Iran could not defeat Iraq. Nuff said.
This part is probably true, regardless..
Iran wants war. They feel like if we invade Iran they can get the Muslims and other anti-american countries to fight us. We're in for some interesting times ahead.
i like the "almost" part
This would really be a stupid move. If they retreat to their bases, their bases will be utterly destroyed. This scenario completely leaves out America's greatest strength; Air Power. To be able to stand back and destroy an army from the air, and then let our world class army and marines take the remnant, is totaly playing into our hands.
Another very important factor the "Arab News" leaves out is the Iranian people themselves. So the mullahs think if it gets hot with them we wouldn't arm the students? I recall last year the students hung some of them from the trees. Armed with hundreds of thousands of Saddam's surplus Kalishnikovs, the pro-Democracy forces might be too much for the mullahs. Instead of hoping Hollywood and the American left rise up against Bush, they better worry about their own downtrodden people!
So the Iranians want nuclear power...I say let's give it to 'em. A couple of well placed warheads ought to do it.
"Anti-Bush marches in Washington and dozens of other cities with Hollywood figures and other celebrities calling for Bush to be overthrown."
"If they call for the overthrow of the elected head of government, it will be alright to shoot them."
LOL..I liked this part:
Bush's successor acknowledges Iran's new status and sends Bill Clinton, who apologized to Iran for "our past misdeeds" in 2000, to Tehran to offer another formal apology on behalf of Bush's successor and offer Ahmadinejad "a grand bargain".
I guess he is planning on a democrat win so he can 'destroy' Israel. Good grief..what a loser. Time to get to work on those nuclear bunker busters.
oh its pretty much alright now isn't it?
What a bunch of BS. The Iranians fought the Iraqis for 10 years and barely eeked out a draw. The Americans overran Iraq in 3 weeks. If we attack Iran, there will be regime change. (Not that I am predicting an attack).
attacks against the Mash'had bunker for fear of collateral damage to the "holy shrine" of the imam a few hundred yards away.

Concrete-filled bombs are perfect for this, no collateral damage to worry about. They isolate upon the impact area.
Yes - and the students have already been revolting IIRC.
Iraqis had low morale this time round. Iran is fresh.. they have not been pounded for years..
not without iraq resorting to chemical weapons
I think he was making fun of Peter Jennings Canadian accent.
oh its pretty much alright now isn't it?
Not quite, as Claire Wolfe says, we are in the Between time.
Soon though, soon. Eventually as their type always does,
they will cross the line, then it will be time.

Fluorescent green glass sure must be beautiful from space.
What do you guys think the reaction would be by the majority of Iraqi Shiites if we invaded Shiite Iran?
Good point. It will take 4 weeks.
