Mike Morell’s Kill-Russians Advice by By Ray McGovern
Exclusive: Washingtons foreign policy hot shots are flexing their rhetorical, warmongering muscles to impress Hillary Clinton, including ex-CIA acting director Morell who calls for killing Russians and Iranians, notes ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.

Perhaps former CIA acting director Michael Morells shamefully provocative rhetoric toward Russia and Iran will prove too unhinged even for Hillary Clinton. It appears equally likely that it will succeed in earning him a senior job in a possible Clinton administration, so it behooves us to have a closer look at Morells record.
My initial reaction of disbelief and anger was the same as that of my VIPS colleague, Larry Johnson, and the points Larry made about Morells behavior in the Benghazi caper, Iran, Syria, needlessly baiting nuclear-armed Russia, and how to put a scare into Bashar al-Assad give ample support to Larrys characterization of Morells comments as reckless and vapid. What follows is an attempt to round out the picture on the ambitious 57-year-old Morell.
I suppose we need to start with Morell telling PBS/CBS interviewer Charlie Rose on Aug. 8 that he (Morell) wanted to make the Iranians pay a price in Syria.
make the Russians pay a price in Syria.
Rose: We make them pay the price by killing Russians?
Morell: Yeah.
Rose: And killing Iranians?
Morell: Yes
You dont tell the world about it.
But you make sure they know it in Moscow and Tehran.
