Thanks. Google Image is a great thing.

I hope all is well with you my friend.

Iran is making a fatal error if you ask me. They're confusing the fact that we haven't done anything with the hope that we can't do anything.

We have something like 5 to 7% of our total combat power currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. God help the Iranians if we ever decide to throw say 40% or so at them.

There wouldn't be enough of their armed forces left to sweep up in a dustpan.

Great to see you about again.

"Depends on if they attack us first. If they're stupid enough to do that, the President will make sure they get just what they deserve."

I wish Bush would give them what they have deserved since 1979.

"Whe those A-10 wrat hogs come down on his ass , he better find a deep hole."

Yeah... Remember the "Highway of Death" running from Kuwait toward Baghdad?

Wars are to kill people and break things and few things do it better and quite up close and personal than the A-10 Warthog!!! (don't be callin 'em "wrat hogs" please)(grin)(it's unbecoming)

What a headline.Iran is doing a lot of chest thumping.I'd estimate our airforce/navy alone could neutralize the Iranian military within 48 hours.

Commander of Iran's ground force said military capabilities of his troops are at such a high level that the no air forces in the region has the needed capability to confront the Iranian army.

Commander meet the family ....

And this probably be the last thing you see ....

And if you really piss us off .... we'll send in the secret weapons

And finally ... we're working on this ... your welcome to volunteer as test targets.

With all this arm chair war talk going on this thread not one of you picked up the most important part of this General's statement:

"The General also reiterated that the missile units will become more operational as of Sunday, saying that the ground force will start launching different types of remote-controlled missiles as of the next stage of the maneuver."

Its coming! Tomorrow starts the show. Jerusalem's sky will be lit up.
