Nope. Iran is geographically enormous with unbelievably difficult, and easily defended, terrain. And the Revolutionary Guards, and most of the army, would fight. Iran has over twice the population of Iraq. The IRG and the Basij alone are as fanatical, and far more numerous, than the Iraqi insurgents were.

Agreed. I doubt if Israel could do anything about Iran getting nukes either. I don't think their fighters have the fuel to make it back home to support bombers of any sort.

As far as the US is concerned, I really don't think we can open another front at this point. Moreover, do you really trust our CIC? He won't play to win and get our soldiers killed.

I'd rather find a way to arm the populace. Use operatives to funnel the Irani weapons we found in Iraq back to Iran. The irony alone would be delicious.

This time I think the people will fight for their freedom if we would go in to help them. They seem ready now to fight back.

Dollars to doughnuts that obama and his goons are planning on using the same tactics on us in either 2010 or 2012.

Whether or not we can make it a long day for them remains yet to be seen.

Indeed, where IS the UN. One would imagine this is exactly the sort of thing they are in business for.

Remember, in the context of the Moslem World. when someone says he condemns the loss of “innocent” lives, an Infidel cannot be “innocent”, an Infidel is by definition a sinner, and therefor not “innocent”.

Equally, an opponent of Islam cannot be “innocent”.

Obama’s weasel words.

Here’s Hussein 0bama’s responce:

So much for “hot dog diplomacy.”

“The White House announced yesterday that it had withdrawn invitations to Iranian diplomats to attend Fourth of July festivities at U.S. embassies around the world. The move is the first tangible penalty the United States has imposed against the Iranian government in the wake of the brutal crackdown of demonstrations over the disputed presidential elections.”

You have got to be freakin kidding me!

The first and only thing they have done right.

“He has the blood of young protesters on his hands.”

saying to the world “We are watching to see how this all R out”, he was inviting Achmanutjob to mow them down. The whole world could see Obama would do nothing.


Worse, he repeatedly said what "we are seeing on television" which was a queue to shut out the media and proceed to finish off the protestors.

He pretty much gave them the green light to do what they are doing. Now that the shtf he takes away their weenie roast.

“Prior to this month’s disputed presidential election in Iran, the Obama administration sent a letter to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for an improvement in relations, according to interviews and the leader himself.”

didn’t we hear about a supposed “massacre” this morning, only to be told later that the posts were fake and done by a porn spammer? It is a testament to the iron grip Khamanei has over that big nation that we know so damned little about what is actually going on.

I am beginning to believe Neda is not a symbol of the desire for liberty in Iran, but, in the US also. We are experiencing the same lack of liberty when our leadership connives and collaborates with the dictates of the Iranian State. DumbO does not know how this is going to play out, but, for me, give me liberty.

Obama, the LACK of words also has consequences. Duplicitious, spineless $**tbag.
