I contend that Iran/Syria were in the plan from day one of the Iraq invasion.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Interesting thought process. Catch the oil fields and play defense against all Iranian forces that come against them.

I think it's more to avoid a disastrous cut off of oil supplies to Western Europe and Japan more than say, China.

I don't think that we'll have any Iranian forces attacking us in an organized manner; we’ll not get into that. They will be decimated by air, west to east.

I think if we decimate their nukes and military infrastructure, say, in a month or two of an air war, the regime will be taken over by left-over military who, together with the people, didn't want to be humiliated and broke over Iraq and the nuke madness. At least, that's what I hope.

If the regime survives intact, it will have a rough time keeping order and the assassinations will take a heavy toll on them.

we needed more firepower than a single B1-B could carry

Fascinating. What in hell was their target? Considering the B1 carries a considerably greater bomb load than the BUF, and one B1 was not enough, they must have plastered a pretty big area!

They were a little vague about that part...

OK, but you still need to keep the persian gulf open. iran has a large number of anti ship missiles hidden in places along the gulf coast - hard to detect, small, mobile, can pop out and start detroying supertankers at will.

Maybe Biden and Murtha will make a hasty trip to Tehran to apologize. Or stay as human shields.

I vote for human shields!!! LOL

The Bidet will be used, as it should, for the mullahs to wash their filthy asses. As for Abu SCAM al Murthawi, few hundred thousand dollars will do the bidding, Biditting, or Bidening, if you will!

Well, we can convey supertankers out and just run forces along the coast and declare a free firezone along that point. Hell, maybe we should just build a pipeline from western Iran up to the Black Sea through Kurdistan.

You RAT bastards will get no say, the 60-day CIC powers before you can control anything. You and your MSM fifth column will lose and that, by definition is an AMERICAN win!

Just to add to your comments.....

I could have misheard the account and as I said, I saw B1s on the video NOT B2s.

No doubt about it. Only in America, one can be a traitor and is untouchable according to the ever-elastic First Amendment Protection Plan!

Thank you for the link.

I saw B1s on the accompanying video. I don't know if FOX was confused or let the cat out of the bag.

Accidentally on purpose? If we're sending a message we would want to make sure it's read.
