With all our boys so close, we can never afford to let them strike first. As with Saddam, as soon as the “shock and awe” starts the iranians troops will start white flagging it big time.
The big talkers think they have safe havens, the average iranian grunt knows he’s going up in smoke. Same with iraqis, I am convinced they has some type WMD that they could have used against our troops, but knew it would result in pure scorched earth on them.
All our enemies remember Pearl Harbor, the reason their leaders end up getting into a war with us is that they are convinced we are paper tigers like klintoon. No way saddam would have let the war start had he known what was coming, especially for him.
Irag nor Irans russki buddies ain’t going to help, because they know we are BAD when pissed.
I understand about the boys being so close...my son is in the Air Force and so is his wife. I think the minute they make a move to strike we will be all over them. I believe also that Bush is lining the ducks in a row with allies that we have had and allies that will be new partners in this as they see what the stakes are for themselves. We are watching them very closely, and I dont believe that their power is as they claim. Why so quiet about Syria if so...they would have struck back at Israel but were left stunned by the depth and unpreparedness of the attack.
