Evidently Iran plans on green-lighting itself.

If you’re going to take Iran down you need to do it all the way. Should have done it when we had massive forces in Iraq. Yes it will be difficult, etc. Take Iran and Syria out, insist on more moderate governments.

"The enemy is interested in life, but because of our ideology, no matter if we kill for Allah or be killed on Allah’s path, we are victorious.”

Well call me a cock-eyed optimist, but I see some common ground here and the opportunity for a win-win situation!

An analogy.

A few mosquito's, just some repellent.

Many mosquito's, fog to poison the adults and BT to poison the larvae.

Keep bugging us!

Apparently Iran lacks hangar space...they are requesting to store their entire air force at the bottom of the sea!

Massive EMP attack and blow up every dam in the country. Let the Ayatollahs spend every waking minute worrying about how to feed 30 million people and they'll have no time for more mischief.

Find every mullah in Iran, hang them from lamp poles all over Tehran and Qom. Level every mosque. Leave. Tell them they do NOT want us to come back -- we won't be in as charitable a mood.

I’ll believe this is credible when I hear it from my contacts in Tehran

The majority of the people in Iran are pro western. These people live in mortal fear of their own government and with good cause they are afraid. However, these same people will stand up and fight (particularly the students) if they have a chance of success.

1. Take out the civilian, theocratic and military leadership with air strikes from cruise missles.
2. Take out tanks and armoured carriers that can be used for crowd suppression and any flying military assets they have.
3. Supply the good guys with weapons.
4. Repeat as necessary.

If that happens the phrase Iranian Glass will take on a whole new meaning.

How does this differ from their preparations to down Western airliners in case there is NO attack on their nuclear program?

Why would they need an air force? Given our nonexistent border security, Iran can carry out it's threat from within our borders.

"Massive EMP attack and blow up every dam in the country."

Considering the leadership and political will of the respective nations, I think it far more likely that we'd receive and EMP attack from Iran long before we'd deliver one to them...
