Mullen: ‘Nuclear Iran’ an Existential Threat to Israel
November 10th, 2009
Speaking today at the National Press Club, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen declared that “it’s very clear to me that a nuclear weapon in Iran is an existential threat to Israel.”
Adm. Mullen has repeatedly met with Israel’s military chief Gen. Ashkenazi, and says foiling Iran’s nuclear program is “the number one priority for Israel.” This has been underscored in recent days as Israel has repeatedly threatened to attack Iran.
But while Admiral Mullen said he still wanted President Obama to continue with diplomacy, he was fully prepared to see the US attack Iran to prevent a nuclear Iran from “undermining the stability” of the Middle East. At the same time, Mullen admitted that attacking Iran itself “would also be incredibly destabilizing.”
Though Western officials have repeatedly issued warnings about Iran’s nuclear program, the IAEA has repeatedly certified that none of Iran’s uranium has been enriched to anywhere near weapons-grade level and that none of it is being diverted to anything but civilian use.

When do the Americans wake up to the threat of Israeli nuclear weapons positioned in their own country? Is it dozens or hundreds? When we look at all the missing and lost nuclear materials in America, it must be one of the most dangerous places on Earth. The Americans were worried after the fall of the Soviet Union that the Soviet’s nuclear stockpiles could be compromised. There were a few instances. But compared to America? How many decades has Israel been spying on the Americans? How many nuclear secrets have been stolen? When we look at the vote on the Goldstone Report by the American Lawmakers, either they are totally immoral, been bought out, or maybe they realize they are nuclear hostages. Of course if it was agreed on, the Americans are subject to much of the same condemnation for their own war crimes. Israel will be aquiring F-35 fighter jets. Israel will pay $135 million per jet if it buys 25, and $100 million if it buys 75. Where is this money coming from? The American taxpayer most likely. More weapons for Israel to commit more war crimes with no doubt. Iran is the last piece left in the Caspian Basin that is not under the US/Zionist control. Nuclear weapons have been seen as a deterient against the American/Zionist Empires expansion. But it would be suicide for Iran to launch a nuclear attack. It is not logical. There is a true need for alternate power sources, such as nuclear in Iran. I’m sorry that they don’t understand that wind and solar power would have been a better alternative. As China is one of the leading manufactures of these componets for these technologies, it would have been wiser. But back to the hostage situation of America by nuclear threat from Israel form inside. Think about it, ponder the reality. What are the American options? The whole country has been infiltrated by the Mossaad. How much control of America is by Zionist and Zionist interests? What would it take for the American people to wake up and throw these muderous bums out? If, or when, a nuclear weapon is detonated in America, look to both events in Washington and Israel. But by then it will be too late.
