TWO HUNDRED Retired U.S. Generals and Admirals Just Did THIS!!!!
Nearly 200 retired US generals, admirals and former political officials have come out strongly against the Iran nuclear accord, and have called upon Congress to sink the aon the grounds that it will “enable Iran to become far more dangerous.” Many of the signatories served in the White House, under Democratic administrations as well as Republican. The only thing they appear to have in common is that they consider the Iran nuclear deal a threat to U.S. interests in the region and its own national security. Retired Admirals and Generals are still subject to the UCMJ and do not speak their opinions on political matters without some risk. Speaking out against the Commander in Chief could be a big no no. So when you have 200 opposing the C in C, that is significant.

Huckabee’s Spin on Iran
Huckabee’s statement that the nuclear deal “lets Iran do their own inspections” is at the very least in dispute. And, because he didn’t make clear what part of the nuclear deal he was talking about, viewers could have easily been left with the false impression that he was talking about all inspections. That would be wrong.

Weather inversion lifting above NCW fires
The weather inversion was lifting Wednesday afternoon over wildfires burning in North Central Washington. That meant that helicopters should be able to fly to drop water on the fires, but it also means fire activity will increase, officials said. Winds, however, remained calm as of late afternoon on Wednesday. Wildfires burned up another 55,000 acres of ground across North Central Washington on Tuesday as firefighters scrambled to keep them away from communities.
