‘Kill Russians and Iranians, threaten Assad,’ says ex-CIA chief backing Clinton

Former CIA deputy director Michael Morell, who supports Hillary Clinton and insists that Donald Trump is being manipulated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, said that Russians and Iranians in Syria should be killed covertly to “pay the price.”
The ex-CIA chief, who worked with Clinton while she was secretary of state, told PBS host Charlie Rose that Iran and Russia should “pay a big price” in Syria – and by that he meant killing them.
“When we were in Iraq, the Iranians were giving weapons to the Shia militia who were killing American soldiers,” Morell said. “The Iranians were making us pay a price.”
“We need to make the Iranians pay a price in Syria, we need to make the Russians pay a price,” he continued.
When asked if that meant killing Russians and Iranians, Morell fully agreed, qualifying the answer with “covertly.”
“Tell the world about it, right?” he went on. “You don’t stand up at the Pentagon and say ‘we did this,’ but you make sure they know it in Moscow and Tehran.”
Referring to the US-backed rebels in Syria, Morell said he wanted Washington to support them in more aggressive actions, not only against Bashar Assad’s government, but against Iranians and Russians.
Morrell then went on a diatribe about how the US should “scare” Assad, including going after his national guard and “bombing his offices in the middle of the night.”
“I’m not advocating assassinating him, I’m advocating going after what he thinks is his power base and what he needs to survive. I want to put pressure on him, I want to put pressure on the Iranians, I want to put pressure on the Russians to come to that diplomatic settlement.”
The former acting director of the CIA publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton last week through an opinion piece in the New York Times, praising her qualifications as commander-in-chief and calling her rival Donald Trump a threat to national security.
After he retired from the CIA in August 2013, Morrell took a job at Beacon Global Strategies, a Washington, DC consultancy founded by Clinton aides Philippe Reines and Andrew Shapiro. There he worked with Leon Panetta, another Clinton aide and his predecessor at the helm of the CIA, who also spoke in support of Clinton at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia last month.
Last year, Morrell apologized to “every American” and finally owned up to the “mistakes” made by the CIA in Iraq, where over 4,000 US soldiers and at least 250,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed since the 2003 US invasion.Comment -

So society holds the same degree of sanctity for a everyday persons life compared to a president??
Not only that but from what I gathered he was talking about taking out a genocidal fruitcake and those who murder for him..
So yeah, facing facts must really be difficult indeed...Comment -
Clinton and Obama during this last term made the world a very dangerous and unsafe place to live in today.. Europe is in real trouble like I've never seen since the WW2 era......
Nothing more needs to be said... Gotta be nuts to vote for Hillary...Comment -
Is Russia murdering for him too? As far as know, Russia is the only country in the World, who had the balls to go to Syria 10 months ago and completely turn the tide of this war with ISIS. This clown is just mad that we killed his 10 trained resistance rebels, that he spent 500M on.
If anything, this ungrateful donkey should be standing on all fours right about now and kissing Putin's cowboy boots (The ones the George gave him as a present back in the day).Comment -
Come on Mitt!!!!

Why don't facts matter to trump supporters ? You keep insisting that obama is the problem with iraq. Bush initiated the date for the pull out. Obama tried to stay in iraq but was told the only way we could stay was if our troops went under sharia law. You stated obama started isis but it has been proven that the person who founded isis was released by w to pakistan. At first the right blamed him until they realized bush gave the guy to pakistan. Isis is nothing more than saddam's praetorian guard. Same religion and 3 of top 5 guys were high up in saddam's guard. If you want to say syria than i'll agree with that. But what is ironic is pence was a leader in us going to syria. He was one of the most vocal people into going into syria saying we should of went in sooner.Comment -

Are you still making money by blowing people? That is the only thing that you would have more knowledge than I. I have destroyed you so many times but your just too stupid to realize it. I tried to tell you what caused the housing crises but you disagreed with me. But they made a movie proving me right. I said that w was implicit in the cover up by saudi arabia in 911 but you denied it. Than when they started releasing things you tried to act like it was your idea. You are a fraud and have to be one of the most ignorant posters on this site. You get abused on a regular basis by toler,kracken and khicks but your like that kid that always get sent to the corner for speaking to your elders. The worst part is the next time your right will be the first time your right! The worst part is that you told me to tell a woman that is charge of jobs and family services that you knew her job better than her . One that she has done for 30 years. Also the reublican party agrees with her. But you are the almighty brooksie. Gtfooh aliceLast edited by chico2663; 08-09-16, 08:53 PM.Comment -

How can someone who has wore the colors, is against abortion(although i don't think it is my right to tell a woman what to do with their body) ,have a shitload of guns and believe in capital punishment be a liberal. Shows what an idiot you are because I talk about gun rights all the time. I just don't believe that idiots such as yourself should be able to own a high powered rifle. I believe you must of been in military to have one because you are giving a shit load of training with that type of weapon. Just shooting a few times down at the gun range doesn't give you enough time with the weapon.Comment -

This is how most sane people feel about christians
You guys are the most naive group of suckers around
Just be sure to give your 10% on Sunday so your pastor can skim
Identifying as a christian will one day be a mental illness, and rightfully so.
Grow up, clown, this isn't a fairy taleComment
