Joint Chiefs Chairman Says U.S. Preparing Military Options Against Iran

25/04/08 "Washington Post" -- The nation's top military officer said today that the Pentagon is planning for "potential military courses of action" against Iran, criticizing what he called the Tehran government's "increasingly lethal and malign influence" in Iraq.

Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said a conflict with Iran would be "extremely stressing" but not impossible for U.S. forces, pointing specifically to reserve capabilities in the Navy and Air Force.

"It would be a mistake to think that we are out of combat capability," he said at a Pentagon news conference.

1. More distraction. This is a really massive propaganda effort.

Signalling the degree of failure and their PANIC to keep it out of the News during the election cycle.

If the US military attacks Iran, will they come home?
Will they suffer a complete defeat?
Will aircraft carriers sink?
Will the Green Zone be obliterated?

The USA will not attack Iran because that will be their last stand, just like Custer, and they know it!

2. I most certainly agree with your assessment of the outcome of any

military action against Iran. I just don't think they (the US military leaders) are as intelligent as you are in their realization of what would be the outcome.

The 'dregs' are running the military now. The 'cream of the crop' have been run out.
