A former CIA senior intelligence official called out Secretary of State Marco Rubio on national TV on Monday morning for not taking part in the Iran war talks as Donald Trump is ramping up threats to the country’s infrastructure and troops are poised for a land invasion.Appearing on MS NOW with host Anna Cabrera, the normally unflappable Marc Polymeropoulos grew agitated that Rubio has ceded the State Department’s mission to real estate developers Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff at Donald Trump’s direction.With the possibility of a hot war expanding in the Middle East, the 26-year veteran of the CIA insisted Rubio needs to step up and increase his involvement beyond making appearances on TV and running interference for the president’s impetuous attack on Iran.Speaking with the host he stated, “So, you know, there is the idea of, well, perhaps, you know, Trump is kind of getting bored with this. There's been a lot of reporting on that. But the actual kind of foundations of the diplomatic talks, you know, the sides are so far apart. If they're talking, I guess it's a good thing, but I don't think there's any hope.”“Even regardless of who the US negotiating team, whether it's Witkoff, Kushner, or Vice President Vance, the other part, Anna, to raise is where's Marco Rubio? He's the secretary of state and the national security adviser. He is the actual natural person to be involved in this and he is totally absent from the scene.” - YouTube youtu.be

"It'll draw out the Iranians, and maybe we can kill the Persians easier. Use them as bait. I don't give a damn. I don't want to use American kids. Let's use theirs. If you got nuclear fairy dust over there, you got to get."Bannon noted that suggestions that ground troops be sent into Iran to obtain nuclear material were the "latest thing" to escalate the war."We got nuclear fairy dust you got to get," he mocked. "Well, send the IDF in there. They got all the special forces... Let them go get the nuclear fairy dust.""Tel Aviv and our Arab and our great Arab allies who still have not committed to the to, understand something, they have not committed to this war yet," he added.
