Ret. Republican Col said, "I know what my party wants, and they want WAR."

Republican Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson appeared on The Ed Show where he spoke about President Obama's unprecedented agreement with Iran. Wilkerson, unlike most Republicans and quite a number of Democrats, was able to see what the agreement if fulfilled would mean.

"Yes, they will start a war FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF MAKING PROFITS"

Yes, they will, they have, remember Iraq?

It is a twofer in their minds, profit like thieves and eliminate the evil people who look and sound different than us.

I've never read anything of his or ever heard him say anything over the years which would indicate that he is a Republican. There once was a time when more progressive minded people like Margaret Chase Smith, John Lindsay, Nelson Rockefeller and Millicent Fenwick could call the GOP home. Those days ended abruptly during the era of Reagan.

Anything I have ever heard or read from Colonel Wilkerson has supported our side. I have never heard him support a single Republican idea.

It has a much deeper intent than simply war. The big picture with right-wing rethugs is bringing about the end times so they can go live in never-neverland with their Sky Daddy. It is and always has been about one thing:
DOOMSDAY POLITICS.
