Iran may strike US troops pre-emptively before they become an immiment threat

Looks like the mullahs in Iran are fans of Dubya’s foreign policy. At least someone pays attention. :rolleyes:

I don’t think they CAN hate us any more 😀

Eh, I think it’s possible. But I don’t want to find out either. I think their young, nationalistic students don’t like their mullahs very much, but I wouldn’t want to give them the opportunity to vent their rage at the US too.

You’d get a massive air campaign against Iran I’d think, crippling most of their military and political infrastructure.

I think there’s no need to make them hate us even more. 🙂

How the heck would the US be able to take on both Iran AND Iraq? They’re already have troubles in Iraq, and 100,000 additional troops that they pull out of Europe/Asia would not be enough. There would prob. need to be a draft.

To prevent a pre-emptive attack, you suggest a pre-preemptive attack, which in itself might trigger a pre-prepreemptive attack.

Diplomacy used to be about avoiding wars, not about starting them.

I have always considered that this war will spread out in most of the middle east: we are on schedule ….

looks like the (iranian)mullahs desperately want to taste the daisy cutters and cluster bombs and cruise missiles and what not, like their iraqi and afghanistani brethren did….. 😀 😀 😀

Good luck with that. Really. Those kind of statements are what make warplanners contemplate pre-emptive action in the first place. And here I was thinking we’d forcibly investigate Syria next.
