He Should Not Have To Give This Warning
And he would not have to give a warning like this if people like John Murtha were not so intent on partisan political gain. In order to counter the irresponsible statements of Murtha, General John Abizaid warned today that any country that believed that the US Military was stretched too thin would be making a "dreadful" mistake.
General John Abizaid, head of the US Central Command, would not comment in an interview with CNN on US contingency planning for military options against Iran.
But he warned against underestimating US military might in the region.
"We've got 200,000 in my area of operation. Not all of our sea power, not all of our air power, by any stretch of the imagination, is committed to my area," he said.
"Any opponent that would think that we're over-stretched and we can't deal with our military obligations would be making a dreadful mistake," he said.
If people like the stupid and irresponsible Murtha would not release information specifically designed to undermine the US military, Abizaid would not have to warn the thugs of the world not to try anything.
