Hijacking US Foreign Policy by Generals

David Petraeus in his interview with CNN called Iran government as thugocracy. Apart from the bad languages that the General used we can trace that the comments and opinions which the United States commanders are giving about Iran is escalating. This is of course is a signal. It means that the US non military officials like the State Department or the White House have been undermined by the Pentagon and the status of US military has increased in US foreign policy. Of course the US officials should be concerned about; this did not even happen during Bush neo conservative administration.
What is important in the regard of US-Iran relations is that such matter can exacerbate the situation because the US does not have the true understanding from Iran and of course the US commanders’ perception from Iran is much more beyond from Iran’s realities. It can definitely endanger the US interests in the region and can push it into a more chaotic situation. On the other hand it can be a signal to Iran that emphasizes on the possibility of an attack. In this case certainly the Obama's foreign policy which has been hijacked by the Generals like Petraeus, Michael Mullen, McChrystal etc enters into the dire which situation which can topple down the democrats sooner than they perceive.
