Barbara Lee (D-Ca) is chief sponsor of HR 770, in committee right now, banning covert or military action against Iran without imminent danger.
Barnett Rubin's posts alone would not have convinced me of the seriousness of this threat, and I didn't even see the controversial (and removed) DK diary claiming to be from a military person.
I do read Colonel Patrick Lang's blog, Sic Semper Tyrannis. He is a retired senior officer of U.S. Military Intelligence and U.S. Army Special Forces, former "Defense Intelligence Officer for the Middle East, South Asia and Terrorism," and later the first Director of the Defense Humint Service.
Col. Lang says re attacking Iran: "the train has left the station."
Below the jump: what you can do today to stop this new war.
Call your congresspeople today. (Or if the offices are closed by the time you read this, call them tomorrow, and use today to write a letter you send by snail mail.)
Ask them if they support HR 770. Here is a list of the co-sponsors. Ask them what they plan to do to prevent further escalation and war against Iran.
If you believe that our democracy still has a prayer of working as it is supposed to, and you think this information about the Iran plan is credible, then why don't you contact your representatives as soon as possible?
Congress does have the power to stop this President (and VP). People: demand that Congress act.
