...then they won't be "Generals on the ground" anymore and Captain Codpiece won't have to listen to them anymore. The Times reports that a group of top US brass has promised to resign if he (illegally) attacks Iran. According to sources in the British Department of Defence:
"There are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if Bush ordered an attack on Iran...There is simply no stomach for it in the Pentagon, and a lot of people question whether such an attack would be effective or even possible...All the generals are perfectly clear that they don’t have the military capacity to take Iran on in any meaningful fashion. Nobody wants to do it and it would be a matter of conscience for them...“There are enough people who feel this would be an error of judgment too far for there to be resignations." (Emphasis mine.)Of course should it come to this expect the chorus of accusations from the neo-con draft dodging community of "traitors" and "cowards".
