I wonder if the Iranians saw those pictures of the mountainsides in Afghanistan being vaporized by a single B52 working with a FAC on the ground? I should think that any Iranian incursion would be very small as a result.
B52s coupled with A10s for close air support/on station precision clearing...the Iranians will just beg for us not to follow them home (which we should just do).
The last two paragraphs sum it up quite well:
“......if we seize this opportunity to smash an Iranian Revolutionary Guards offensive with massive force, we could send a message that will make Iran’s leaders think twice before messing with us again.
It’s about time we made Iran’s leaders pay a price for killing Americans and undermining America’s allies. Here is a terrific opportunity to get that job done.”
And get it done we must, before we take the chance that a dim wins in 08 and we surrender.
