 +1Yes, but how long will it be before iraq and afghanistan are subdued / stable??? It'll be awhile still before that happens and I personally believe that if we wait THAT long it'll already be too late. If we go in we'd be better off with help. The ball is rolling in the UN security council. Yes the UN is BS, but it's what we need to get other countries in on this. Yes Isreal could be a huge help, but have we thought about the serious shitstorm that would create in the other mid-east countries? It's a tricky situation. |

Sooner or later they will have nuclear weapons, why wait? Besides, we liberated Afganastan and Iraq, three countires would make a nice set!

We should hit Iran ASAP with a combined arms assault straight towards their capital.
 They aren't expecting us to use the same exact tactics/stratgey we used to take out Iraq. The last thing on anybody's mind right now is the US Military launching a frontal assault on pathetic Iranian conscripts.

Iran may have the WMDs that left iraq, most of them probably aren't a long range threat, but would be devistating on ground troops. We have the ability to do this without committing ground forces. The goal is not liberating iran, its elliminating a nuclear threat, with a colateral regime change. IMO, this will be air only, and a very short event, probably with only a few planes actually doing the deed, and others for support, also with destroyer based missles, quick, hard, and effective. From what I have seen on T.V, the iranian people aren't pro weastern, but aren't as radical either. Several clerics think the iranian president is crazy, and blasphemous, and wouldn't mind seeing him gone. As usual, this will end up being a U.S. action, with only token support from other nations.

Iran has it's own large and very capable Chem/Bio manuafacturing capability dating back to the Iran/Iraq War. They don't need some Iraqi stuff, they have thousands of tons of their own stuff. They have Battlefiedl and Intermediate Range missiles for delivery if needed. Iran's WMD Programs |

I didn't say they didn't have their own, but they probably have what ever was in iraq, in addition to their own. In other words, they have a good supply of chem/bio weapons.(edit) From reading your link, they also have missles with pretty good range.

-Absolut- First, don't take this wrong... I'm not attacking, just discussing. How has North Korea used there nukes as leverage? I mean... It's maybe kept the north from attacking. Nukes or not I think we've done an OK job of dealing with North Korea. They're contained for the most part. Of course this might be because they're leader is a complete whack-job.

That is a fantasy. We cannot leave Iraq without invading Iran. There was also no point in invading Iraq without using it to invade Iran. And there is no one else. The Isralies do not have the means to take out Iran. |

Contrary to popular belief in this site, i firmly believe that when we go into Iran we need to go with France, UK, Italy, Germany, Russia, etc.... We need this, & not for any world opinion bs, but to limit the impact on our own military. Shit, let some other countries get dirty with us, we seem to be cleaning all the garbage for the whole world. Imho.

Wyatt, I agree with you. The Ops temps in out military right now is just nuts. Times change and I realize that, BUT, I got out of Active duty in '01 and joined the Guard. I've been deployed and TDY more with the Guard than I ever was in Active Duty. I just don't see how our military can sustain it's current ops tempo let alone roll into another country unaided. And lets face it... although we tout a "mulit-national" force in Iraq and Afghanistan we're, for the most part, fighting this on our own. I know I sure to hear "tell that to the canadians," and such. Believe me, I've picked up wounded Canadians in Afghanistan this last time around. I'm not taking anything away from they're work or support... But you've got to look at the numbers. ~Dg84 |

Tough. We dont have a choice. And the Europans have been steadily disarming themselves over the last 15 years. All of Europe togeather could not produce enough troops that are of any earthly account to help us with this. Great Britain is the only other source of troops and they are just too small. One extra division equivilant at most. We have been over this before Getting Ready For A Nuclear Armed Iran Nothing has changed in regards to the facts in the last few weeks, just time is getting shorter. |
