Feverish Iran-war critics Tuesday seized on Joe Kent’s resignation as national counterterrorism director as somehow proving President Donald Trump was foolish to launch Operation Epic Fury, when in fact Kent’s “I quit” letter proves he never belonged in that high post.
It’s not just that he contradicted his own past positions (e.g., saying Trump should’ve attacked Iran’s weapons programs in 2020) in a letter that now says Iran posed no “imminent threat” and insists Trump went to war two weeks ago “due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
It’s that he bizarrely blamed Israel for the Gulf War (which Ariel Sharon quietly advised against) and even for his own wife’s tragic death in Syria at the hands of ISIS in a campaign begun by Israel-hating President Barack Obama (to clean up the mess created by Obama’s own policies).
