Again urging the nation to take another crack at diplomacy, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen warned against any attack of Iran.
The attack, Admiral Mullen cautioned, would be “very, very destabilizing” to the Middle East, and could have a series of unintended consequences across the region. The US has repeatedly threatened to attack Iran if it does not abandon its nuclear program.
The admiral is one of several officials and analysts that have warned against such an attack, with many emphasizing that the growing reformist movement would be basically forced back to supporting the government if war broke out.
The US had originally sought another round of sanctions against Iran this month, but the Chinese government has rejected the call and it now appears this move won’t even be debated in the UN Security Council. The US has accused Iran’s civilian nuclear program of hiding secret nuclear weapon ambitions, but has failed to produce any concrete evidence to back this up. In the meantime, the IAEA has repeatedly certified that none of Iran’s uranium has been diverted to any non-civilian use.
Mullen is attempting to quiet the beat of war drums in his own ranks. Led by Cheney and Rumsfeld and others including their fair-haired boy, David Petraeus (now being groomed for the presidential campaign in 2012) the neocons agitate the troops for the war to link up US forces in Iraq with the US and NATO forces in Afghanistan – Iran. This madness is the driving force in Israeli politics and on the American far-right dominated by Neocons, Christian-Zionists, the US National Socialist Party (Nazis) and the Ku Klux Klan. This movement recently enjoyed the wholehearted endorsement of Billy Graham who laid his hands on Sarah Palin to bless her campaign for the presidency against Obama.
""The attack, Admiral Mullen cautioned, would be “very, very destabilizing” to the Middle East, and could have a series of unintended consequences across the region."" Well, well, well, it looks like Admiral Mullet might have gotten something right for a change.
Mullen needs to resign his commission and move to Israel and join the Israeli Navy – he is a complete idiot whose only loyalty is to Israel. General Peter Pace was quickly let go as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs – seems that he had a brain and that he was loyal to America – he also was a good Marine and too honest. Our armed forces now are filled with politicians managing their careers with NO regard for the troops.
the entire Staff of American Generals are loyal only to Israel. otherwise there would be no room for advancement for any of them. it is a shame that the American Army is entirely under Israeli control.
they are using American Blood to establish control over the Middle East under the Banner of bringing Democracy. Israel does not care that the USA is going bankrupt in the process. america , wake up.
Great observation admiral. Do you think it was stabilizing to invade Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen and whoever else stands in the way of empire? We'll run out of money(and credit) before we can "make the world safe for democracy". Has the destabilizing result on the United States dawned on you yet? Duh.
What "local reformist movement"?
You mean the terrorists funded and armed by the CIA?
Get real – all the problems in the middle east have been caused by Isreal and its "lackey"states – The USA and Britain.
sounds good to me.
