Addressing a news conference in Washington, Adm. Michael Mullen,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday, April 25, the
Pentagon is planning for “potential military courses of action”
against Iran. He spoke of the Tehran government’s “increasingly lethal
and malign influence” in Iraq. A conflict with Iran would be
“extremely stressing” he said, but not impossible and “it would be a
mistake to think that we are out of combat capability.” The admiral
stressed the reserve capabilities of the Navy and Air Force.



Interesting to see him reinforcing the nonexistent status of our
puppet regime in Iraq
We have to protect our protectorate from themselves
We start a war with their neighbor
And then we "have to stay "
