Be sure that YEARS ago not just the nuclear sites, but ALL relevant military and government sites were targeted and that those plans are kept updated. Iran's military and government have been targted since the Reagan administration took over in 1980.

you dont need boots on the ground. you can shut down their ability to aim the missiles and destroy many of their launcing sites. geez.


sure we have the upper hand. the reason to war with iran, which we can contain them and blockade them until they are poor and broken and never a threat again. we never need to invade. any attempt by them to move divisions to their borders to attack us will let the world finally see how a division on the move can be wiped out by air power alone.

releasing the strategic oil reserves will maintain us here in America. we have them, might as well use the reserves one time finally.

being able to kick the mullahs out of power is worth it. and we do have the upper hand when it comes down to taking the gloves off.
lol
is there ANYTHING the US cant do?

It's pretty clear that rational thought isn't something guiding US foreign policy at this time. The one factor predicting US military intervention is whether the target is opposing US hegemony. It doesn't matter how corrupt or oppressive a regime is as long as it obeys US doctrine. And Iran is definitely getting out of line so expect a war soon. It needn't make any sense, someone will find a reason and push. Hillary saying any attack by Iran on anyone would warrant retaliation, McCain saying Iran is supporting Al Qaeda, there are just too many powerful influences wanting this war for it not to happen.

Not during Bush's declining term on an election year.

strategypage is a joke.

Iran could just bomb the refineries in Saudi Arabia and other places. That would take weeks/months to fix.

I love how everyone thinks we can just bomb things and solve our problems.

That is retarded.

If Israel went to war in tandem with the USA against Iran, the rest of the middle east would attack Israel.
