I like your take better, but we only have 120K forces in theater. Not a lot of boots on the ground should Iran come knocking. Hope you are right.

A katyusha rocket landed Thursday next to Kibbutz Gesher Haziv in the Western Galilee. There were no casualties or other damage.



This is the fifteenth rocket to land on the area since early Thursday morning. (Ahiya Raved)

IMHO, our air force assetss throughout the region, our naval forces, and ourt tanks would make mence meat of any organized, military effort by the Iranians.

We just could not go in and occupy Iran. I don't think we would need to if we bloodied their nose real bad. I believe there are enough people opposed to the mullahs that they would implode.

Since Iraq shifted into a house-to-house guerrilla war, the Navy and Air Force have largely been out of the game. If the war broadens, they're back in the mix. A carrier group or two, backed up by B2s out of Diego Garcia, have a way of making an impression.
