Obama Defense Dept: We’re Not Going To Attack Iran, And If Israel Tries We Might Shoot Down Their Jets

Mere Rhetoric "America’s top military officer wouldn’t rule the possibility today of U.S. forces firing on Israeli jets, if Israel launched a pre-emptive strike on Iran… a young Air Force ROTC cadet asked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen to respond to a “rumor.” If Israel decided to attack Iran, the speculation went, those jet would need to fly through Iraqi airspace to reach their targets… might U.S. troops shoot down the Israeli jets… Mullen tried to sidestep the question…”I am hopeful that this will be resolved in a way where we never have to answer a question like that.” "  Our history-deprived youth should study up on Vichy France ; Lord, may America never become them.
