WASHINGTON (AP) -- An Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities would be a high-risk move that could destabilize the Middle East, the Pentagon's top military officer said Wednesday.

At a Defense Department press conference, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, refused to say what Israeli leaders told him during meetings last week about any intentions to strike Iran.

But asked whether he was concerned Israel would strike before the end of the year, he said: "This is a very unstable part of the world and I don't need it to be more unstable."

I completely disagree with the Admiral, the Israelis will do what we wont, even thought we could fight a 3rd tier. An Admiral of the 5th fleet even came out and this is nothing more than the joint chiefs playing down what the admiral of the 5th said yesterday.

The Israeli strike would be high-risk? Well, gooolloly! Any military action is high-risk unless you have a situation like Musollini had against the Ethiopians.:rolleyes :
