I forgot to set the amplitude disgrontifier to "max screed" and busted the dang needle!

>>>lol. more disinformation.<<<

If you read this carefully, this article hits almost every point that has been previously raised against an attack, and adds a new one - resignations.

Its too perfect a summary.....either the press has fallen hook/line/sinker for the Bush administrations attempt to confuse Iran with disinformation, or......they are complicit!

[SAMS]

Fine, let them. There are quite a few Colonels that would love to be generals....and lots of 1-stars that would love a second star. Only problem will be; these clowns will start showing up all over the TV morning/Sunday gab-fests..not a pleasant thought.

[mystery-ak]

I think this is pure BS....

[barb-tex]

Yes, the dirty bunch of cowards.

THis looks like wishful thinking on the part of the left to me. Generals generally love war and love attacks.

Mann doesn't know $hit...who calls the CJCS, who is a Marine, a soldier?

Head FReeper BUMP!

If this is true, the military should take these high ranking generals, put them up against a wall, and shoot them. We have civilian control of our military. We must never compromise on that fact.

Of course, it is not true. I said if...

[Chode]

well, not to worry then, since it's the NAVY that's most likely to get the job...

This story is more media propaganda. However, if a couple of generals really should quit, it would take all of 2 seconds to replace them. As they say, if you think you're indispensible stick your finger in a bucket of water, then take it out, and see how fast the hole disappears.

[Smokin' Joe]

Enemy propaganda.

I am inclined to agree. More gobbets from the cut-and-run crowd.

If they would really resign, let them do so now and the services can have their replacements up to speed if and when the need arises.

An air attack seems to be the only effective action we could take. A land invasion is probably beyond our current capability. We are at an apparent stalemate in Iraq. However, there is a large amount of pro American sentiment among Iranians. Hence, there is the possibility of an internal uprising.

"a source with close ties to British intelligence said????"

Well, like I'm totally close to like people, ya know, like in Britian, like well they talk that way so I think they're like British, and like they're soooo intellegent, like ya know....

Just how many perfumed princes are there in the defense services? Big government can mirror big business where management is, many times, top heavy.

'The most cooks, the worst pottage'.

[TXnMA]

What were the names of those insubordinate turkeys...?

[jazusamo]

What a crock! It's evident things have slowed down in Iraq, now they're making the news.

Every three and four star in the pentagon are hand picked by Rummy. THERE are no Clinton 3's or 4's left.
