Debating the Ex-IDF Spokesman About the War in Iran on Piers Morgan's Show, with Mike Pence

PLUS: I asked the IDF Spokesman if Israel purposely builds its key military and intelligence command centers smack in the middle of residential Tel Aviv. Listen to his answer.

With the war in Iran rapidly expanding into a full-on and increasingly dangerous regional conflagration, I had the opportunity to debate this new war with former IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus. I usually avoid panel discussions at all costs, but when I learned that he would be there — along with former U.S. General and State Department Assistant Secretary of State Mark Kimmitt, Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks, and an Iranian regime-change activist and former Ontario legislator — I immediately said yes. And I’m glad I did.

We produced a video for you where I explain the key passages from that debate and show them to you. Before we began, Morgan interviewed former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who not only voted for the Iraq War and advocated for it for years, but to this day believes it was the right thing to do. Pence also supported President Obama’s disastrous war in Libya, the 20-year war in Afghanistan, and essentially every other war the U.S. has fought or anyone has proposed for the U.S. to fight over the last twenty-five years. What was most striking, as I document, is that Pence — like most current war supporters, especially on Fox News — does not even pretend that he has changed the script he used to sell the American public previous American debacles, including the war in Iraq.

One of the segments I think is most notable is when I asked the former IDF spokesman whether Israel builds its key military and intelligence command headquarters smack-dab in the middle of civilian buildings in the heart of Tel Aviv. My exchanges with General Kimmitt were similarly revealing. The full program, for those who want to watch it, can be seen here. My commentary and analysis are below:
