THE ADMIRALS AGREE: THE NEO-CONS ARE NUTS

(Via Josh Marshall)

The neo-con's wish for military action against Iran SOON is stupid.

Adm. Fallon, the head of CENTCOM, said this a month ago and now Adm. Mullen, chairman of the JCS, said the same in an interview with the NY Times:

He rejected the counsel of those who might urge immediate attacks inside Iran to destroy nuclear installations or to stop the flow of explosives that end up as powerful roadside bombs in Iraq or Afghanistan, killing American troops.

With America at war in two Muslim countries, he said, attacking a third Islamic nation in the region “has extraordinary challenges and risks associated with it.” The military option, he said, should be a last resort.
