official tells FOX, Joe Kent was:

-a known leaker and he was cut out of POTUS intelligence briefings months ago.
-the WH told DNI Tulsi Gabbard he should be fired for suspected leaks but she never did.
-he has not been part of any Iran planning discussions or briefings at all.

"He said, she said," who knows who is right?  Both sides have reason to lie, and probably are.

My view of Iran's threat: If a person (or nation) says he wants to kill you, and is seen working to attain the means to do so, believe him and act accordingly. This we and the Israelis have done. 

Iran's Death to the Great and Little Satans merits our Death to Iran, or at least to those leaders claiming to act on Iran's behalf and to the infrastructure supporting their efforts.

Iran spent 47 years threatening us. Literally scores of other nations which have made no such threats tonight sleep peacefully in their beds. The lesson Iran needs to learn is clear, as voiced by James Brown:

Don't start none, won't be none.
