We may be taxed by events in Iraq, but, if needed we would step up to the plate.
A diplomatic strike! Yeah, that's the ticket!
A blockade is a peaceful solution.
Carpet bomb them with U.N. resolutions and they will change their attitude in a hurry!
IAF will take care of this. We just need to shut up and stay out of their way. Maybe be can offer some red cross aid.
We have a military unsurpassed in the history of the world. Forgetting our land and sea based assets for the moment, we have enough destructive firepower on the 20-24 nuke submarines to destroy any number of bad guys countries. Each sub carries 24 missiles and each missile carries 10 warheads. Do the math, 24 boats x 24 missiles per boat x 10 warheads per missile = 5760 nuke warheads, each with more destructive power then the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now keep in mind this is NOT including our Navy or land based assets.
This is the reason I personally believe no Nation will EVER attack us with nukes. If they do their destruction will be both swift and total.
Of course the nutbag ragheads are a different story but I believe if the terror supporting nations are put on notice that if we are nuked by one of the independent animal groups that They (M.E. nations) will be held responsible and will pay a terrible price. Of course we will have ample evidence on hand before we annihilate anyone, this also will not be a problem.
The US has ample air and naval power to strike anywhere.
It would also have the power to quickly win wars and restore the peace if it weren't for the propaganda war waged by leftist politicians and media!
The fact that France is falling in line HELPS in achieving a dimplomatic solution!
The irony is that because you had the West fractured and Germany and France against the raq intervention is what caused the Ba’ath reguime to assume we would take no action. It emboldened them.
As Western nations turn up the heat and stand united, an Iran is probably even going to back down. The economic consequences of a North America and Europe isolating Iran would be devistating. The problem is getting everyone to speak with one voice.
BUMP
This would be the weekly ‘we’re ready and the plan is in place’ thread. It’s good somebody is keeping the plan updated. Hillary! will be needing it.
JUST DO IT ALREADY....”The bombing/air-strike/manned&unmanned starts in five minutes.”

I am worried about this recent agreeing behavior of the French. It would be nice to be able to trust it, but I don't just yet. So much of a complete turn-around is a bit unsettling. I think anything they are doing now to act like an ally might just be a front for what they really want: to advance their desires to get the US to approve and join the EU in exchange for any help we might get from them. Just my thoughts now.
Bttt
Before we drop the big one on Iran, it would be a wise move to get that joker Fallon out of Centcom, because not only is he on record, stating that he thinks that Iran could be a ‘stabilizing’ influence in the Middle East (try and imagine George S. Patton saying that about the Soviets and Eastern Europe?), Fallon was more than happy to play footsie and talk about ‘cooperation’ with the ChiComs when he was in charge of the Pacific Fleet.
He’s the kind of Admiral that Jimmy Carter would absolutely love, the kind that will look for ANY reason not to take out our enemies like the threats they are. If Fallon wants to be a diplomat (and his statements suggest that), he should resign, retire and go sign up with Condi Rice and her merry little band of appeasers over at State.
We should not give iran so much as a band aid... let the rooskies and chicoms feed and clothe them.

What you are seeing in France is the difference between gore and President Bush.

I can’t give the exact timing of an attack on Iran but, I can give an indication as to when it might happen.
When we see a great exodus of American troops leaving Iraq, know the attack on Iran will be soon.
For some reason?/ for which I can’t understand, it’s as if Iran wants America to attack them.
