1. Hersh is just pissed we won't be getting the Iran war he's been predicting for over a decade

The nuclear agreement hurt his bottom line.

He's mad that that he can't make any more money off his bogus Iran predictions and he's lashing out.

2. How ironic if events prove him right, but just a little late - after the next election.

regardless of which party wins.

Apparently there are number of Democrats and Republicans and Members of the Knesset and the Saudi Royal family who can't abide the "nuclear agreement." So, when it isn't implemented, that provides the excuse to bombs away.

Congratulations, isn't it nice to be proven prematurely wrong?

Remember when Netanyahu was over here speaking to Congress druming up support agains and Iran Deal? He threatened that Israel would take Iran into it's own hands if the Iranian Deal went through?

Sy has his sources who were probably trying to stop a coordinated US/Israel strike on Iran. With all the problems with Syria, MENA and NeoCons gone wild in Ukraine...there is another Power in the USA who doesn't agree and that's probably SY's Sources.

The US Military isn't Monolithic...YET...there are always dissenting views in Government. We just haven't seen much of it in the past couple of decades. But, it's always there and when crazies take over a re-balancing occurs .....IF we are So Lucky

4. Sy Hersh is just making shit up

He was just on MSNBC, and of course was treated like a rock star by Chris Hayes, and he talked of his sources but would not name them. Chris said he understood.

Andrea Mitchell just said she has seen nothing to show the administration was lying about the raid. She even says there may have been a walk in who gave them information but that does not show there was not a courier who gave them information as well.

It's obvious that Hersh hates this White House and this president.
