Tillerson pursuing Israeli foreign policy: ex-CIA officer

A: No. Everything the West is doing serves Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Wall Street, which desperately wants a war in the Middle East to both drive the price of oil up -- Goldman Sachs made some bad bets on oil futures -- and to secure the oil under the Golan Heights that belong to yria. Apart from being unenforceable, the sanctions represent the complete idiocy of the U.S. Government. There is no grand strategy, no mature focus on all ten high-level threats to humanity among which proliferation is number eight, a complete collapse of intelligence (decision-support) and a total lack of integrity.
