So five or so US generals have threatened to resign if ordered to attack Iran? Isn’t it great that serving generals can openly communicate to Iran the mindset of the USA and lack of resolve of the USA military?
Is it any surprise that their own officers and soldiers openly mutiny against being sent to serve in Iraq? Many would argue that these generals should be arrested and locked up for a long time for revealing such discontent.
This of course strengthens Iran’s resolve to thumb it’s nose at the west and all it’s threats. Iran knows that the west lacks the resolve and guts to carry out any threats, despite what Dick Cheney may have said yesterday. Iran also knows that whatever hot air that spineless and morally bankrupt organisation, the UN, may spout, they can just ignore it.
The Iranian leadership continues to occasionally throw into the public relations pot for gullible western consumption that they are being persecuted and very reasonable and open to discussing the suspension of their nuclear programme if everybody else also suspends theirs.
What masters of negotiation the Iranians are. Particularly now that they are negotiating from a position of control, knowledge and consequently strength, unlike their opponents the USA and the west who have already revealed all their cards in the free media and now have no credible threats left to use! I wonder how long it will be before the west reaps the potentially horrific consequences of this insane game!
