Attacking Iran is NOT on the table
Looks like impeachment is not the only thing that's not on the table...
NeoCons Warned by Central Command Chief to Shut the Hell Up Over Bombing Iran

The head of the United States Central Command is now using key financial media to directly warn NeoCon warpigs to drop their ‘Bomb Iran Now’ campaign.The American military resistance to NeoCon plans to expand their chaos and destruction in the Middle East has now leaped out of the alternative media and into the headlines of the world’s financial press :
The Pentagon is not preparing a pre-emptive attack on Iran in spite of an increase in bellicose rhetoric from Washington, according to senior officers.
Admiral William Fallon, head of Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, told the Financial Times that while dealing with Iran was a “challenge”, a strike was not “in the offing”.
The continuing stories that just keep going around and around and around that any day now there will be another war which is just not where we want to go,” he said.
“Getting Iranian behaviour to change and finding ways to get them to come to their senses and do that is the real objective. Attacking them as a means to get to that spot strikes me as being not the first choice in my book.”
…his comments served as a shot across the bows of hawks who are arguing for imminent action. They also echoed the views of the senior brass that military action is currently unnecessary, and should only be considered as an absolute last resort.
Adm Fallon declined to comment specifically on whether the US rhetoric was feeding the speculation, but said that “generally, the bellicose comments are not particularly helpful”.
As we always say, read the front sections of the newspapers, by all means, but if you really want to know what’s going on in the world, always take a look at the business and financial pages.
In another story in the same edition of the Financial Times, Admiral Fallon says :
“It seems to me that we don’t need more problems…It astounds me that so many pundits and others are spending so much time yakking about this topic.”

Mason goes on to conclude:
The US military are not going to allow their forces to go to War On Iran, regardless of what President Bush orders them to do. More and more military chiefs are voicing their opposition and stating why such a war cannot be waged, even openly admitting their forces may not be able to cope.This is an open resistance by senior military leaders against the NeoCons. It’s been building for years, but now it’s hitting the headlines.
At the same time, the NeoCon ‘War On Iran’ cheerleaders are getting more hysterical and shrill, as they slowly realize they will never get their War On Iran. Not without an horrific attack on the United States that they can blame on the Iranians.
The NeoCons are now verbal terrorists, helping to push up the price of oil with their endless demands for air strikes on Iran and warnings of chaos to come, causing scares and uncertainty in global oil markets.
This too from the Daily Telegraph:
"The more they looked at the intelligence and the information they had, the more pessimistic they have become about what could be achieved on the operational front by military action," said Dan Goure, a Pentagon adviser. "Military strikes might only set the programme back a couple of years, but the current thinking is that it is just not worth the risks."A political rethink has also begun in Israel, where security policy is linked to its status - never publicly admitted - as the region's only nuclear state.
Looks like zionists are beginning to realize that a strike on Iran will mean the end - both for the current US government and for israel, in general.
Truth Seeker-- Finally some generals are growing balls!!!! They should send divisions of heavily armed marines to these right wing neo-con thinktanks and arrest them all for domestic terror starting with the aei..etc...
