Heading to Israel today, Defense Secretary Ash Carter once again talked up the idea of the US, having reached a nuclear deal with Iran, just up and attacking Iran out of nowhere, saying that’s one of the best things about the nuclear deal.
“One of the reasons this deal is a good one is that it does nothing to prevent the military option,” Carter insisted, saying the US and Israel could “agree to disagree” about the merits of the plan, but that the planning for an aggressive war against Iran would continue.
Carter’s comments were largely the same as the ones he made Tuesday, the day the nuclear deal was reached. He insisted then that the US has tens of thousands of soldiers in the region and would keep moving military assets along the Iranian frontier to facilitate a future strike.
Carter’s comments are seen, at least in part, as trying to placate Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, whose objections seem to center around the pact getting in the way of his decades of agitating for war against Iran. It does, however, add to international mistrust of the US in the wake of the deal, and whether they’re going to either renege on the pact or launch a unilateral war out of nowhere for no reason at all.
The man is a lunatic.
Even worse. He's our lunatic.
Even worse yet the whole country is lunatic.
His actions will only give ISIS a bigger playing yard…..
Which will in turn give us all more refugees and more Muslims at unnatural rates and with even more extreme views.
people don't understand yet the importance of a peaceful middle east.
and it is all done to please israel.
Oh, Ash. Man up already and stop saying any old crap to please israel.
So says the Presidents highest ranking chickenhawk…
Ash-hole Carter is a psycho.
sit down you Zionist warmonger dog!
It may be to placate Bibi's lapdogs on Capitol Hill…one can only hope.
War is peace again.
Perhaps Iran should reply that "ALL. OPTIONS. ARE. ON. THE. TABLE!!!!!".
Iran should reply "One of the reasons this deal is a good one is that it does nothing to prevent a mutual defense pact with Russia."
Carter, another Mossadnik!!!
When did being a fool become a prerequisite for high office in the pentagon?
Look who (in particular, the "antiwar" presidential candidates – Paul, Sanders) approved/voted for this Dr. Strangelove, and keep the list : http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_l…
Carter had doubt . But his Israeli handlers told him not to worry . He was tutored by Israelis to respond to any charges of incitement against him by saying " Iran say death to Israel and all those stuff"
This guy is campaigning for SecDef 2017.
Scrap steel — Mangled bodies
Having known what it’s like to fight a losing battle, having served three years in the Vietnam War, I would hope that Ash Carter be not such a glory hound as to turn so many of our troops into ash. Because, just for starters, within 24 hours of such an attack everything owned by the U.S. government within 500 miles of Iran would be turned into scrap steel and mangled bodies.
He looks like an idiot.
It's all revenge for schoolyard taunting;"hey cross eyes".
JULY 20, 2015 Concentration Camps in America? by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11 repressive laws transformed America into a police state. US prisons already overflow with political and other unjustly incarcerated victims. It's a short leap to filling concentration camps with dissidents – anyone publicly opposing America run by monied interests and warlords, governed lawlessly, waging endless wars of aggression abroad, persecuting its own people, leaving anyone potentially vulnerable to abuse.

Iran doesn't nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, which everyone has, will do just fine.
So why is the Obama-Ash Carter clique in such a hurry to bomb Iran? Running out of time for all that cakewalk glory?
Coming up next. Defense Secretary Ash Carter endorses Donald Trump for president.
That would be the ticket. Small-time business Hitlers on parade? I can happen.
This is nutty enough to require some serious "explanation" walking it back. So, Obama, where is it?
Who is this Ash-hole?!
This guy should be in a straitjacket sitting in a Nut House not the Pentagon.
What the hell are you Americans doing?
If these are the people Obama surrounds himself with that says a lot…
Wow, aren't we the diplomats. The deal is a "good one" because we can still honor the agreement all the while planning for our eventual assault. Nice.
Imagine if the Iranians had said what Carter has just done. Is there noone in the MSM willing to strip the BS and call out this hypocrisy?
