US generals ‘will quit’ if Bush orders Iran attack
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...Michael Smith and Sarah Baxter, Washington

He, his followers and anybody else bent on destroying this country can go straight to HELL!!!!!!!!! We'll even provide you with a one way ticket there.
Contrary to popular belief the military is not stupid, just the bureaucrats that like to send them off to die for their financial gain. Screw that!!! Brings our troops home.

The Military would not rise up if there wasn't call to,they are trained to obey there commander. That was very big thing for them to do.Standing up against ""The Man""This wasn't about 9/11, it was about something else.
They know truth that the public don't and NEVER will know. I support these men 100%. This would not happen for-no good reason!
Military people are not just in a job, it is there way of life, to be a Gen. that is years, and having respect for authority, leaving there family to do their duty to this country. By no means should this be taken lightly, they didn't get there positions being a sissy, or rebellious, I would love to hear what they really had to say!!

They are right . To stage a strike against Iran should be considered a reckless attack. We had no business going after Iraq, and we sure in the H*LL should stay out of Iran!
Automatically this type of betrayal could be grounds for court marshall, but in view of the circumstances they are 100% right.
We want the "wars" to end, we want Bin Laden caught and killed.
Would it have made sense when Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan, that we called war against Russia because we wanted to? I think not.
I hope these Generals & Admirals words are heard, they know first hand what it takes to fight and win a war.
Our Prez is clueless in regards to war!
If they are replaced for their actions, then Bush should be impeached!
Bush has proven to us many of times he is not mentally fit to hold the highest office of this Country!

they gained't pass to conflict against one yet another. the U. S. and Iran are enjoying observe video games and attempting to coach one yet another their impression and power in the area, it is all. i would not doubt that many generals could renounce if Bush is going with the aid of with a plan to attack Iran. they'd not be seen as traitors. in actuality, this administration would not be supported in any respect by utilising the yankee human beings if an attack on Iran exceeded off. Iran is turning out to be (and is) a important power in the area and the U. S. could desire to settle for that whether it potential that the U. S. could have a harder time doing notwithstanding they opt for to do in the middle East. Iran is already in the potential of springing up extra stable alliances with Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia (from what I understand), Russia, China, the Palestinian communities (fantastically Hamas that's seen as a terrorist team by utilising loads of the international), alongside with different international locations i'm advantageous. significant: Is absolutely everyone involved in a objective is to create a database on the middle East and create reconciliation and a peace technique yet i choose the human beings's help!!!!!! If sure, make me your touch and ask and answer my questions with regard to the middle East. it may be remarkable!

They should be dismissed for getting involved in political issues. Part of their responsibility is to support the President while in uniform and not speak on political issues. They can resign anytime they want. To begin with poor planning by generals and admirals put us in this mess. A shakeup of the top commands could do more good than harm.

More media bullshit and UK at that. The President has stated repeatedly we are not going to attack Iran. This also requires congress to be involved and there has been no word out of them either. Quit falling into the media trap. I will give you ulcers and drain precious brain cells.

If they feel that strongly against attacking, and they aren't aware of anything better they could do from the inside, then of course they should quit.
Even if I were FOR the attack, I wouldn't want anyone on board who was against it!

Never has our military faced such ridiculous dilemma's based on the delusion's of their commander. Don't be suprised if those same generals aren't replaced very soon--in favor of "asskissing partisan Hacks"!!!

It is a terrible state of affairs when your military doesn't have faith in it's Commander-In-Chief!
The facade that Bush&Co have put on their agenda is made of glass and many more are looking through it!!!

its about freaking time someone in Washington stands up for what's right...I'm glad to see that not everyone in the government is as reckless as Bush.
