US PREPARING FORCES FOR POSSIBLE CONFLICT WITH IRAN
The US does not want to see confrontation with Iran but is still preparing its military for that possibility, America's top uniformed officer said Thursday.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Navy. Adm. Michael Mullen:
"We've looked to do all we can to ensure that conflict doesn't break out there, while at the same time preparing forces, as we do for many contingencies that we understand might occur," Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during an appearance at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Mullen had been asked whether the US military was stretched too thin to take further action in trouble spots beyond Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We're very hard-pressed right now" because of the two wars, he noted, but added that it is primarily ground troops that have been deployed, and "the likelihood that our ground forces would have to go somewhere in these kinds of numbers in some other part of the world, or even in the same region, I think is pretty low."
Many experts assess that any American military engagement with Iran would most likely rely on air and naval power.
My answer:
A strike from Israel will be expected… but Obama put himself in an awkward situation, by making friends out of terrorists and those countries who support them. Here is another report on what our President has done with his power…(Iran has got to be smiling, I feel sorry for Israel who thought the US would push for tough sanctions, actually promised them, and now has pulled away.)
DEBKAfile Special Report: Obama finally forswears tough sanctions on Iran. Jerusalem says nothing
January 6, 2010, 1:01 PM (GMT+02:00)
Taking advantage of the ado surrounding the failed airliner bombing and the new prominence of the al Qaeda peril, the Obama administration has finally given up its sanctions strategy for averting the rise of a nuclear-armed Iran. US secretary of state Hillary Clinton was tasked with the public announcement: "The Obama administration wants to keep the door to dialogue open with Iran," she said Jan. 4, then added a remark which let Iran off completely of the American hook: "...although the United States has avoided using the term deadline, it cannot wait indefinitely to hear form Iran."
I see the possibility of a few outcomes here: Give me your thoughts…
1). This statement from Mike Mullen is a bluff, all talk, to get the rest of world to take action against Iran and quickly, before the US threatens to make a mess.
2) This is a statement of war to come. Israel and the US will join together on this attack and get rid of this scumbag in Iran for good. Maybe that troop surge in Afghanistan was for a ground invasion of Iran, not the Taliban. We are always not told everything.
3) If Iran sees any movement of the US navy heading towards them - you can plan on attacks on American soil by all those ‘sleeper cells’ we let in. The threat of an EMP (Electronic Magnetic Pulse) bomb is greatly enhanced also. Iran already has the technology to explode one of these over America. This is detonated in the atmosphere, way above land. The force of the explosion will take out every electric grid that is below. This could happen over a major city, or a large explosion could effect an entire region of the country…. Sending us back to the 1800’s.
Maybe it would be a good idea for people to start taking measures to ensure the necessities of survival. Get extra food and water in your house, flashlights… just like you would prepare for a major storm.
4) We can wait for dialogue to work. Let the “Peace Prize Winner” do his job.
