I agree with most everything he said, except that one statement, and I stand by my assessment of that statement. Generals who want war, should not be allowed to command.

He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
