This man, Bob Baer, was on the news talking about the evils of Iran.  Something about him really seemed to be off (possibly the blonde streaks in his hair) so I looked into him.  Turns out this man was once a CIA agent who was involved with trying to overthrow Saddam, and he was even implicated in an assassination plot on the man.  "Baer quit the Agency in 1997 and received the CIA's Career Intelligence Medal on March 11, 1998".  Now this guy is talking about how dangerous Iran is and even writing fictional stories which he claims are based on his true experiences in the CIA to show how evil the muslims are.

Bob Baer has only written anti-muslim propaganda as far as I can tell and none of his books came out before 2002.  None of his films were made before 2003.  Is this man still working for the CIA?  I'm in search for more information on this guy because I believe he could be a significant piece of the puzzle.

Why would a government try to overthrow Iraq and Iran? Iraq was the only country to have a war with Iran.  What makes these areas so important besides the scattered claims that it's about oil? Oil could be a reason but it seems a little too obvious.  Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Syria seem to be important targets for whoever is running the show, but for what reason?  Are these countries the objective or just a step towards the main objective?

Once CIA always CIA.  It's like the Mafia you just cannot simply retire and write tell all books.

Just like I do not trust Bob Barr as far as I can throw him.
