Sure, U.S. strikes might set back Tehran&rsquo;s atomic weapons program &mdash; for a while. But the \u00ab\u00a0unintended consequences\u00a0\u00bb of a hit on Iran&rsquo;s nuclear facilities could easily outweigh the benefits of that delay, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen told a forum at Columbia University.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>&raquo;<em>\u00ab\u00a0Iran getting a nuclear weapon would be incredibly destabilizing.
