US intelligence official Joe Kent quits over Trump's war in Iran

[Superbadbrutha]

WASHINGTON − The head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center resigned March 17, saying he “cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” the first top Trump administration official to quit over the conflict.

Joe Kent, a decorated former Army Ranger and CIA paramilitary officer, was a top aide to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who oversaw all U.S. counter-terrorism efforts in the U.S. and overseas.

“Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent wrote in a letter to President Donald Trump, who nominated him for the top U.S. counterterrorism job on Feb. 3, 2025.

Let's see how many folks attack this man and claims he doesn't know what he is talking about.

We're better off without him.

 

[Captain Creeper]

He is just mad that we are bombing a bunch of queers.

 

[Darkwind]

So, a person who was tasked with fighting terrorism has resigned when we neutralize the largest exporter of terrorism in the world.

Trump started a war for no good reason… that he doesn’t understand and does not know how to get out of

 

[Superbadbrutha]

We're better off without him.

Are we?

Or created more of it.

Trump started a war for no good reason

Iran started the way … The President is simply finishing it … brilliantly

Iran started the way … The President is simply finishing it … brilliantly

Iran did not start the “way”

Trump did and everyone knows it

 

[scruffy]

Iran did not start the “way”

Trump did and everyone knows it

Iran's Mullahs started it when they kidnapped 400 Americans.

NOT ONE American president had the guts to call them on it, until Donald Trump.

The Democrats even pulled a full-on Chamberlain appeasement and sent the enemy planeloads of cash.

Democrats made the problem worse, and now Trump and the Republicans have to fix it.

You're not expected to like it, and no one cares if you don't. Iran is pissing away its offensive and defensive capabilities, and in a few days there won't be anything left of the leadership. Problem solved

Why? Explain why.

Why? Explain why.

If he can't work for his boss and he feels compelled to upstage him, GTFO.

That sissy boy hairdo is almost enough to get him arrested. He obviously spends too much time in the mirror.
