Attack on Iran's nuclear facilities 'worries' US admiral

By GottaLaff

I can't think of a worse idea than attacking Iran. Aside from the "unintended consequences", how about our already-stretched-paper-thin military? How about getting into something worse than the current messes were in now? How about how we'd pay for it (in more ways than one)? How about more needless loss of life?

How about no more wars? How about that for a change?

"The outbreak of a conflict will be a big, big, big problem for all of us, and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences of a strike," Admiral Mullen said. [...]

Mullen, who was speaking to journalists during a visit to Israel, went on to say however that US President Barack Obama had been "very clear that from a policy standpoint, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapons."

"We haven't taken off any option from the table," the admiral said, using diplomatic language for keeping open the possibility of launching military strikes.

Shorter version: Bombing Iran would be a disaster, but we could live with that. Besides, Israel could start the ball rolling, and we could justify it by "having to" supporting our ally.

Shorter shorter version: Bombing Iran would be a disaster, but hey, what the hell.
