The question is, then, whose objectives define success and whose objectives decide when this ends?
Joaquin Castro@JoaquinCastrotx
Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, confirmed that Israel has different objectives in the war in Iran than the U.S. This is a serious admission. Entering a war alongside an ally with different goals threatens our ability to achieve peace.

Given the horrific destruction that Israel’s extremist government has wrought on Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, the last thing in the world American taxpayers need to do right now is to provide 22,000 new bombs to the Netanyahu government.
No more weapons to support an illegal war.

Josh Paul from @ANewPolicyOrg here - This is false, and @AP is correct. Per my own State Department contacts, among the jobs cut by @SecRubio last year were: 6 people working on countering violent extremism, 9 others working on counterterrorism, 5 people from the Middle East (NEA) Bureau, over 150 people working on consular support for Ameircans overseas, and almost 70 from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the agency responsible for protecting our Embassies. I've talked to many of them - it didn't make sense then, and it certainly doesn't now.

As we told @AP ahead of time, this story is not based in reality, but they wouldn't be deterred by the facts. We gave them detailed responses, but instead, they relied on vague and inaccurate criticism from unnamed or outside sources. Here is some of what we provided:

In the only Sde Teiman case investigated, with video evidence and a Palestinian detainee left with severe injuries, including rectal damage, the charges were dropped. It’s only that Sde Teiman is a torture camp. We know this from the soldier testimonies we have collected 🧵

To the pro-Israel hawks upset at me bc Joe Kent is listing Israel's influence in this war as part of his rationale: Might I suggest the President and Secretary of State stop talking about Israel's influence on getting into this war and offer another rationale that is even remotely plausible that justifies American troop deaths & a $100 billion taxpayer commitment.
Tim Miller@Timodc
Have talked a lot of shit about Joe Kent over the years (deserved) and can't speak to all of his motivations here but I gotta say its pretty refreshing to see that someone in the administration has a red line on something.

Joseph Kent, a top counterterrorism official under Trump, just resigned.
Kent and I don't agree on much, but he is right:
"Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

@joekent16jan19 @RepDean @RepGregoryMeeks @StateDeptPM @RepBrianMast @HouseForeign @HouseForeignGOP @RepSaraJacobs @DeptofWar @RepAndyBarr @RepJayapal Randy Fine (R-FL) asks why we send arms to Turkey citing, among other factors, comments by @RTErdogan that are critical of Israel and the actions of the IDF. But he directs his questions to the wrong person - DSCA's Mike Miller rather than State Dept's Stan Brown - Miller dodges.

"This was the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous war with Iraq" - US head of counterterrorism resigns with a warning to @POTUS
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

"...Israel’s interests are not America’s — and its war with Iran should not be our war. It is well past time for our nation to question our unconditional support to Israel, and to put American interests first.”
