Some of America’s most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources.

Tension in the Gulf region has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George Bush leaves office. The Sunday Times has learnt that up to five generals and admirals are willing to resign rather than approve what they consider would be a reckless attack.

“There are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if Bush ordered an attack on Iran,” a source with close ties to British intelligence said. “There is simply no stomach for it in the Pentagon, and a lot of people question whether such an attack would be effective or even possible.”

A British defence source confirmed that there were deep misgivings inside the Pentagon about a military strike. “All the generals are perfectly clear that they don’t have the military capacity to take Iran on in any meaningful fashion. Nobody wants to do it and it would be a matter of conscience for them.

“There are enough people who feel this would be an error of judgment too far for there to be resignations.”

A generals’ revolt on such a scale would be unprecedented. “American generals usually stay and fight until they get fired,” said a Pentagon source. Robert Gates, the defence secretary, has repeatedly warned against striking Iran and is believed to represent the view of his senior commanders.

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”.

Iran ignored a United Nations deadline to suspend its uranium enrichment programme last week. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insisted that his country “will not withdraw from its nuclear stances even one single step”.

The International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iran could soon produce enough enriched uranium for two nuclear bombs a year, although Tehran claims its programme is purely for civilian energy purposes.

Nicholas Burns, the top US negotiator, is to meet British, French, German, Chinese and Russian officials in London tomorrow to discuss additional penalties against Iran. But UN diplomats cautioned that further measures would take weeks to agree and would be mild at best.

A second US navy aircraft carrier strike group led by the USS John C Stennis arrived in the Gulf last week, doubling the US presence there. Vice Admiral Patrick Walsh, the commander of the US Fifth Fleet, warned: “The US will take military action if ships are attacked or if countries in the region are targeted or US troops come under direct attack.”

But General Peter Pace, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said recently there was “zero chance” of a war with Iran. He played down claims by US intelligence that the Iranian government was responsible for supplying insurgents in Iraq, forcing Bush on the defensive.

Pace’s view was backed up by British intelligence officials who said the extent of the Iranian government’s involvement in activities inside Iraq by a small number of Revolutionary Guards was “far from clear”.

Hillary Mann, the National Security Council’s main Iran expert until 2004, said Pace’s repudiation of the administration’s claims was a sign of grave discontent at the top.

“He is a very serious and a very loyal soldier,” she said. “It is extraordinary for him to have made these comments publicly, and it suggests there are serious problems between the White House, the National Security Council and the Pentagon.”

Mann fears the administration is seeking to provoke Iran into a reaction that could be used as an excuse for an attack. A British official said the US navy was well aware of the risks of confrontation and was being “seriously careful” in the Gulf.

The US air force is regarded as being more willing to attack Iran. General Michael Moseley, the head of the air force, cited Iran as the main likely target for American aircraft at a military conference earlier this month.

According to a report in The New Yorker magazine, the Pentagon has already set up a working group to plan airstrikes on Iran. The panel initially focused on destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities and on regime change but has more recently been instructed to identify targets in Iran that may be involved in supplying or aiding militants in Iraq.

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.

Britain is concerned that its own troops in Iraq might be drawn into any American conflict with Iran, regardless of whether the government takes part in the attack.

One retired general who participated in the “generals’ revolt” against Donald Rumsfeld’s handling of the Iraq war said he hoped his former colleagues would resign in the event of an order to attack. “We don’t want to take another initiative unless we’ve really thought through the consequences of our strategy,” he warned.

Aren't there hundreds, perhaps even a thousand, generals and admirals on active duty? Five wouldn't be many. However, if they resign out of conscience (as William Jennings Bryan resigned as Secretary of State when Woodrow Wilson ordered him to send a message to Germany that would almost surely have put us into world war one earlier), that's the right thing to do. At least, that's what Jiminy Cricket sang in Pinocchio, wasn't it?

Of course, and the US military is about to stage a Coup d'état and will form a close alliance with the muslim pigs that wish to exterminate western culture.

Hey Zeb, you got any words of your own to add here. Or are you just a anti American drone without an origonal thought in cyst between your ears.

ustraitor

Just try and find the wreckage of flight 77 in all the photos of the pentagon on 9-11.

Tell us how WTC building 7 imploded without jetliner impact?

Tell us how is it silverstein the owner of the WTC complex makes not millions, by billions off the 9-11 tragedy with no investigation.

The theatrics and 9-11 has gotten American in two wars and is draining the treasury while the Israeli bankers reap all the spoils. Now they want more spoils and another war with Iran.

Has the American government been hijacked or have we all entered the twilight zone?

I didn't reply to this guy's assinine questions because I just didn't think they were worth the effort.

It would be like explaining why the sky is blue to a first-grader.......

Now, if he were a first-grader, I would have not probs explaining that, but he's not.......

ustraitor.........Just answer the questions...Creep.



Solonav,

Sometimes it really appears that you may be boarder-line retarded.

Don't think so. IQ is 135.

....... you do appear less than intelligent, though.

Solonav, Let's see how all of your IQ handles the Questions...

Was the wreckage of flight 77 found at the pentagon on september 11 2001?

Did silverstein the owner of the WTC complex made billions of dollars from the 9-11 tradegy?

Was the twin towers searched for the existance of explosives?

Did WTC building 7 implode unaided by aircraft impact?

Has the jewish controlled corporate news media attempted to conceal these facts?

Did the so-called "War on Terror" florish as a result of the Theatrics of the 911 stunt?

O.k miss IQ everyone's waiting.

ustraitor.....Your Bolshevik spy buddy may need some help answering the type of questions you bolshevik spies (including the American news media) always attempt to conceal.

Was the wreckage of flight 77 found at the pentagon on september 11 2001?

Did silverstein the owner of the WTC complex made billions of dollars from the 9-11 tradegy?

Was the twin towers searched for the existance of explosives?

Did WTC building 7 implode unaided by aircraft impact?

Has the jewish controlled corporate news media attempted to conceal these facts?

Did the so-called "War on Terror" florish as a result of the Theatrics of the 911 stunt?

One-note song.

Why don't you try adding a few zeros before the 135 IQ for anyone including a total fool can see the wreckage of flight 77 cannot be found in any of the photos. Trust me your lies will not convince anyone that the wreckage of flight 77 can be found in the photos. Suddenly it has become incredibly difficult to post any photos of the 9-11 pentegon crime scene, and none of the links seem to work to the photos of the 9-11 pentagon smoking gun. However true Americans already know this information, but its still quite amusing to see the propagandist trying to prop-up this total lie.

In terms of insurance: is there such thing as jetliner impact insurance? and how interesting it is to reckonize the timely increase in insurance just before the 9-11 attack.... very interesting.

What insurance companies are we speaking of ? The victims of hurricane Katrina could really use a one size fits all insurance company, For they had hurricane insurance but they did not get paid because the insurance companies claimed it was the storm surge that caused the damage. With all your I.Q. of course you get the point. Again Did silverstein have jetliner impact insurance?

Shucks, Jeb, Clyde and I were gonna go down to the moonshine still tonight with Sarah Jo and Annabell, and then you went and spoiled this American generals quitting thread with all this WTC conspiracy crud. Can't we all just get along and drink moonshine?

Have any of those generals quit? Or are they waiting for the war against Iran to start?

ustraitor……… You continue to out do yourself in pure unadulterated stupidity. You try putting forth this fake façade of intelligence; however it’s plain to see the more you write the more illogical, irrational, and nonsensical you become. Many words describe your dilemma, however the raw and straight to the point word known as stupid really highlights your pathetic condition.

We are speaking here of this huge 757 jumbo jet crashing into the pentagon, and you offer the picture of twisted sheet metal as proof of flight 77. This qualifies as being extremely stupid. Honestly are you really so clueless to the asinine absurdity of the evidence you presented? With all the great ownership of property you have in Florida surly you have been in an airport. Surly you’ve seen the huge 757‘s land and take-off there, yet you show this piece of scrap as evidence of flight 77’s wrecked fuselage at the pentagon. Do you really want to talk about dementia silly kook?

You are either incredibly stupid, or you’re a Bolshevik spy trying to convince Americans to surrender their rights, constitution, and freedom to those who engineered 9-11 as a means to overthrow the American government. In Russia once the Bolshevik’s got into the peoples heads and turned them against the monarchy they destabilized the gov’t and murdered the last tsar and his children.

Once these animals got control of the government they were far worst then the tsar ever could be. When one considers who brought communism to Russia it all becomes clear. Much of Bolshevism came from Jews in Manhattan that moved to Russia, 9-11 also took place in Manhattan. These people change there names but their murderous deeds always continue.

“Originally named Lev Davidovich Bronstein, Trotsky was born on November 7, 1879, in Kherson Province in Ukraine, the son of Russified Jews. For pure murderous evil, there has never been a force to compare with Communism. The Nazis didn't come close. The Holocaust was uniquely malignant - never before or since did one people construct a vast industry of death for the sole purpose of rounding up and destroying every single member of another people. But the Nazis exterminated 11 million innocents; the Communist death toll surpasses 100 million. Nazi power lasted from 1933 to 1945. The Communist nightmare began in November 1917, and continues to this day.

Savagery has always been a hallmark of Communism. It is an ideology that requires the destruction of human beings. "We have never rejected terror in principle," wrote Lenin in 1901, "nor can we do so."

Half a century later, even as he denounced the extremes to which his predecessors went, Nikita Khrushchev vowed that the terror so esteemed by Lenin would go on. "The questioning of Stalin's terror," he cautioned the Twentieth Party Congress in 1956, "may lead to the questioning of terror in general. But Bolshevism believes in the use of terror." Not long afterward, Khrushchev sent 3,000 Soviet tanks to crush the Hungarian freedom fighters.

Communism equals murder. Everywhere. Always.

In Ukraine, for example, where 7 million people were starved to death on the Kremlin's orders. "If you go now to the Ukraine or the North Caucuses," wrote British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge in 1933, "exceedingly beautiful countries and formerly amongst the most fertile in the world, you will find them like a desert; . . . no livestock or horses; villages deserted; peasants famished, often their bodies swollen, unutterably wretched." Farmers who took grain or vegetables from their own land were shot. Dead bodies littered the streets of Kharkov, the capital. "It was," an eyewitness later recalled, "as if the Black Death had passed through."

In the Soviet Union, the communist party, run mostly for the benefit of its Jewish founders who made up approximately 90% of the founding fathers and administrators of the Soviet Union, hid behind their leftist doctrine which had been designed to undermine Christianity in the name of materialism and social science. These administrators of the Soviet Union who were detailed in reports to the U.S. State Department from Russia in 1919 were instrumental in instructing their cohorts to send out Jewish commissars like Kaganovitch and Beria to kill approximately 100 million White European Christians whom they called "reactionary bourgeoisie" for correctness in 1920-1940. What they meant by "bourgeoisie" were Russia's Christians.

In addition to killing the Christian peasants under the materialist aegis of communism, the churches and parochial schools were confiscated or burned as were their Christian towns; the priests were either murdered or sent to prisons, and all vestiges of Christianity were as nearly as possible expunged. Once the Christians in an entire area were killed, the Jews brought in new non-Christians, atheists, who were relocated there to re-establish the economic exploitation of the emptied lands in agricultural communes similar to the kibbutzim programs in Israel which were begun at the same time”.

History such as this gives one insight into what was behind our American Christian president death, whose “shock and awl assassination” which took place in Texas (very interesting) and was broadcasted for all to see.

JFK stood up with strong action against Federal Reserve System which is nothing more then the exploitation of the American economy. They murdered him and used their news media to try and hide the facts pertaining to the murder of a very popular American president.

Based on history when people like Silverstein, and his insurance arrangements are not investigated America is asking for big trouble. Ustraitor is the type of slime who works for this type of wickedness. The propaganda he pushes on message boards gives clues about his background. The guy no doubt has a flat head in the back because his mama could not stand holding him so she just left him to lie alone in his lousy crib. No doubt the guy’s diaper stayed loaded, his mama and daddy hated him but the flies sure loved him. His mama never wanted to beast feed him so they relied on the neighbor’s bloodhound to wean the budding reprobate.

In his early years he was a chronic bed wetter until the age of 22. He was renowned for his B.O. in high school. They added a new category in the year book, along with most likely to succeed, ustraitor, won the category of most likely to stink. You propaganda spies are real scum. Remember all lies fade in the light of truth.

Facts such as these are not going anywhere the generals and all American patriots are not stupid and are demanding resolution in terms of these factors concerning 9-11.:

The Old plan from the late 1980s to tear down the WTC

The WTC was a money loser since the late 1980s

The WTC was getting old and needed to be torn down by about 2010

The cost for tearing down the WTC was estimated at $10-$20 billion

Larry Silverstein fund invested $14 million and reaped several billion

Silverstein would have needed to tear down old WTC and rebuild it

9-11 saved Silverstein over ten billion to tear down and rebuild WTC

Total insurance coverage was quadrupled from $2 billion to $8 billion

This sweet deal was signed just weeks ahead of the 9-11-1 events

For the first time terrorism was covered by the insurances

The old WTC was a proven and known money loser since the 1980s

Silverstein, a NY real estate professor and WTC investor, knew this

Silverstein’s lease and insurance deal made no business sense

Silverstein admitted that the old WTC building 7 was pulled

Silverstein’s backers are Zionist hawks (Kissinger, Greenberg, et al.)

The WTC destruction hence smells of a huge insurance fraud

Ignored 9-11 warnings and foreknowledge

Close observance of the alleged Arab suspects

Training of the alleged hijackers by CIA and Pentagon

Pre-existing plans to invade Afghanistan and Iraq

The pre-existing need to find a pretext for those invasions

The close connections of Bush, bin Laden, the Saudis

Several pre-scheduled mock drills on 9-11

Military stand-down through drills

G. W. Bush inactive in a school

Zionist interest in the results



Lies and Evidence Tampering by the Government and Media:

Groundless pointing out of Osama bin Laden and 19 students as suspects

No forensically usable evidence to this day against alleged suspects

Fake 9-11 government reports that fly in the face of reported facts

Destruction of WTC, Pentagon and Florida flight school crime scenes

Destruction of evidence files archive that was stored in WTC

Cover-up of hundreds of millions insider trading for CIA/Krongard

Flying the bin Laden family out of Texas during flight ban period

Rewards and promotions to moles in the government apparatus

Silencing and regimenting of whistleblowers, blocking testimony

Destroying tapes of alleged cell phone calls

Manipulating flight records and specifics

Manipulating pre-flight security video screenshots

Withholding several security videos from the Pentagon

Lies of Condoleezza Rice

Lies of Theodore Olson

Lies of the 9-11 Commission

The 9-11 Commission ignored massive relevant evidence

The government holds on to Arab suspects theory with no evidence

Seven alleged hijackers still alive today but no initiative to prosecute

The planes shown on TV are models (photoshopped or holograms)

Conscious lie that Saddam Hussein was somehow behind 9-11

Lies about weapons of mass destruction, Niger yellowcake etc.

Stratagem to use 9-11 to start two wars (Afghanistan and Iraq)

War profiteering by Bush family (politically) and cronies (financially)

Destruction of U.S. Constitution, Patriot Act I and II

Promotion of hatred through the 9-11 myth of an Arab attack

Misuse of the national security issue through the 9-11 myth

The hijacking of N.S.A. by this administration as an act of communism not security.

YEAH THE WHOLE DAMNED PLANE SHOULD HAVE BOUNCED BACK INTO THE STREET!!!!!

Momentum be damned, Zeb proclaims mass and velocity are meaningless when Americans' guilt is more politically advantageous than Sir Isaac Newton's Law.

In Zeb's world anybody that understands Newton's law is "clueless".

Zeb's whole world is upside down, ignorance and/or indoctrination over intelligence.

Your off the wall divertionary tactics are not fooling anyone.

The truth shows...iswhatitis's pathetic world is upside down, ignorance and/or indoctrination over intelligence....The reverse psycology is not working either.

Depraved Creep.

http://www.bearpit.net/index.php?s=&showto...ndpost&p=101129

Anyone can see that your name-calling tactics are much superior.

This is very true, however no name or label is descriptive enough to stoop to the level of those who work to overthrown the American Government through propaganda, and a whole array of deception; this includes the entire corporate news media.

The part you left out was name calling along with "the introduction of facts and evidence".

Those whose purpose it is to attempt to mislead, lie, divert attention away from the facts, cover for crinimals and murders, aid and abet corruption and treason are some of the lowest so-called human beings in existence. You really need to know the true history of communism and all the murder, bloodshed and mayhem that comes with it. So-called homeland security is nothing more than communism/bolshevism putting it's tenticals in place to try and gradually replace this democracy.

One really needs to know about Stalin, Lenin, Bela kun (cohen), Trosky and all these type of animals whose policies of murder are second to none. Hundreds of millions murdered, to gulag system, the total restriction of rights and privacy. the total censorship of idea's and speech through the use of force.

The hijacking of the N.S.A. is another move in the introduction of communism/bolshevism here in America.

You speak of name calling, at this point the camouflage needs to be striped from you bolshevik propagandist so people are not confused by the lies and deception. The pattern of your methods are clear at this point few people are fooled by those who can never comment on a posted article with relevant facts. You have already lost the war for the minds of the American people.

That was a nice pass through, Zeb. Went over your head slickernsnot.

I bet that went at least 1/16" deep before you took up your old mantra. (yawn)

solonav.....More pea brain, off the wall, illrelevant diversion which has become the unmistakable signiture that defines you lying progagandist.

,
Compared to your eloquent namecalling, I presume?

BTW, "signiture" is spelled "signature," "illrelevant" is spelled "irrelevant, " and "progandist" is spelled "propagandist." Knowing how to spell correctly makes your insults at least readable.

The way it is now, they are merely humorous. B)





Here, let me help. Although this is like giving a loaded gun to a child, I'd like you for, at least, be brought up to the level of the posters you are trying your darndest to ridicule. http://dictionary.reference.com/

Professor.......Getting the point across is the idea. It's true it will be those who are looking for any and every excuse not to acknowledge the "content" of the article. You Zionist/bolshevik propagandist fit the profile.

Have any thoughts on this subject matter:

The Old plan from the late 1980s to tear down the WTC

Any comments .....Professor?

That's Mr. Depraved Creep to you youngster. Call back when you get your big boy pants. It wasn't reverse psychology it was physics, but you won't get to it until your junior year in most American high schools, if you get to it at all. Not sure when your common sense will occur, seems like menopause for some boys doesn't occur until the ovaries die in their brains. I don't know, never was very good with anatomy and I'm not French, so never had to deal with ovaries myself.

PS: Don't take the response very seriously, it is humor, although if your balls haven't dropped you probably won't get it (you may have to look that reference up under animal husbandry). My "pathetic world" is fun and I'm always right. I recommend you find a happy place of your own, maybe it will allow your balls to drop or 'man'opause to commence.

ustraitor......You people are showing your hand more and more these days. Terrorism seems to be your solution for any dilemma you’re faced with.

You place this photo of a grenade for all to see, why don’t you tell everyone what this is supposed to suggest?

9-11 was an act of terrorism against this country in a classic false flag operation. Some of the trash you propagandist post helps confirm the uncivilized mentality among you Bolsheviks.

It kind of makes one wonder was the killings in Virginia orchestrated to take news media attention away from the Gonzales hearings.

George Bush's statements after this tradegy were really designed to play upon the fear of people in colleges across the nation.

The timing of the attack postponed the hearings for a few days; the attack by Cho was a convenient diversion from White House corruption. To this very day the Bolshevik news media has not focused on the lies and corruption of the Attorney General who was caught red handed trying to saboteur justice in America. Maybe the ole’ fascist/Bolshevik standard of justice is what the criminals want for America.

It’s clear they want NO ACCOUNTABLITY.

It will be interesting to see what terrorist type occurrences (the timing) will take place as true Americans close in on the real terrorist behind 9-11. It’s not inconceivable that Cho was some type of Manchurian candidate. As the facts start to surface the Cho situation starts looking more and more political.

This is no doubt a attempted coup by the enemies of the United States of America. The American troops are being stretched thin and to the breaking point intentionally.

The Homeland is also not being protected by the national guard (intentionally) to wear out the troops by this bogus Iraqi war. Equipment needed here was intentionally shipped overseas to decrease our domestic readiness. What is not mentioned is the first Iraqi war has far more America deaths then the present war.

The use of depleted uranium has caused the death, and sickened far more soldiers then this present war, this was done intentionally to prepare for the hostel take-over of this government.

Base realignment, gun control of so-called assault weapons, 9-11, the hijacking of N.S.A. , and the across board media propaganda is just part of the evidence of an communism take-over of the United States.

America has been pushed to the point of exhaustion in Iraq, they want to finish off the American military by another war in Iran. Pushing the capacity of our military over the edge, and bringing in Russian troops posing as U.N. peacekeepers (NWO Bolsheviks) to take our weapons and destroy our constitutional freedoms.

The Generals who are true patriots don't stop being Generals because they refuse to fight with those who's aim is to destroy America. It's a welcome development for all the Generals and those from law enforcement who understand what's really going on, and choose to uphold the American constitution and our second amendment freedoms.

General Washington's great victory happened by the God given right to keep and bare arms.

Care to elaborate??

Nomad.......Just the tip of the iceberg.


Depleted Uranium Death Toll among US War Veterans Tops 11,000
Nationwide Media Blackout Keeps U.S. Public Ignorant About This Important Story


by James P. Tucker Jr.

The death toll from the highly toxic weapons component known as depleted uranium (DU) has reached 11,000 soldiers and the growing scandal may be the reason behind Anthony Principi’s departure as secretary of the Veterans Affairs Department.

This view was expressed by Arthur Bernklau, executive director of Veterans for Constitutional Law in New York, writing in Preventive Psychiatry E-Newsletter.

“The real reason for Mr. Principi’s departure was really never given,” Bernklau said. “However, a special report published by eminent scientist Leuren Moret naming depleted uranium as the definitive cause of ‘Gulf War Syndrome’ has fed a growing scandal about the continued use of uranium munitions by the U.S. military.”

The “malady [from DU] that thousands of our military have suffered and died from has finally been identified as the cause of this sickness, eliminating the guessing. . . . The terrible truth is now being revealed,” Bernklau said.

Of the 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are now dead, he said. By the year 2000, there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. More than a decade later, more than half (56 percent) who served in Gulf War I have permanent medical problems. The disability rate for veterans of the world wars of the last century was 5 percent, rising to 10 percent in Vietnam.

“The VA secretary was aware of this fact as far back as 2000,” Bernklau said. “He and the Bush administration have been hiding these facts, but now, thanks to Moret’s report, it is far too big to hide or to cover up.”

Terry Johnson, public affairs specialist at the VA, recently reported that veterans of both Persian Gulf wars now on disability total 518,739, Bernklau said.

“The long-term effect of DU is a virtual death sentence,” Bernklau said. “Marion Fulk, a nuclear chemist, who retired from the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, and was also involved in the Manhattan Project, interprets the new and rapid malignancies in the soldiers [from the second war] as ‘spectacular’—and a matter of concern.’ ”

While this important story appeared in a Washington newspaper and the wire services, it did not receive national exposure—a compelling sign that the American public is being kept in the dark about the terrible effects of this toxic weapon.

MUCH less than intelligent.
Solo, don't you just get bored of these brainless morons?

Yea, that's the reason I don't reply to Zeb any more; however, there are a few that post here that have information both for and against my views.

And, it's free from some of the zanies on other boards.

I was away from all forums for almost a year, so I've missed out on some of the goingson and am just getting reclimatized. I'm posting less and less on most forums. It's a waste of time, but occasionally I'll see an old soldier still in the fray, so I'll lend a hand.

So, how are you doing, GP?

I don't bother much with politics anymore. The nut jobs just go on and on like an Everready battery!

It's no game or drill......The bolshevik spies are at war with America! Along with all the traitors who put money over principle not realizing how these depraved people destroy and murder hundreds of millions of people, all for the beastly greed that makes them sub-human.
