Does he want to find out?

[SoldierMedic]

Sounds like a challenge

[Paladin2]

US not too stretched to take out the well of nth Mahdi in Qom at any time.

[DarthVader]

Who says that we have to attack them from the ground to attack them? We can deliver overwhelming destructive force from other means, deliver them massive setbacks and not have to send boots in.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

What’s the crew of a B-2? Four guys?

[SolidWood]

100% identical to the Democrats.

BTW a question for Mottaki... if we are really so weak, why is Iran desperately trying to obtain Russian-Chinese Defense equipment... are you afraid?

[Roccus]

Unless and until the US is willing to be sufficiently brutal in war, this is our future from every pipsqueak on the planet.

[ClearCase_guy]

I'd like to see the presidential campaign maneuver the US Democrats into a position of "We can't nation-build" or "The problem of Iraq was that after we defeated them militarily, we let ourselves get sucked into a quagmire."

Because that might open the door to a massive US strike against Iran, with absolutely no effort on our part to involve ourselves on the ground. Oh, you're in the Stone Age? So sad. Can't help ya! Bye!

[live+let_live]

Of course we could wipe them out with bombs, nuclear or conventional. But we won’t. We don’t have the warrior’s heart anymore, at least our politicians don’t.

So the next question is do we have enough men in boots? I don’t think we do and that is Bush’s biggest failure. He needed to increase the size of our military.

If we are to be the world’s police force we need a lot bigger army.

[The Wizard]

WHEN we go into Iran, many of our problems in Iraq will dissolve.

[Tai_Chung]

The US Navy and Air Force are not stretched. We certainly have the forces to attack any country or even multiple countries at the same time regardless of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nobody is talking about taking over Iran with ground forces.

When the time comes to withdrawl from Iraq, I hope they withdrawl through Iran.

[nuconvert]

I’ll repeat what Michael Rubin said recently on Hugh Hewitt.....”Iran is dangerously overconfident”

[mainepatsfan]

Hitler declared war on us thinking the same thing after Pearl Harbor.

[tet68]

“The United States “is not in a position to get into a new military conflict,” Mottaki was quoted as saying...”

Dear Mr. Iranian, some of us would not consider it a “NEW”
military conflict, rather a logical continuation of an existing one to the point of origin.

Say Goodnight Mr. Amadinejad...

[gondramB]

Stretched too thin for an additional Iraq style occupation is quite different than stretched too thin to attack.

[RichInOC]

IN A.D. 2007...WAR WAS BEGINNING.
[BOOM!]
MAHMOUD: WHAT HAPPEN?
MOTTAKI: NOBODY SET UP US THE BOMB.
[BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!]
COMMS OFFICER: WE GET SIGNAL.
SADDAM: WHAT!!
MOTTAKI: MAIN SCREEN TURN ON.
MAHMOUD: IT'S YOU!!
FALLON: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN!!
FALLON: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
FALLON: DESTRUCTION ARE ON THE WAY TO YOU.
MAHMOUD: WHAT YOU SAY!!
FALLON: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME.
FALLON: HA HA HA HA....
MOTTAKI: MAHMOUD!!
MAHMOUD: TAKE OFF EVERY 'MIG'!!
MAHMOUD: YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DOING.
MAHMOUD: MOVE 'MIG'.
MAHMOUD: FOR GREAT ALLAH.
[BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!]
SHAITAN: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN!!
SHAITAN: ALL YOUR SOUL ARE BELONG TO US.
SHAITAN: HA HA HA HA...

[elhombrelibre]

Wishful thinking alert.

[river rat]

Saddam thought the French would protect him.....he was also wrong.

Someone needs to tell the current Islamic thug, that it takes only a few aircraft - of which we have many — to return Iran to the stone age overnight....

Thanks to Iraq we have learned to not occupy the land of Islamists until the place has been reduced to smoldering rubble.

[mtbopfuyn]

Oh, well, thanks so much for settling this for us.

/s

[montanajoe]

Actually I tend to agree. In Iraq the second time we forgot the “Powell” doctrine of attacking with an overwhelming force. We tried to do it on the cheap and have not been extremely successful.

If we are going to do it we need to be prepared to get the job done...conventional air war alone is not going to get the job done.
