This is the headline: "SOME of America’s most senior military commanders, (up to 5 Generals and Admirals), are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources". The
In a world of political gamesmanship, it is hard to see through all the smoke and mirrors, but one thing is sure, the Pentagon is not willing to embark on such a foolhardy mission.
The threat of a wave of resignations coincided with a warning by Vice-President Dick Cheney that all options, including military action, remained on the table. He was responding to a comment by Tony Blair that it would not “be right to take military action against Iran”.
"However, army chiefs fear an attack on Iran would backfire on American troops in Iraq and lead to more terrorist attacks, a rise in oil prices and the threat of a regional war."
Personally, I think such an attack would be devastating, even to the point where the volunteer army would revolt as well. Bush certainly be branded as the worst US President ever.
