Mullen: Diplomacy Best Approach to End Iran’s Nuclear Proliferation
“Although a U.S. military approach in Iran would hinder Iranian nuclear proliferation, military might isn’t necessarily the best solution, [Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff] Adm. Mike Mullen said today. […] ‘From my perspective that’s the last option’, [Mullen] said. ‘… because both outcomes, [Iran] having [nuclear] weapons and [the United States] striking [Iran], have unintended consequences that are difficult to predict’.”

What we have here is an instance of the ever more frequent muddled thinking and reasoning sweeping the population at large. What is particularly alarming is that such fuzzy logic is ever more frequently occurring at the highest levels of our federal government, which is tasked with assuring our national security.
Yes indeed, both so-called "outcomes", namely "Iran having nuclear weapons" and "the United States or Israel striking Iran", have associated "unintended consequences that are difficult to predict". Nevertheless, as Bill Kristol observed on the "Fox News All-Stars" segment of "Special Report" with Bret Baier (yesterday), the former "outcome" includes Iran having nuclear weapons; the latter does not!
It should be obvious to our top military advisors as well as to our Administration, such as it is, that Iran having nuclear weapons is a Biden F*cking Deal, and as such, the two sets of unintended consequences are, by far, not equivalent!
