The top U.S. military officer supported a proposed nuclear deal with Iran on Wednesday, saying it reduced the risk of Tehran developing atomic arms while buying time to work with allies to confront the Islamic Republic over other "malign activities."
Army General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate hearing he had advised the White House to keep sanctions on Iran's ballistic missile program and arms trafficking for "as long as possible."
The deal between Iran and the United States, China, Russia, Britain and France would lift the ban on ballistic missile technology for eight years and retain an arms embargo for five.
Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee asked Dempsey how he squared his backing for the deal with his statement to the panel earlier this month that "under no circumstances" should pressure be eased on Iran over ballistic missiles and arms trafficking.
"My recommendation was to keep pressure on Iran on the other malign activities for as long as possible," Dempsey told the panel. "I will say that I think time works for us as well as Iran ... and so with the agreement made and having the opportunity to give my advice, I support it."

Have you looked at the general staff lately? These guys are “Mr. Rogers” from the pit of hell. Donald will purge then down a garbage disposal. What a bunch of effeminate. Can we survive? yes but time is short.
Thanks but I like your “last name” I might take it further to limpy gland? What a jack ass he truly was.
Hopefully the next president has his own purge of the military. This time to get rid of the communists running it.
I have zero respect for Gen. Martin Dempsey. He’s a tool.
I am with Trump...give us a new Patton or McArthur...get rid of the knee padding star guys!

He’s one of the yes-men generals that Obunghole didn’t fire.

But on the other thread Dempsey said Obama ignored his advice against the deal. Now he supports it. It means he caved in.
