Nice rhetoric but unrealistic. A ground offensive against Iran would require hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which we don't have. Iran knows this and this is why nutjob keeps running his mouth.
You said -- "A ground offensive against Iran would require hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which we don't have. Iran knows this and this is why nutjob keeps running his mouth."
No, I was thinking of the kind of attack that the Israelis said that they were going to do, if necessary -- using nuclear bunker busters. Fly in and fly out. And the U.S. would probably do the same. That's the attack that is coming.
And the surge would be to hold the line in Iraq, against the Iranians, in case they have any foolish ideas afterwards.

I still believe airpower is the answer in Iran.
