But aren’t the troops overstretched and need to come home? That’s what he has said before.

The shortest route by which to move US forces deployed in Iraq to Afghanistan is - through Iran.

It would be a bloody fight, but one in which the relative merits of the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran would come face to face with the most technologically advanced military machines history has ever known.

There is no such thing as a “surgical strike”, there shall always be collateral damage. The good thing would be, almost all the collateral damage would be on THEIR territory, one of the better strategies for fighting any battle.

The other strategy is to win, quicker the better.

And who knows, the bulk of the Iranians may even welcome the liberation. But that is not the objective. Gaining swift transit from Iraq to Afghanistan was the original goal, and mission creep should be suppressed to the degree possible.

The world supposedly hates the US and GWB, but that is largely a fabrication.

However, can you imagine other world leaders having to deal with pompous, arrogant ass? Their hatred for us will grow by leaps and bounds if this twerp is elected POTUS.
