Target..+Iran+
« on: December 24, 2006, 07:08:57 AM »
Well, it looks as if Iran is just begging the US to invade.  As they are stepping up thier efforts to aquire nukes, the US will be left with no alternative but to go into Iran.  Its almost a blessing in disquise that we are forced to increase our troop level in Iraq to squelch out those pesky inusrgents as this will serve as the perfect base of operations to finally squash those terrorist loving iranians.  Wow, wwIII is comming.  Hide your children.  :confused:

Not from nukes, but from the draft board. Because if the USA invades Iran. It will be a long war.  Iraq is heading for it's fifth year and it's hardly a proper war.

tell that to the guys on the ground, and the one's who get drafted.  Methinks they won't feel so "blessed"

Actually, since the insurgency in Iraq is primarily funded and supplied by Iran, if we smashed Iran, the Iraq conflict might subside rather quickly.  I think a few small tactical nukes delivered onto Iran would be a good start.  Time to play hardball, let the bleeding hearts wimper.

Islamofacists are already in charge in Iran and they are blodly proclaiming doom for Israel and the US. What do we have to lose by going and destroying their military and government? We don't need to leave an occupying force or do any rebuilding like we have in Afghanistan and Iraq. When they rebuild and start making noise we just do it again, and again.

Jobs and lives.

Probably a few hundred lives if things go well, in the thousands if they go badly. Millions of jobs either way.

An attack on Iran, and the Iranian retaliation, means the oil price will go well over $100 a barrel, maybe as much as $200. That means $6 a gallon or more when you fill up.

What do you have to gain by destroying the Iranian military and government?

You assume a ground war. We decimated Iraqs army long before ground troops invaded and lost far fewer than a "few hundred" lives. I think it pure specualtion on the impact on the price of oil.

What do we have to gain? How about eliminating the threat of a nuclear attack on Israel which could very possibly escalate into something very, very ugly.

Just a quick 3-4 week bombing campaign should be sufficient to shut Amadmanjihad's big mouth. If not, a second visit would almost certainly do the trick.

Yeah, and the Bush administration that the occupation of Iraq would be a piece of cake.  You and everyone else here advocating an attack on Iran are only seeing the best possible (and not necessarily most probable outcome).  What was the response of the US public when it was attacked?  Now, how can you possibly think an entire nation of Shia are going to rollover?  Hell even the Pentagon thinks that bombing Iran is (to put it kindly) short-sighted.

Please quote for me one instance where Bush said or otherwise implied the occupation of Iraq would be a piece of cake. So long as you make irresponsible and untrue claims like this there is little point in discussing this with you.
