"a chilling estimation of the overwhelming force that the US would use in the event of any attack on Iran"

MORONS!! It's only 'chilling' to those who are truly on the side of the Islamo-fascists. For those who understand that Iran is a terrorist regime killing our troops and many Iraqis, a terrorist regime bent on domination of the region that can only be blocked but the USA, the prospect of Iran's regime being decapitated is not 'chilling' but a clear necessity.

Enchanté, please do not forget the accent.ALT 130 = é. By the way, the story is probably part of a CIA disinformation move to make the Iranians even more nervous than they already are. Fuggedaboutit.

IMHO, you can also forget about a few days of "shock and awe" in Iran. The place is bigger than all of western Europe put together. Some of the key targets are 1500 miles apart, others are deep underground, others are decoys.

We could put them out of the awl bidness in 48 hours, but an air campaign? 60 days at least ... during which time the bull shiites and their terror cells would be blowing up every ice cream parlor in Toledo.

Nah, the key deal going down is the unspoken Iran/Turkey Alliance to handle the Kurds. One thing the Iranians have is Cash. Funny, but it's something the Turks lack. HMMMM?
