Would an Iranian nuke strike on Israel be OK?

We definitely wouldn’t want a place that is already destabilized to become very destabilized.

And what does the good Admiral think the consequences of Iran having nuclear weapons will be?

Aren't most attacks on a country supposed to be destabilizing? Isn't that sort of the point?

"Well, sir, we're going to attack, but frankly sir, no one will probably notice. Maybe McDonald's won't open until a little later, maybe 9 am. But probably not."

"I've been one who has been concerned about a strike on Iran for some time, because it could be very destabilizing, and it is the unintended consequences of that which aren't predictable,"

If the unintended consequences aren't predictable, how can you be so sure they'd be destabilizing?

Waaaaaaaait a minute. Is this an example of, "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit."?

"I've been one who has been concerned about a strike on Iran for some time, because it could be very destabilizing, and it is the unintended consequences of that which aren't predictable," the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff told the Fox News Sunday television program.

First, I had thought that someone who had risen this high would have quit making stupid statements -- "unintended consequences ... aren't predictable." Indeed!

Secondly, I wonder what Mr Chairman thinks would be the result of an Iranian attack on Israel.

What is more destabilizing is the uncertainty and indecision around the question of what will be done if iran continues down the path it is on.

That’s why I certainly won’t support current Republican favorites. Mullen was appointed during the Bush Administration. So was Gates. The other favorite politicians of free traitors are the same.

Duncan Hunter was the Republican chance to get enough votes, and Republicans blew it for momentary gratification from a few favored constituents. Now we’re headed for defaults through Democrats and/or Republicans who support feminism (anti-family social programs, government-run education, overstepping regulatory offices full of menopausal maniacs,...) and appeasements of foreign enemies.

...libertine liberals, all. There is no “war” in exchanges of political speech. That’s a man-haters’ linguistic construct for the purpose of equating women and sensitive New Age guys with men.

...”destabilizing” what—the traitorous import regime that’s slowly killing our Nation? There is no conservative US political party. A conservative party would be run by men—not by mouthy bandwagons of suburbanite harpies.

If we were half the men that our great-grandfathers were, Iran would have already been invaded, occupied and denazified. We shouldn’t be such a henpecked, romantic nation of Baby Boomers and Gen-X-ers.

Sometimes you need to destabilize.

What it comes down to is this - people are going to die. Is it going to be more of them or more of us?

A US military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would be "very destabilizing,"

And trying to force a constitutionally removed and impeached President onto a Free People is not destabilizing to the entire Latin American region ? Please DC, start making sense again.
