The country's defense minister, Ahmad Vahidi said that the 90 warships stationed in the Persian Gulf -- a waterway crucial for world oil supplies -- would become targets if Iran was attacked.
Vahidid said that the vessels included submarines, aircraft carriers and destroyers, according to comments published by the semi-official Fars news agency.

If we had a President with some balls, we would have already nuked those Persian pricks.

They are targets already. But will they become casualties?

Tehran needs an external enemy to get the population’s mind off the internal problems. SOS from the Mullahs.

If and when Iran is attacked the first things that are going to goo 'kaboom' are those Silkworm sites along the Gulf.

I believe the last President would have replied:”Bring it on!”
And backed it up.
[Which is why they didn’t say such stuff then....]

This MIGHT ultimately be Bush’s biggest failure—time will tell.

That’s a fine strategy as long as a mission is conducted to evacuate all of the fine looking Persian chicks prior to launch.

Yup. Bush should have know better than to leave Iran for Obama to dither over. Even if Israel were nuked, Obama would do zilch. I guess ol’ GWB was worried about his legacy.

I don’t know bro, the major cities in Iran are pretty westernized. I’ve seen pics that would put American broads to shame.

Nice that you two Arm Chair Generals have decided to apply what you have learned from your Xbox games to the real world.

I went to school before the downfall of the Shah and we had some stunning Persian women.

Shocking as it is, once upon a time women in both Teheran and Kabul used to wear miniskirts...
