Iran has warned that it will strike Western warships stationed in the Gulf if it is attacked over its nuclear program.

If we had a President with some balls, we would have already nuked those Persian pricks.

“... would become targets...”

They are targets already. But will they become casualties?

Tehran needs an external enemy to get the population’s mind off the internal problems. SOS from the Mullahs.

If and when Iran is attacked the first things that are going to goo 'kaboom' are those Silkworm sites along the Gulf.

I believe the last President would have replied:”Bring it on!”

And backed it up.

[Which is why they didn’t say such stuff then....]

This MIGHT ultimately be Bush’s biggest failure—time will tell.

That’s a fine strategy as long as a mission is conducted to evacuate all of the fine looking Persian chicks prior to launch.

Yup. Bush should have know better than to leave Iran for Obama to dither over. Even if Israel were nuked, Obama would do zilch. I guess ol’ GWB was worried about his legacy.

I don’t know bro, the major cities in Iran are pretty westernized. I’ve seen pics that would put American broads to shame.

You may lay that at Carter's feet.

Nice that you two Arm Chair Generals have decided to apply what you have learned from your Xbox games to the real world.

I went to school before the downfall of the Shah and we had some stunning Persian women.

And Reagan’s, and Bush the Elder’s, Clinton’s and Bush Jr’s...

Spinelessness towards the muslims is sadly not merely a leftist trait...

Shocking as it is, once upon a time women in both Teheran and Kabul used to wear miniskirts...
