NEW YORK, April 18 (Reuters) – The nation’s top military officer said on Sunday that a U.S. strike against Iran would go “a long way” to delaying its nuclear program but that he considered doing so his “last option” right now.

“Military options would go a long way to delaying it,” Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters after speaking at a forum at Columbia University in New York.

“That’s not my call. That’s going to be the president’s call,” he added. “But from my perspective … the last option is to strike right now.”

    Well a slimy politician knows more than a high ranking military officer. Obama knows what to do there is no need to worry.

      Mullen is for the most part a glorified accountant…IMO

    for solomanpal——-He may be a glorified accountant, but he’s has access to a few folks that are a whole lot more than that. It would appear that he is at least smart enough to listen.
