A military strike on Iran could have the unintended consequence of stirring nationalist sentiment to the benefit of Tehran's hard-line government, U.S. General David Petraeus told Reuters.

What do you think the effect wouuld be, if all the Iranian Radio/TV/ phone/satellite jamming stations were blown into pieces, but power plants and cell towers were left untouched?
Weapons of Mass Destruction.
It is just as likely that the Iranian people will blame their gov’t for inciting the attack, & take that opportunity to depose Imanutjob & the mullahs. If Israel can kill some of the Iranian leadership & the Republican Guard, the Iranian people's job will be that much easier.
If Israel is gonna do it, & I believe they will (Obama wouldn't do it in a thousand years), they need to target the head of the beast to kill it for good.
Petraeus and the rest of the muzzie in chiefs sycophants are going to be mighty surprised when elements of the US Military decide to visit some hope and change on DC.
WTF are you talking about?
Looks like StormFront keyboard commandos
( Petraeus says strike on Iran could spark nationalism ) .. translated : Our hands are tied by the rules of engagement and by the CIC, so we can’t do a thing about Iran sending a nuke towards Israel.
Good grief! What is wrong with you???
You sound like a deranged Paulbot.
I don’t recall widespread discussion of that for years before 2003.
AS John Bolton has said, we should be doing covert
work with the students and others who have been in the streets.
We should have been involved in that long ago. This is the biggest opportunity to help regime change from within since Solidarnosc in Poland. Now if GWB did indeed have such an operation - well John Bolton’s comment pretty much negates that, unless even Bolton was not privy to such an operation (or he’s not indicating such). Now we have a thug in chief doing no more than strong words and a wink.
ReyTurner - wonder if his screename refers to Turner Diaries.
Anyhow IBTZ! (for Turner, not for Badass)
Hitting Iran will only prove or further prove to them why they should acquire nuclear weapons capability.
This is why we need to get more Republicans in congress to push the agenda to win the war in the various theaters.
Push agendas, inform, The people who have a clue will be on board.
Who saifd anything about limited? I talking sinking every naval vessel, destroying every naval port and dock, taking out every military air base, shooting down every combat aircraft and IRGC helicopter, destroying every missle, rocket, and anti-aircraft platform that shows it’s radar, destroying every military base, taking out every IRGC and Basji barack in the country, every command and control asset that they activate...but leave all civilian targets such as gass lines, power plants cell towers alone. Give warning and then blow the crap out of the IRNA and IRIB...See how well they can keep the Iranian people under their boot *then*.
We don’t need to strike Iran.
What we need to do is let the growing faction of Iranians fed up with radicalized Islam ready to fight know that they have support.
Europe too needs to step up and get behind them as well.

It’s a darn good thing for us, isn’t it, that our troops are led by Gen. Patraeus, rather than quaint old dinosaurs like Gen. Patton. What did he know about winning wars?
“We must be eager to kill, to inflict on the enemy —the hated enemy —wounds, death, and destruction. If we die killing, well and good, but if we fight hard enough, viciously enough, we will kill and live. Live to return home to our family and our girl as conquering heroes — men of Mars.”
— General George Patton
Actually, the right time to go after Iran would have been to support the Shah in 1978 against Khomeini.
Where’s you daughter tonight?
