Let 'em know we're coming. They can either shoot at our planes, in which case they become part of the enemy camp, or they can get out of our way.

Tough times call for tough stances. Either lend a hand or stay out of the way. Doing otherwise gets you on the "bad guy" list.

Lets face it, they can't blast everyone at once or can you? Rather, have a priority list and you have to figure that once Iraq, Aghan and Syria are out of the way, Iran will have its place in the nuclear sun or we will see the radical moslem government overthrown. Take your pick.

Iran – which lies between Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf, where many U.S. forces are located – will not allow the United States to use its airspace to attack Afghanistan, Iran's Foreign Ministry said Thursday.

Oh, pretty please?

Regrettably not. Its probably circulating on late night TV promos for songs of the 60s (or before?). Before my time - I was either not around, or was watching Bugs Bunny every Saturday. Now its only when my wife isn't around :>)

We won't need Iran.
From the Washington Post

American warplanes began flying overseas from U.S. bases yesterday as the Pentagon ordered dozens of fighters, bombers and other aircraft to the Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean and -- in an unprecedented move -- the two former Soviet republics of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, Defense Department officials said...

You are either with us or against us. Stand in line with Iraq. Who wants to be next?

So if Mexico, Venezuela, and Norway and Britian (the North Sea) refuse to just give us their oil, to make us less dependent on the Mid East where we may have to alienate other countries, do we get to bomb the living cr-p out of them, because they are "against us"?

Or maybe have the some of the first wave "accidentally" take out Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear weapons research facilities.

Now there's a shock. I thnk they're getting a bit concerned about the US using their airspace to attack them. I'm sure they're on the list.
