Gen. Jack Keane just dropped a truth bomb this morning on FOX:
Our intelligence services know the Pakistani and Qatari mediators “are compromised because they favor Iran at the expense of the United States.” They have misled the Trump administration about Tehran’s real intentions.
Then Keane went after Saudi Arabia. He cited four instances of Saudi influence pulling the president back from wider military action. When the U.S. was ready to open the Strait forcibly, the Saudis denied us their airbase and airspace and actively discouraged the operation - even though they "knew nothing about the details of that operation, nor are they qualified to make that kind of an assumption."
Keane's blunt assessment? They "are not willing to sacrifice" (causalities and damage to their oil reserves) "to rid the Middle East region of Iran's aggression ... They're willing for us to make that sacrifice for sure. They're willing for Israel to make that sacrifice for sure."
This is the thanks America gets for putting the Kingdom under a nuclear and security umbrella since World War II.
Keane’s bottom line: “I think it is shameful that they lack the spine to stand up for their people and the region.”
