Former CIA officer: US to attack Iran within 6 months...
Fox News asked former CIA field officer Bob Baer on Tuesday whether the US is "gearing up for a military strike on Iran." Baer has written a column for Time indicating that Washington officials expect an attack within the next six months.

"I've taken an informal poll inside the government," Baer told Fox. "The feeling is we will hit the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps." His Time column also suggested that "as long as we have bombers and missiles in the air, we will hit Iran's nuclear facilities."'

7. it's not that there's nothing to impeach him on
It's that there are not enough VOTES to convict and remove him with!
People conveniently forget WE DO NOT HAVE A MAJORITY IN THE SENATE!

We have a False Majority. 49:49:+2. We are barely hanging in there. my GOD it's a miracle that we have gotten ANYTHING PASSED! Please be patient. I KNOW it was a insanely stupid thing to say openly, that impeachment was off the table. But the annoying reality is that it could not be On the table for some time....that having been said, there's nothing wrong with investigating the ever living FUCK out of these assholes. I want to know what they've had for snacks every day for the last 30 years!!!!

We'll show them NOT TO ABUSE the special prosecutor law... but then again... congress would need a spine even to do that. The hearings feel like they are from breaking points, not from actual interest in protecting the American public... >sigh<

11. I seem to recall that a strike on Iran was said to be "imminent" about a year ago.
I hope this prediction is mistaken, too.

12. The Ritter Unit is the equivalent of the Freidman Unit
We are always going to attack Iran in six months. In fairness Ritter may not be the one to ascribe this to. Perhaps it is the Hersh Unit.
