Mullen says US has Iran strike plan, just in case

[ErnstBlofeld]

The Washington Post:

 

The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff says the U.S. military has a plan to attack Iran, although he thinks a strike is probably a bad idea.

 

Adm. Mike Mullen, the nation's highest-ranking military officer, has often warned that a military strike on Iran would have serious and unpredictable ripple effects around the Middle East. At the same time, he says the risk of Iran developing a nuclear weapon is unacceptable.

 

Mullen would not say which risk he thinks is worse. But he tells NBC's "Meet The Press" that a military strike remains an option if need be.

 

And he says that, should it come to that, the military has a plan at hand. He didn't elaborate.

No sh!t, Sherlock.

 

Nothing new with this. Just more hand wringing and some probing. Everybody except the bad guys say Iran shouldn't develop nukes, let alone have them, yet nothing is done.

 

And Ahmadamnnutjob isn't listening.
