Gen. Martin Dempsey: Israel, U.S. Have ‘Better Military Options’ Against Iran

[Purveyor]

(JTA) — Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Israel and the United States have “better military options” against Iran than they did a year ago.

“That’s because we’ve continued to refine them,” Dempsey told The New York Times in an interview from Jordan. “We’ve continued to develop technology, we’ve continued to train and plan.”

Dempsey told the newspaper that he “sensed agreement” that diplomatic initiatives and economic sanctions levied in an effort to halt Iran’s nuclear program were “having an effect” on the Islamic Republic.

Dempsey arrived in Amman on Wednesday after spending several days in Israel meeting with military and political leaders to discuss Iran, as well as the situations in Egypt and Syria.

1. Probably True, Sir, But It Is Still An Extremely Poor Idea

Mr. Brzezinski's view is that attacking Iran in present conditions would be for us what Afghanistan proved for the Soviet Union, and I take that man's warnings very seriously....

2. Great!

Let's invade them all and we will finally have the excuse we need to stop Social Security and ALL other social spending. "Hey, the Debt is too large! We gotta make cuts! Not to military spending (natch), because we need it to counteract the sudden,and mysterious rise in terrorism. Better borrow a few hundred billion to bolster spy capability as well.

Here comes the War.

They just need an excuse.

I'm sure it will not be long.

Can't wait to see all the anti - (fill - in - the - blank ) cheerleading when we finally find a target to justify more military spending.

Damn....
