Sunday Times: US generals threatening to resign if Bush orders and attack on Iran

Times of London via Think Progress:

SOME of America’s most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources.

Tension in the Gulf region has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George Bush leaves office. The Sunday Times has learnt that up to five generals and admirals are willing to resign rather than approve what they consider would be a reckless attack.

Good news if it's true. It's about time some flag officers finally stood up for what they believed and resigned. This is what should have happened in March 2003 when Bush gave the order to attack Iraq.
