Clinton Adviser Proposes Attacking Iran To Aid The Saudis In Yemen
New York Magazine ^ | October 26, 2016 | By Eric Levitz

Michael Morell is a former acting director of the CIA and a national security adviser to Hillary Clinton -- one who is widely expected to occupy a senior post in her administration.

He is also an opponent of the Iran nuclear agreement, a defender of waterboarding, and an advocate for making Russia "pay a price" in Syria by covertly killing Putin's soldiers.

On Tuesday, Morell added another title to that resume: proponent of going to war with Iran, for the sake of securing Saudi Arabia's influence in Yemen.

"Ships leave Iran on a regular basis carrying arms to the Houthis in Yemen," Morell said, in remarks to the Center for American Progress, the liberal think tank founded by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. "I would have no problem from a policy perspective of having the U.S. Navy boarding their ships, and if there are weapons on them, to turn those ships around."

Here’s the plan:

Make Iran a nuclear power.
Then attack Iran and start a big war.

And, while we’re at it, could we have a nuclear war with Russia?
That would be great.

Let’s do it. For the children.

The libtards want to destroy America. How better to accomplish that, than to let the Russians do it. Somehow, these ass holes think they will survive it. I have news for them. They won't.

Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton would start WW3
He is correct again.
He should do a campaign commercial about this.

Morell is the same guy who altered the Benghazi narrative on the night of the attack.

Soros and the Saudis have figured out a way to save a lot of money.

They don’t need to lay out billions of dollars to buy tanks and planes and ships and train Military personnel.

They just spend a few million bucks bribing Democrats.

Hang the traitorous bastards!

This is what we can look forward to if Clinton wins.
More war
More useless war that makes us LESS safe.
