Iran has 100s of land-based mobile Silkworm anti-ship cruise missiles, just made to close the straits of Hormuz to shipping, and wreck the world economy in response to an attack.
They also have 100s of mobile SCUD missiles they will fire at the Saudi oil loading terminals. Once this happens, a "state of war" will be declared to exist in the region by the insurance companies, and they will cancel the policies of the shipping lines we depend on to bring the world its oil. Crude-laden tankers will not sail through "missle alley" without insurance.
I just don't want folks to think this will be cheap or easy. Our choice will be very bad or even worse. There will be no easy solution to this coming crisis.
Remember, it is Ahmadinawakjob's stated goal to cause a global economic crash, war, and anarchy, out of which will arise his islamic caliphate. He doesn't need to WIN a war to achieve his goal of wrecking the world economy, he just needs to START a war and disrupt the oil flow from the PG for a few weeks or longer.
Yes, we may have to go in to take out the Iranian nuclear sites. I just want folks to understand that the "Iran problem" may not be solved after an easy 12 hour air campaign. If Ahmadinewakjob has mobile missile crews in hiding all over southern Iran, waiting for many days or weeks to fire at PG shipping, we may see global economic chaos and ruin.
Remember Desert Storm, when we were trying mightily to find and destroy Iraq's mobile SCUDs? We never found or stopped them, the SCUDs were fired on every day of the month of Desert Storm until the end. And the giant SCUDs need to be fueled and raised to vertical before firing. The Iranian Silkworms are smaller, easier to hide and move, and are fired quickly from the horizontal.
