" How can Israel "handle" Iran "pretty easily"?"

According to what I've read, Israel can field a 1000000 man force. They can also fly more sorties than the U.S. can in that part of the world.

They have kicked Arab a$$ before and they can do it again. All we do is get in the way.

Iranians are not Arabs.

You have not looked at the map, have you. I don't think you know Middle East geogrpahy.

Israel can't reach, Iran. Iraq is in the way. Saudi Arabia is in the way. Syria is in the way. Jordan is in the way. Iran is way too far away for Israel "to handle" Iran (and, vice versa). Do you know how many miles Iran is from Israel? Do you know how big Iran is? Do you know how many miles the center of Iran is from Israel? Do you know how many miles the northern and eastern edges of Iran is from Israel?

Re "sorties"--you are wrong. The distance to Iran is so far that what aircraft can reach Iran do not have much loiter time. You can't effectively attack Iran from Israel conventionally. A quick tactical nuke strike--yes(even that is problematic in some parts of Iran). A sustained air campaign--can't be done.

Your problem is that you don't know the geography of the Middle East.
