The national security adviser for former President Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, gave an interview to The Daily Beast in which he suggested President Obama should make it clear to Israel that if they attempt to attack Iran’s nuclear weapons sites the U.S. Air Force will stop them.
“We are not exactly impotent little babies,” Brzezinski said. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch? … We have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a ‘Liberty’ in reverse.”
The USS Liberty was a U.S. Navy technical research ship that the Israeli Air Force mistakenly attacked during the Six Day War in 1967.
Did Brzezinski admit the attack on the Liberty was intentional? How else to explain his statement?
Another solid call from an adult. If you recall he warned against attacking Iraq and preventing Israel from attacking Iran is in our best interests. How, because Iran will collapse under its own weight the Mullahs are on the way out, but that would come to a screatching halt if Israel help unify the Iranians behind a common enemy. Come on Israeli politicians say this shit for domestic consumption. But if they try to strike Iran without permission I say shoot em down.
