Taking out IRAN would not be any more difficult than taking on Iraq...we did not use all the resourses we could have then and we will not need NUKES Now...our conventional capability now is even more awsome now...
God bless our Troops...rain Hell on our enemies!
I like the way you think.
Rain Hell on our enemies. That had to be like an Ike comment or something. None the less....Your right.
We have enough smart weapons, cruise missles and the like to wreak havoc on Iran. This nation building stuff is just hog-warsh.
Sorry to dampen your analysis, but it would be:
1. We already effectively controlled the one part of Iraq with difficult terrain--Iraqi Kurdistan--at the onset of Op. Iraqi Freedom, thanks to the
pro-US Kurdish autonomous region under the protection of the no-fly zone.
By contrast much more of Iran is mountainous, and we have no significant organized allies in-country.
2. Iran has a much larger population.
Invasion of Iran is a non-starter. The plan has to be to cut off their proxies in Iraq, foment unrest in Iran, and, if needed, hit them with an air campaign directed at their nuclear installations, Revolutionary Guard facilities, and regime leadership.
