Admiral Mike Mullen
Joint Chiefs Chairman, Admiral Mike Mullen, has said an attack on Iran would be “very, very destabilizing” to the Middle East and urges diplomacy with Tehran instead.
America’s top military officer made the statement on January 7th during an address before the Washington Institute for Near-East Policy, which happens to be a pro-Israel think tank.Mullen said he does believe Iran is “on a path that has strategic intent to develop nuclear weapons and have been for some time”, a charge the Islamic Republic denies.
“I think that outcome is a very, very destabilizing outcome,” Admiral Mullen said.
However, when asked about performing a military strike on Iran, Admiral Mullen cautioned that option would also have a “very, very destabilizing” outcome.
Admiral Mullen also cautioned about the “unintended consequences” for either outcome, adding, “that part of the world could become much more unstable, which is a dangerous global outcome.”
The Joint Chiefs Chairman made similar remarks in 2008 and 2009, cautioning against military action against Iran.

Well….of COURSE people would rather have peace. Israel WANTS PEACE. But Ahmadinejad–(mark my words for you can BANK on them…)- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will NOT be cozied up to by the current oval office sitter no matter how many “unclenched fists” Obama extends… There is something far greater than Obama going on here! The Iranian madman..is seeking to bring in the 12th Iman…The worlds literal anti-Christ/Satan incarnate. Except for Ahmadinejad and all of Islam that has not yet seen the Truth-( John 14:6)-They believe it is their “savior” and will bring in the world domination of their ideology. Islamic Sharia law too I think..The other I know.
Oh? I forgot to say there will be nO peace until Christ returns. A false one by the anti-Christ for 31/2 years..then all hell will break loose on earth for the last 3 1/2 years of this erath Age… There will, however, be NO REAL peace until the Prince of Peace returns and institutes it as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. AFTER the horrendous war that will be no match for any previous ones. OKAY! I’m done now..
Mullen keeps the Mullah’s confused. Will we, or won’t we, strike Iran?
Israel and the US have been gelded in this regard. Here is how it’s going to go:
Israel and the US do nothing.
Iran gets the bomb, and makes 3 or 4 copies.
Iran deploys the bombs.
WW3 starts and Russian sides with Iran.
The USA does not enter the war (even if one of the bombs finds it’s way here).
Both Israel and Persia are contaminated with radiation so….
obingo invites both their populations to emigrate to the USA, with the Haitians, and they live happily ever after in New Jersey, where they perpetuate their was and make it look like Beirut.
Rather read the Book of Daniel, chapter 11 to understand what will really happen (i.e. EU vs Islam) and NO satan will not rule for 31/2 years (the last half of the 7 years of Tribulations) but for only 5 months – as those years have been shortened (read Matthew 24:22 and Revelation 9 with verses 5 and 10 as the answer)

Its a well known fact that the book of mathew was written over more than two centuries by different writers, they use different grammar and different syntax when compared to the other books
Everyone get over the antichrist thing! there have been many going back to Rome, antichrist is the main stream media, corporate America, US government, Israel themselves.
In fact they are only Jews by religion in Israel, what if china converted to the Jewish faith tomorrow, would they be able to have israel, yet we believe these Turkish/mongol khazarian Jews that roamed across eastern Europe who Hitler wanted to exterminate are the chosen, they are not the Jew mentioned in biblical era and they will be annihilated, they are not the lords sheep but are of the goat nations, they sponge off Jacobs birth right.
@ eddie, please xplain to us why you hate the Jews so much? What have we done to you, that has created this hatred in you? How many Jews do you actually know? And I don’t mean the liberal kind in Hollywood, but the observant religious Jew. I recomend that you go visit an Orthodox Synagouge ( Chabad ), meet the Rabbi, and strike up a conversation with the members, and ask as all your questions, and you will get answers, hey we love questions and debate, you might learn something that could hopefully change your way of thinking for the positive. They might even invite you over for diner. That is called educating yourself, First hand. If you don’t do that, then you are a coward who does not want the truth and facts but preaches only false hatred and lies, like a well trained parrot. So which one are you?
If I want to know about the Hindu way of life, I will ask a Hindu, and that should apply to all.
