Mullen Wary of Israeli Attack on Iran

by Ray McGovern

Full Story Online

Phi Beta Iota: We strongly recommend McGovern's article be read in its entirety.  Key points:

1.  US has no mutual defense treaty with Israel and no order to the US military to support Israel is Constitutionally valid without a Senate validation.

2.  Israel will not get away with a USS Liberty atrocity on Admiral Mike Mullen's watch.

3.  Washington is remains a moral and intellectual cesspool with the White House lacking a strategic analytic model, intelligence (decision-support) or any clue as to how to restore democracy and prosperity in America and peace in the rest of the world.   Partisanship–uninformed partisanship–is what runs the White House today and it is NOT WORKING.

4.  C/JCS has the right idea but the wrong company–no one now working in the US national security “establishment” has the combination of brains and integrity to actually propose a strategic analytic model; a reconstruction of secret intelligence so it provides non-secret decision-support to everybody now flying deaf, dumb, and blind in the NCA; and a redirection of the Pentagon so its budget funds the four forces after next–reform can be revenue and jobs neutral!

President Obama is at a fork in the road.  He can stick with business as usual–partisanship, polling, and proxies that pay lip service to concepts like “national security,” or he can commit to creating a national strategy that gets a grip on reality and then connects means, ways, and ends to achieve a prosperous world at peace.  From where we sit, C/CJS is the only person with both the right idea and the courage to speak the truth in public.  Three immediately useful references:
