US MILITARY: WE'RE READY TO WHACK IRAN - or why the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs will be an Admiral, just like the head of CENTCOM

HOT AIR (VIA ACE):

JPost:
A high-ranking American military officer told the Post that senior officers in the US armed forces had thrown their support behind Bush and believed that additional steps needed to be taken to stop Iran.

Predictions within the US military are that Bush will do what is needed to stop Teheran before he leaves office in 2009, including possibly launching a military strike against its nuclear facilities…

According to a high-ranking American military officer, the US Navy and Air Force would play the primary roles in any military action taken against Iran. One idea under consideration is a naval blockade designed to cut off Iran’s oil exports.

The officer said that if the US government or the UN Security Council decided on this course of action, the US Navy would most probably not block the Strait of Hormuz - a step that would definitely draw an Iranian military response - but would patrol farther out and turn away tankers on their way to load oil.




THE FACT THAT IT WOULD BE A NAVY LED ATTACK IS WHY THE NEW CHAIRMAN WILL BE AN ADMIRAL.

MIGHT I REMIND YOU THAT THE CHIEF OF CENTCOM IS AN ADMIRAL, TOO. (Admiral Fallon pictured at left.)


(IN WHICH I WAS THE FIRST BLOGGER TO PROFFER THAT THE NEW CENTCOM CHIEF WAS SELECTED BECAUSE OF IRAN.)


Irans' day of reckoning is coming...
