I'm thinking our squids would love the chance to get in some more live fire training...

Not to worry, Pelosi, Reid, et al. have lots of white flags handy.

Alabama and Iran have the same GDP.

Iran has five times more people than Alabama though.

We'll send the Alabama National Guard over there and whip their asses.

In related news, howls of laughter could be heard emanating from the Pentagon.

Send down some seal types with scuba gear and remove the bolts holding the props to the drive shaft.

It’d put a smile on my face....

Looks like Operation Preying Mantis redux. Guess they didn’t learn their lesson the first time....

Of course with Bambo being POTUS this won’t happen, but I wonder if the Iranians remember Operation Preying Mantis?

This is like a squirrel tickling a grizzly’s behind with a short stick...

Anyway, if they want to send out a search party for Osama they can do it, and they may just end up joining him.

Well with this news, I have a great idea. Let's put our military funding on the line in a politically motivated bill.

Ignoramuses in DC just don't get it.

Could this Immanutjob moron be any more clueless?

Yeah, great idea... Venture inside of the 200 mile barrier off our coast and our military will destroy your tin can ships in a New York second. And then, to make things even more interesting (because you somehow think you can go to the UN and bash our country) we will destroy your country.

This idiot should not even be the so called President of Iran because he “pretended to get elected” by fabricating the election results.

Do not underestimate the power of the United States Military.

Right off the coast of Florida to protect Cuba’s oil drilling rigs, and we won’t do a thing about it.
from our media you’ll hear crickets

We’ve played this game with guys a whole lot tougher than the Iranians. Welcome them with open arms. Give them a port visit. Offer asylum to defectors. Anyone who doesn’t want to defect gets a little talk with the CIA and a first-class plane ticket home. Where they’ll be welcomed with open arms, and a few friendly questions. Maybe not so friendly.

No matter the strength of the US military,
the Commander in Chief has allegiance only to
his 57 states against the American people.

America is in more peril than in its entire history.

powerful presence close to American marine borders

Let's see. the US Navy can routinely deploy the following in the vicinity of Iran:

While the Iranians, if they are lucky, might be able to get the following somewhere in the vicinity of the US, tailed by as many nuclear subs, patrol aircraft, shadowed by as many US Navy vessels (shal we say "escorted") as necessary to assure complete and total overkill.

That is their single largest and most modern combatant, and would have to be accompanied by their single, old replensihment ship. Any single US Arliegh Burke Destroyer or US Nuclear Submarine would utterly destroy both vessels before the Iranians even knew they were there, from well beyond their sensor range, if it came to it.

The three US Nsvy Carriers above (with their three escorting Ticonderoga AEGIS Cruisers, their six Arleigh Burke AEGIS Destroyers and replensihment ship and escort...not to mention three nuclear attack submarines also escorting them) could literally engage and destroy the entire Iranian Air force and NAvy, and take out most of their infrastructure if we felt we had a reason to do so...and still have eight more carriers and thousands of US Airforce aircraft in reserve for any other contingency.
