Where are we going to get the money? America is basically broke. How bout the troops? They are in Iraq. Not trying to be a pessimist but these are legitimate questions.
Well this seems about the right time to break out the Jack Daniels!

We'll get the money the same way we got it during other wars, we just print it. The Fed has been doing this for years anyway.
Your points are valid though and I think that it will be primarily a standoff war that obliterates Iran's Rev.Gaurd and nuke facilities as a priority and secondly (if they persist) their military.
Honestly, if they do something stupid like go into Iraq all bets are off and we could see the first declared war and draft since way back. I think the West is capable of appeasement, but now the Iranians have back themselves and the Brits into a corner. I wouldn't say it's inevitable but it is getting more probable now.
None whatsoever.

I really don't see why we have this fixation on 'invading' Iran. That would take a lot of money, men, and material... which are in short supply nowadays (with a Democrap Congress)
But... BUT...
We do have the ability to destroy Iran. Make it a wasteland. Obliterate it's government, it's military, it's infrastructure, and it's populace.
If we do that, Iran ceases to be a problem. Although, it does cause pain and suffering to one of our enemies.
GASP!
(Imagine that, combat that inflicts pain and suffering onto our enemies.)
And thanks to precision guided weaponry, we Americans cannot even contemplate war that inflicts pain and suffering upon our enemies.
