he he, there is NO WAY they would win, I realize this, regardless of their numbers, but my point is:
They have WAY TOO MANY people to just send in 1/4 million Americans to actually control any area and leave open our back door to the already present Iraqi/Jordanian/Saudi terrorists in Iraq right now.
We would need an ADDITIONAL 1/4 million troops and planes...maybe not planes, but you understand my point.
We havent got an additional 1/4 million troops ready to go any time soon.
Iran knows this, we know this, and in my opinion, it is reason enough for the draft, or at least a relaxing of re-enlistment standards so old fogies like me can go back in!
You don't need to invade or control any of their land: what you need to do is to bog them down, take down the roads, bridges, railroads, or any other means their military uses for supply and transport. Also, wipe out their air force and gain air supremacy, and wipe out their communications. In short, do everything you can to paralyze their military and command/control structure.
Then you foment a rebellion from the inside, when their military is unable to respond. Even better if you can use air supremacy to surgically take out any military units that might seek to move against any internal rebellion.
Well I don't think we would invade with ground troops, we don't want their territory. We will just put them back into the ston age and let them fight their own battles with their student oposition. We would probably never have to commit groud troops.
