TONY JONES: But how do you go to war with Iran? It is literally beyond the capacity of the United States at the present moment.

No it isn't.

We have perhaps 5% of our total combat capability engaged at the moment. If we had the political will we could reduce the militaries of both Iran and Syria to rubble, pink mist, and ashes inside of 30 days using nothing but conventional means.
