General Martin Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acting as a mouthpiece for President Obama (as have former Chiefs of Staff) is saying that he does not know if Iran is making an atomic bomb. He seems to be the only one in the world with such a rosy opinion of Iran! So…he says we are urging Israel not to attack Iran. This is because, “(we) believe we know that the Iranian regime has not decided that they will embark on the capability (to build a nuclear weapon).”
Well…I guess he is about the only person in the world who has doubts about what the Iranians are doing with their nuclear centrifuges and other paraphernalia for working with uranium. For one, the IAEA (the International Atomic Energy Agency) has been blowing the danger whistle for several years about the lurking possibility of an Iranian nuclear weapon. The Israelis, who are much closer to the problem than we are, seem to have no doubts about what the Iranians are doing.
As the Wall Street Journal has pointed out, this message is exactly the wrong message for a high-ranking military expert in the Administration of our country to send. It only emboldens the Iranians to build such a weapon; and it increases the possibility of war in the Middle East.
