untill US finish all of their postponing deliberations. What do they care being thousands of miles away from the main target:Israel? I think the political play US and others are playing is an assassin play,frankly

... and that cost 20 million lives, 10 years of dispair, 30 years of Cold War, and another 30 years of Neo-Islamic Terrorism and Jihad against the Free World! How much and how many lives are we prepared to sacrifice this time for ANOTHER mistake - this time a NUCLEAR one? What a stupid moron! And to think that he is in charge with running the most potent Army in the world! His comment makes this potent Army into an impotent joke! I hope that his superiors have enough sense to fire him and send him to Teheran as a sex toy for the Ayatollahs!

Is it any wonder that the enemies of the civilized world roll around laughing at night? Holy Ballerina, Batman!

Really! Like it is so calm and happy now. It will never be stabilized. SO sad, but it's the truth.

Even if a strike may destabilize the Middle East, a nuclear Iran will strongly destabilize the Middlle East. As a consequence, the decision is between a certainty and an unlikely probability. This McMullen is a loser.

Our dilemna with Iran couldn't be simpler. The Mad Mullahs have threatened, many times, to destroy Israel. They are now at the final stages of building nuclear bombs. We MUST destroy Iran's nukes and NOW! No appeasement oriented rubbish should be allowed to dissuade us from doing what must be done to protect our sole, tiny Homeland.

The obvious. Unless you have a private understanding with both of them, I don't think China or Russia will ever come around. Although China is the 800 pound economic gorilla in the room, it doesn't always play by so-called international rules. It does what's only good for China. Russia is just as bad or worse. It's playing all kinds of games on Iran, including enabler. Putin seems to get a special delight in thwarting the US. If the US is for it, Putin is against it. What did the US get for dropping missile defense in Poland and Czech Republic? For about five minutes Medvedev(not Putin) was friendlier and more conciliatory in speech. A few head fakes on whether Russia would actually go for sanctions on Iran. That's about it.

Military personel are supposed to stick to military matters not to get involved publicly in influencing political decisions. Either this general is doing so on orders from the defense secretary or he is trying to protect the army from battle orders he fears it is unable to execute with success. In any case, it should rejoice the Ayatollahs to be frequently informed bout the thinking in the Pentagone & in the White House. If they are not yet convinced that they have little to fear then nothing else will short of restoring diplomatic relations.

Of course you would listen to this man. Because the outcome of not doing so would be your aircrafts being shot down on their way to Iran. It's big daddy USA this time,the country that you to big time,the country that funds you and your military is hell bent on. Cut the BS BRAVADO and know your position among nations. You know god damn better than any one that in case the yanks decide to use force against you,you won't be able to do a damn thing about it. Hell,you wont even realize for a long time what hit you.

is destabilized now? How about all the Tyrants, Theocrats, Mullocrats, Unelected Kings who usurped entire countries and Dictators for life "elected" in sham elections, Military Coupes, Islamists, Jihadis, Salafi, Wahabi, Al Qaeda types plotting against each other to topple each other and to take over other countries? How is it possible to destabilize more than that?

has presided over the Joint Chiefs of Staff as the United States' "diplomacy" has spread a small localized military operation into a war stretching across Iraq, Afghanistan, Waziristan, Pakistan and now Yemen. His comments and advice are therefore unsought and unsolicited. In other words -- ignore Mullen. He is a pluperfect idiot.

Instead of the fake existential threat that Israel has been trying to sell for some time now, it's time to focus on the REAL existential threat to Israel: The illegal colonies. Even if Iran had a nuke, the last thing it would do would be to attack Israel. It's a ridiculous thought, and it has always been a ridiculous thought. The US military knows this, top IDF brass knows this, but for political reasons, the average Israeli is not told this. In fact now this comment will probably be censored.

Iran with a bomb deicated to Israels destruction ....or a disrupted nuclear program that is set back several years perhaps permanantly with the possibility of the ire of the islamic community being elevated...????

It is to Israels advantage to destabilise the mideast and bring chaos to its enemies. Israel should seize the saudi oilfields and control the oil, then come to terms with Iran for dividing up the mideast as did the russians and allies in europe. The future is better to be determined by force of war rather than diplomacy, diplomacy will put the jews in the ovens. Israel will gain more from war than peace.

thought scares you then do something about it. but don't expect israel to share your wobbling knees!!

...but it's ok if Israel gets hit ". Thus spake another US "hero of our times"

nuclear weapons is not too stabilizing for the Middle East, either. That is what is about to happen, with all due respect, Admiral Mullen. Read Ezekiel chapter 32 about how a sword of the king of Babylon is going to destroy the multitude (military) and leader of a young lion country's military in the land of the Chaldeans (Iraq). Rabbi Yeshua said there would be signs in the heavens before his return. Messianic Rabbi Mark Biltz found from NASA info that when there is a tetrad of solar and/or lunar eclipses on Jewish Holy Days, that is a sign of war with Israel. Y'hovah delays the wars as long as possible, but the tetrad from 2008 to 2010 is about over; so war is coming to the ME in 2010. Another tetrad follows in 2014 to 2015. IF the New ENPI seven year confirmation of Resolution 666 by the ten nation WEU of the EU is the covenant with death Daniel in the Bible spoke of that was signed in late 2007, then the Great Tribulation is about to start in 2010, about the time President Obama is scheduled to visit Israel, mid 2010. If he declares he is God when he is not, that is the signal the Anti-Christ is on the scene and is 3 and a half years before Armageddon and the return of the Jewish Messiah to rule the earth for a thousand years. It is later than you think, Admiral Mullens. Daniel chapter 8 is a prophecy for the end of the Gentile era, not Alexander the Great. The Grecian (Gentile) he-goat (UN) with a notable horn (USA) comes from the end of the earth (America) and subdues a ram with two horns (Media-Persia). That is your job, Admiral Mullens. The notable horn (USA) will collapse after Iran is subdued, that is true. You will lose your pension and all you have worked for most of your life after winning the war. So plan on getting another job to eat after you retire. You have Ray Mabus as your Navy Secretary. Read what John Hogue has to say about Nostradamus' prophecies of Mabus. He is going to destroy a lot of places in the MIddle East and it must be with nuclear weapons. Why? Because he is going to get mad as hell about something, possible the death of the leader and the young lion nation's multitude in Iraq that Ezekiel chapter 32 warns about. The leader of US forces in Iraq is called Pharoah who is killed and then another Pharoah replaces him and mourns him. Why would the Bible call the leaders of America Pharoahs? America is Manasseh, the son of Joseph's who was half Egyptian. See the Great Pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States. Britain is Ephraim and half it's Great Seal is a Sphinx. Get the US forces out of Iraq before Satan's trap destroys them and that unleashes a fury from the West that destroys many nations who are involved in the attack that are listed in Ezekiel chapter 39. Since a third of the world population is going to die, that sounds like North Korea will attack US forces in the Pacific or hit the West Coast of the USA with nuclear missiles or prepositioned troops with suitcase nukes. China controls North Korea, so the US will have to nuke all of China along with North Korea and the Middle East. That should be about a third of the world's population. THEN the notable horn collapses, possibly from economics unless the EU pays what it owes the USA for the Marshall Plan plus interest. My husband is a retired US Navy officer and is 68 this month and still working full time with no hope of being able to retire from working. Welcome to the world of having to work until you die, like the Pilgrims, to survive. All will be lost, but the Lord only promises food and clothes to His own. Anything more is gravy.

great anger in the West, probably Ezekiel chapter 32's attack on US forces in Iraq by a sword of the king of Babylon on the military of a young lion nation. Look at the nations that will be obliterated in part or entirely as you read on. Persia (Iran), Lebanon (Tyre and Zidon), Togormah (possibly Turkey), Edom (Jordan and all its princes), Syria (Damascus is destroyed), Dedan (Saudi Arabia), Cush (Sudan and Somalia), Libya (all of north Africa), Gomer and Togormah, etc. including Magog. Zephaniah says all the Palestinians (Philistines) on the coasts of Canaan (Israel and Lebanon) will perish. It is horrific to contemplate, but North Korea will attack when Iran is, or so they threaten. China will be behind that, so nuke them to the stone age along with North Korea and all the Muslim nations that are involved in the attacks on US forces in Iraq. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Israel is not going to do the US's dirty work of bombing Iran. That may change, but it is Iranians that are pouring across the border of Iraq near Basra that made it so dangerous there that the British pulled out. Iran and Syria and others fund Hezbollah in Lebanon and Gaza. But Iran calls the US the Great Satan and Israel the Little Satan. War with Iran has to be nuclear and may result in the deaths of over 2.2 billion people as World War III ignites, as the four fallen angels bound in the Euphrates River are loosed to slay a third of mankind. That is inescapable. What must be done is to nuke every enemy of the US on earth before the militarized (hardened) electronics is shut down with HAARP EMP which a few countries have. Hit them before they hit us. Nuclear winter or the nuking of US cities by Iran and other nations that hate us. Nuclear winter is survivable, but nuclear hits are not.

Israel to Strike Iran no no no. To Strike Hizbullah no no no To strike Hamas no no no Settlement Freeze Yes Yes Yes Jerusalem two Capitals Yes Yes Yes. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ALL THESE.

It appears so since Daniel chapter 8 says the notable horn (USA) breaks into four parts and the little horn (Anti-Christ) comes from one of those four parts. You may be working for the Anti-Christ or you may not be. If he is killed and comes back to life with a blind eye and a useless arm, that's your man. A post on YNET from ben Ish suggested Obama could go into the Muslim temple on the Temple Mount and say he is God when he is not. But the Third Temple for the Jews is rebuilt offsite and he could go there and say he is God when he is not. He may say he is the Muslim Mahdi. That is who Louis Farakhan, the head of the radical nation of Islam has said Obama is. Let's hope it is someone else, but be on guard. Admiral Boorda was murdered for having lesser fears about Chinese studying all aspects of US Naval Operations. An Arkancide with four bullets in the chest. Gee, it hurt so bad, he shot himself three more times to be sure he died. Oh, sure. Then the US Naval Academy graduate let the Chinese into all aspects of US Navy Operations since he was such a coward, unlike the seaman to Admiral Boorda who defended the nation against all enemies both foreign and domestic. He would not allow Chinese into US Naval Operations at President Clinton's request, so he was murdered. More cowards in power in the military again who want to live a few more years. Why have a Naval Academy that turns out cowards and traitors by the score?

If your trying to pressure Iran into giving up its nuclear plan then last thing that the Joint Chiefs should be doing is saying hitting Iran will be to destabilizing. Iran is now going to start quoting him and using that against the US. Iran defies sanctions and says nothing you can do to us because military strike is to destabilizing. This admiral & his idiot boss who wants to turn a blind eye to anything muslims do including defending the Fort Hood killer because he was muslim. Air strikes on Iran might destabilize the region short term which will give Obama a diplomatic headache but a nuclear Iran will destabilize the region for good and the world especially as their missiles get more accurate and longer ranges. This is also the one chance that even the US will get to hit Iran. Once they get the S300 air defense system they can shoot down all planes short of the B2 bomber & F22 fighter. The US has carrier fleets on Irans front door right now so it can be a surprise and Iran wants is working on spy sattelittes and once they get them it will make any strike even harder. Sanctions are not working that should be obvious by now and Iran also has Russia & Chinas Security Council vetos in its back pocket. Time is not on the side of the west and we probably have only months before Iran gets a nuke because they have been enriching uranium for a long time now & they have reliable missiles. When is that idiot Obama going to realize that sometimes diplomacy is not the solution?

God...now your ignoring what big daddy USA has to tell you? I wouldn't do that if I were you...Keep in mind this guy(which you wish to ignore)can easily shoot down your planes on their way to iran,should he and his colleagues realize that your acts are putting the whole region(and probably the world) in harms way. around 98% of your military is made up of American hardware. So don't try to fool yourself. Face it baby,if big daddy USA decides to pull the leash,you cant do anything about it.

A Joint Chief of the world's army is afraid. Russia and China are making toasts of US Military not backed with action.

that is nuclear fire if the Israeli Aircraft on the way to Iran above the largest Arb oil fields in the Gulf are informed that they will be shot down by your BIG DADDY and they reply that they carry nuclear payload ready to be dropped over the Arb oil fields what is your BIG DADDY going to do then, risk plunging the world economy into chaos for lack of oil or allow safe passage to to Israeli attack on Iran? one guess please if you think that you are so smart

is this idiot talking again? who asked him?

Obama is been making lots of speeches about his vision of a nuclear weapons free world and wants existing nuclear powers to think about giving up their nukes. At the same time he prefers that Iran gets a nuke then hope that the mullahs will be converted by the president who thinks he was divinely sent and then decide they don't want them anymore. So Obamas real vision seems to be disarm existing and responsible nuclear powers but don't but allow the creation of new ones if it means he cant stop it with a teleprompter.

Once on the ground, the US troops are "dead meat": Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan... and Nicaragua in 1934!!!. Relying on air strikes guarantee NOTHING!!! Iranian facilities are ubiquitous and underground. Iranian response will be scary and decisive.

US can't afford more damage & loses to protect Jewish occupation in Palestine. Let Israel and Iran fight it out and get US troops from the middle.
