I agree with much of what he says. The most important is the fact that the US is not going to pursue any military action against Iran on behalf of Israel.  It just ain't gonna happen.  Thank God Bush and Cheney are gone though.  Bush might have held some restraint but Cheney would drop the hammer on Iran in a heartbeat.  Is he in jail yet?  I'd like to go visit him. :-)

Robert Baer is one of the most prolific, talented, and insightful writers of our time. He is intelligent and seems to share his true opinion, regardless of politics. His agenda is...the truth.

BAER...You are fabulous.
