Despite providing no new evidence to the contrary, US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen says he “doesn’t believe for a second” that Iran’s nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, and reiterated that the US is considering attacking Iran over it.
“We’ve actually been thinking about military options for a significant period of time,” Mullen insisted. Indeed the US has been threatening to attack Iran off and on for years, usually citing the civilian nuclear program as a justification.
The threat comes just weeks after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admonished the US regarding Iran, saying that they needed to threaten to attack Iran much more often than they had been in recent months. The US had publicly rejected the call, saying they threaten Iran enough at present, but such a new, high profile threat suggests they may still be on the rise.
It also comes just a week before the planned P5+1 talks with Iran, which are supposed to be a meaningful effort involving US diplomats to kick-start talks designed to prevent a war with Iran. Timing the threat like this may suggest the talks aren’t going to amount to much.
WTF is goin on…….Two senseless wars not enough…???????
Imagine some general or admiral in another country publicly saying that "they are thinking about attacking America"? And just saying it so matter of factly?
Two wars for the U.S.! That's small cheese. Got to keep those armament factories working 24/7!
Mullen is typical of the retarded Pentagon top brass. Their tiny minds are filled with Terminator movies, they don't get out of bed unless they can plan a war somewhere or massacre civilians by the score.
Why are these mindless creeps pulling strings? They are unelected. They are deranged. They've never heard of the word 'PEACE.'
It's time we treated war as an act of mindless savagery and those who contribute to it as scum. It's time we recast ourselves, got away from our primitive past, became noble creatures who demonstrate some intelligence.
Condemn war. Treat those who engage in it with contempt!

After all the babbling about Iranian nukes, the people touting the risks have yet to produce a single shred of evidence to back up their assertions. You'd think these people would have learned a hard lesson from the Iraq WMD fiasco.
On the other hand, maybe they don't care if there's evidence. Maybe they know it's all bunk. There's much profit to be made by the merchants of death and their blood-sucking lobbyists. And the Pentagon can increase its budget killing more brown-skinned people thousands of miles away. We even hear idiotic "economists" stating that a war would spur economic growth here at home!
These people are very sick. They need to be removed from power before they kill us all. Let's start with Admiral Mullen.
Hey, didn't you get the message from brother Broder in the Wash. Post ? We need at least another war to 'keep the economy going'. War makes America rich. Without war we would all be in another depression. Apparently that's the lesson we learned from WWII. Only war can save us.
This is precisely the main characteristic of Bizarro world: war is peace and lies are facts.
Admiral Mullen (Moron) should be sent to Guantanamo.
You know.. if Admiral Mullen was to take himself out.. there wouldn't be a problem to resolve… In fact the world would be so much better for it..
Maybe the U.S. needs to thrteaten to bomb Israel?
What is the chance that Russia and China will just sit back and let an attack on Iran happen? Iran IS one of Russia's and Chin's main trading partners and they both have nuclear weapons. America will lose HARD and forever. We will be sitting ducks. We need to get busy routing out the parasites that have infested the USA.
Don't fool yourself if you think Russia's bureaucratic self-serving Government will lift a finger to help Iran if Iran is attacked by the US. Russia's Government is not even supporting Russia's own national interests.
I can not speak for China, but I can say that the only interests that Russian bureaucrats have in Iran are related to how much money the Iranians are willing to pay. When the US ordered Russia to stop selling Military technology to Iran – Russian companies stopped selling Military technology to Iran. Russia's Government is pro-West, for domestic PR reasons they pretend to be mildly critical of the US – but they have yet to take any real actions that actually prevent the US from expanding its global dominance.
I disagree with your assessment. Russia is not 'pro-west' (accepting American hegemony). I could argue that China and Russia would best be served by doing nothing but sit back and watch America exhaust itself, squandering more men and money on yet another futile war. Often doing nothing is the best strategy.

It would be a stretch to think Mullen can think for himself on this matter. It’s a escalation of rhetoric requested by Netanyahu.
Admiral Mullen issues a routine threat against a sovereign nation, just like Hitler and the OKW before World War II started (and afterwards, of course). In the meantime, the peace-loving nations of the world focus on feeding their citizens, providing health care for all, educating their young and staying out of foreign entanglements, wars, etc.
I have my doubts as to whether an American version of the Kreisau Circle would form if the Pentagon Brass and the People in Power force the hand of the Armed Forces and drag the war machine across the Persian Gulf into an evil, illegal, immoral and indefensible war. There is a small group called Military Officers for 9/11 Truth, mainly composed of O-5 and O-6s that challenge the official version of events on 9/11 (and therefore the justification for all of these wars in the Middle East), but it seems that the People in Power will do anything to launch the full might of the US military against Iran.
I am convinced, as are others, that attacking Iran will spell the end of the United States. The only fate I envision for our country is the depiction of the US in the novel The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. What goes around comes around, which is what was said in The Bible ('He that lives by the sword, dies by the sword). Why all the Bible reading people in the US never talk about how our country lives by the sword is beyond me. I suppose some do, but the media hierarchy doesn't give them a platform.
The number of innocent people killed by the American CIA and military defies description. No other country has been as aggressive as we have since 1945. We are trying to shoot our way to peace (or bleed others on the way to world domination), and it is not going to work.
If I were a young person, I would be leaving the USA right about now. The Japanese and German leadership in the 1930s and early 1940s doubtless believed they were invincible and immune to enemy retaliation; the American Pentagon, CIA and Congress of today are no different.
