Exactly. Without air superiority, exposing ground troops in an invasion on our forces in Iraq would be folly.

They may be sitting ducks in some respects, but they did get some of the world's most advanced SAM missile defense systems from Russia recently.Thats where the F-22, B-2, and F-117 come in. As well as HARM missiles and land-attack cruise missiles.

The dropping of the bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't "warning" shots, they were "finishing" shots. They immediately put an end to the war in the Pacific.
The only warning you could say came from that was a warning against the Soviet Union, whom we did not fully trust as "allies." But if that's the case, it clearly did not work.

I have no problem with America announcing to the world, the exact target coordinates in Iran, one hour prior to missile launch.Good. Then any "ring of children" or other civilians left at the targets would, in effect, be murdered by their own government.

I'd bet a dollar to a dime that OBL is sitting with his children in Iran. And OBL and Ahmadejihad know that we know it, and they know that they have nukes, and they know it's getting close to their turn.

I'll assume that is a joke. But if they want to make it easy for us let it be.
To: Hunble
Right now, they need a strong signal, not annhilation..We need the Iranian people to overthrow the regime and mullahs..

All of this stems from Jimmy Carter. If Carter had the guts to back the Shah instead of stabbing him in the back, Iran wouldn't be what it is today. Islamofascism itself wouldn't be in existence. Thank you Jimmah

Getting bogged down in the UN was perhaps our biggest pre-Iraq mistake. Resolution 1441 gave us full authority to invade (like all the 12 resolutions before it did). We already had the authority: there was no need to ask the UN's permission. If they wouldn't help (as they didn't), then they were only failing to enforce their own treaties.

If America or Israel must use nuclear weapons, I would hope that every news agency around the world will have their cameras ready. I want every single person living on Earth to view this event.
For this reason, advance notice should be announced and the exact target coordinates provided.
NEVER MESS WITH AMERICA!

So, an ICBM hit American soil in Alaska and we hear about it from a Korean source? Hmmm.

What if Japan hadn't surrendered? We gave them two times at the brass ring (2 warnings) or they would have had nukes on Tokyo.

That is the best option, but the odds of it happening are slim. Most likely, the Iranian people would be slaughtered by their government in huge quantities.
The Mullahs wouldn't care. Fanatical Islam has no regard for human life.

Good. Then any "ring of children" or other civilians left at the targets would, in effect, be murdered by their own government.EXACTLY!
If everyone has been given prior warning, then any "innocent civilians" that die are no longer our responsibility.

Exactly. It just proved that the UN is a waste of time. Even FRANCE helped to sign 1441 (although they cowered because of their invlvement with oil dealings with Saddam and the oil for palaces program). This time around we should just outright ignore the UN. What I would really like to see is a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran.

But we didn't have any more bombs. That would have been a bluff.
I just can't grasp nuking two cities and incinerating hundreds of thousands of people in an instant as a "warning." I see it as a full-scale extreme act of war designed to make the enemy surrender unconditionally. It worked.

Getting whoever we can to fight alongside us would be a great advantage, but it's not something we have enough time to think about. If (or I should say "when") this strike happens, it will have to happen as fast and quick as possible, with no hesitation. If other countries don't jump on board (as they probably won't), we'll have to do without them. We don't have time to debate this one.

It took us this long to begin finishing this war because of 1)the enemy within America and 2)we played nation building in Iraq instead of utter devastation. Yes, Iran (and Syria by the by) has been the target in between Afghanistan and Iraq all along. Very obvious both in the Axis of Evil context and in the subsequent operations.
