‘A whole civilization will die tonight’ is not something that should ever be said by someone holding the nuclear codes.
How is it possible that anyone is defending this rhetoric?
It’s just wrong, period.
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.
