. Iraq is not going to invade Jordan and Israel because they can't move mechanized infantry across the open desert with the US and Israeli air forces attacking them from the air.

You miss the point, Iraq and Iran are preparing to WMD American troops and Israel. After a few nukes on our troops there will not be the force necessary to stop troop movements. The Egyptians said as much over a year ago in the Newspapers. Iraq cannot stop us with conventional troops, even they know that. That is why a first-strike scenario by WMD is becoming more likely. These movements by the Iraqi's with help from the Iranians confirm that.

On that day, their nations would cease to exist.
Even the CommiecRATs would stop being liberals for a day or two.

Peace is possible in the Middle East.

True enough. But of course, any WMD attack by Iran and/or Iraq would be met with a retaliation by us (with hydrogen bombs) that would shake the foundations of Hell itself. It would be total and utter suicide for them.

You're assuming that Iraq already has nukes. Do you have a source for that information? I believe the main reason for us to force a regime change in Iraq is to prevent Saddam from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Are you thinking clearly?

After a few magic Iraqi/Iranian nukes being launched, all of Persia and the Euphrates valley would become uninhabitable as a result of the response.

C'mon people.

I have to disagree with you there, friend. Israel has neutron bombs that would neutralize even the most massive of enemy troop movements with the greatest of ease. So even if Iran/Iraq succesfully WMD'd Israel's many armored divisions (a scenario that is most unlikely, imo), they'd be absolutely annihilated in return. And don't forget about Israel's 200 to 400 hydrogen bombs. If suicide is what the Jihadists want, then suicide is what they'll get.
