Once more, Israel wants America to obey their orders to destroy our world.

Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had been worrying aloud that Israel might force our United States into a war with Iran. He appears worried that the Israeli leaders have not taken his earlier warnings seriously, despite his unusually strong language. Upon arrival In Jerusalem, Mullen wasted no time in clarifying why he had come: He insisted publicly that an attack on Iran would be a "big, big, big problem for ALL of us, and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences." No strike, however effective, will be, in and of itself, decisive." Admiral Mullen served, as I did, in the Vietnam War, an he commented that "War is bloody and uneven. It's messy and ugly and incredibly wasteful." He underscored time and time again that war with Iran would be a far greater disaster. Those who are familiar with the military, strategic, and economic consequences at stake know that he is right! Mullen does not believe that a "preventive war" against Iran would be worth the horrendous human cost. Mullen, for his part, is acutely aware that the Constitution he has sworn to defend makes no provision for the kind of war we might be sucked into to defend Israel: The US has NO legal obligation to defend Israel if it ignites a war with Iran!!
