“I don’t know.”

Good.

Stew on it.

Your boss too.

……And as for his controllers, I hope they each choke on the front ends of their very own designated Tomahawks.

Asked directly whether Israel would alert the United States ahead of time if it chose to go forward with military action, Dempsey replied flatly: “I don’t know.”

Who’s Dempsey ?

C’mon…… Really ?

Is it Patrick Dempsey the race car driver/actor ?

What would he have to do with Israel smacking the snot out of Iran ?

It can’t be The General…… No way.

Yes, it’s General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs Of Staff, United States Armed Forces. The highest-ranking military officer in America…… and in the position for two months.

He said the United States was convinced that sanctions and diplomatic pressure was the right path to take on Iran, along with “the stated intent not to take any options off the table” – language that leaves open the possibility of future military action.

“I’m not sure the Israelis share our assessment of that. And because they don’t and because to them this is an existential threat, I think probably that it’s fair to say that our expectations are different right now,” Dempsey said in an interview as he flew to Washington from London.

Asked whether he was talking about the differences between Israeli and US expectations over sanctions, or differences in perspective about the future course of events, Dempsey said: “All of the above.” He did not elaborate. He also did not disclose whether he believed Israel was prepared to strike Iran.

To all in the armed services of The United States and to those who came before you: My sincere condolences on the complete lack of leadership – some would say gross negligence, incompetence, dereliction of duty and worse – currently at the top echelons of our nation’s military capabilities and civilian governance.
