We've sought inspiration before
It's getting late in the game and if Bibi promised a popular revolution following the bombing campaign he lied. I don't know if we've eliminated all of Irans submarines - but do know what a torpedo might do if it hits the missile pack on a Burke.
So I send this note...
Dear Mr. President,
I daily pray for you to be Inspired in your leadership. I understand the situation you face in Iran better than most. I was on the first, and 11 of the first 13, Earnest Will escort missions as the embarked commander's Intel and Air Ops officer. I was 500 yards behind Bridgeton when it struck the mine, and just south of the straits when Vincennes shot down the Airbus and killed 290 civilians.
As you must know the consequences of so many men (and regrettably some women) in close proximity, all with explosives and confusion, are never as planned. The picture of the innocent Iranians on drag hooks being pulled from the Gulf should be on the wall in the sitroom.
The power grid target set for Iran is as old as Reagan's inauguration. I know that because I was also a flight officer in the Air Wing of one of the 3 carriers that would have commenced bombardment had the hostages not been released. So, most of my career, and the brutal injury sustained by my son from an IED in Afghanistan - in part from the Mullah's export of terror expertise and tactics, should have me argue emotionally to turn Iran into rubble ... but ... you are contemplating a measure of total war, a war against a population not fully responsible for their leadership Mr President. The Mullahs were greeted largely as result of our CIA and MI6's coup - but they haven't been popularly legitimized by the population in my memory.
The greatest credible threat from Iran is North Korean nukes paid for by the Iranians showing up in container boxes NYC and San Francisco harbor. There was a reason they were funding Kim's program and attend the tests. You made no apparent effort to eliminate Quds and Hizballah elements from our cities before joining Bibi's jihad. Are you adequately preparing for the attacks on our infrastructure, our cities if total war is commenced?
Listen for God voice Mr President - and He doesn't speak thru Paula White or Hagee. I have faith in you, and in God and His benevolence if you seek His guidance.
God bless you and Melania. And may He see Susie is free of cancer soon too! (an old Jacksonville acquaintance)
