Imaging the odds in Iran, where they are rich, they have 70 mil people, and the govt defies us.

The generals know, Ron Paul knows, the Brits know, everyone knows... Bush wants war.

You're right. The military command thinks Bush is a tactical genius. ::)

Yes, and they'd like to ruin their careers by being named as someone who says they are going to quit before it actually happens.

It's not surprising that there are no names.

do you not watch the news? lol... it was on all 3 channels yesterday.

i love how whenever news comes that people don't like, it's "challenge the source". But when FOX news mentions that someone may have acted like they were going to spit near a soldier, we hear "you liberals spitting on soldiers" and other exaggerative things.

THe good thing is, you're now the minority - the neocons have about a quarter of the nation and you're shrinking. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I'm sure it could be true but so what., I hope they do..it would be the first time alot of these new generation of general officers grabed their nutsack and made a statemnet. None did during the Clinton dismantling of the armed forces. None did during the gear up for Iraq.

“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.

So this is a reporter talking about a source in the British intelligence who heard from senior American military officials that they will resign. This is like fourth or fifth hand information, at least. I'd question the reliability of this report too.
