The European pacifists have weakened their military forces to the point they can hardly operate. Don't confuse the Bundeswehr with the WWII Wehrmacht.

If Bush doesn't already have a plan in place to strike Iran I would consider it an impeachable offense.
Now, all he has to do is keep Senator Rockefeller from visiting the Middle East so he can't use the opportunity to give all the local dictators a heads up on when and how Bush plans to do it.

You think the bundishere could still whuup the frogies?

Only partially correct. They are still a fairly formidable force under very controlled circumstances. Yes, The days of Blitzkreig are over (not necessarily a bad thing) but they still have potent Air Combat Capability. No one is looking at going in and taking over the place, just pasting the crap outta' it. That will spur internal unrest. Europe might just buy in to this. That will spook Syria too.
