What do you guys think the reaction would be by the majority of Iraqi Shiites if we invaded Shiite Iran?

[PajamaTruthMafia]

I have an alternate US strategy.......

[Thunder90]

Don't forget this:

North Korea puts it's nuclear missiles on high alert

US takes out one of NK's nuclear facilities, and is showen on TV as a "US Pre-Emptive Nuclear attack"

North Korea then launches artellery barrage across the DMZ, destroying Saigan and other border towns.

If they don't follow the path of Bulgaria.

Nonsense. Fiction.

Why would Iran want to enter into a conflict with the most powerful nation?

The source is also not credible.

[dr_who_2]

They could start it, but they wouldn't finish it.

They are more likely preparing for a revolution.

[danmar]

Whoa...I am shaking in my boots right now, thinking what Iran can do to us. Lord have mercy!

BTW how is our stock pile of 1945 "blind" bombs at the present time?
Are we up to specs usage wise?

Persians as well as Mesopotamians were great warriors serving great Empires. Not today...Two Great Empires have been taken over by Arabs who display only disdain for the human race and history and cowardly killing innocent people in the name of some self made God (which in turns proved to be a murderer of the first grade also).

If Iran wants nuclear weapons ~ we have something for moonbat a$$es ~ Bump!

Incredible though it may sound there are signs that Tehran may be preparing for a military confrontation with the United States, and has convinced itself that it could win.

It's incredible that they think they could win? NOT The level of deception that exists in that mind set is almost beyond comprehension. Just like all those Afghanis at the start of the conflict there; armed to the teeth with swords and clubs, gleefully anticipating beating the snot out of us, when we can put a missle through the grill of a jeep or window on a house.

The Islamic Republic is a fragile structure in a zone of political earthquakes. Logically, the last thing it should want is war. Nevertheless, former President Muhammad Khatami has warned that Tehran may be boxing itself into a position in which it will either have to surrender or fight.

Khatami's a smart guy - why would he say something like this?

[Reborn]

Excellent post! Ever since Ahmadinejad was elected I've felt that this is going on full speed over there.

[iThinkBig]

"The diplomatic tussle over Iran's nuclear plans goes to the Security Council that will fail to take a decision thanks to Russian and Chinese vetoes."

This is going to be a reality. If China and Russia were our friends, as some think, they would back us up and make sure Iran did not build nukes. But since they are not, they would love to go and see us burn our military resources on Iran.

The US is also expected to shrink from attacks against the Mash'had bunker for fear of collateral damage to the "holy shrine" of the imam a few hundred yards away.

Cathedrals were torn to shreds in WW II. It is time the United States starts fighting wars to win instead of playing games.

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".

That's hard to believe! -- that someone would have to send BJ to denounce and apologize for the the U.S. He'd be in a race with the other Democrat ex-president to see who could get there first

[kabar]

LOL. The Iranians couldn't even defeat the Iraqis during their eight year war. It was a standoff with the Iranians suffering greater losses. The Iranians may not be Arabs, but they fight like them.
