Iran's 'supreme leader' — Khamenei — tells country to brace for war
In the first such order, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has directed its more than 300,000 troops to prepare for a confrontation with Israel and the United States. IRGC has directed and participated in the Hizbullah war against Israel. "Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards and Basij should prepare themselves to get even with Zionists and Americans," IRGC commander Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi said. "The supreme leader [Ali Khamenei] will announce the time for this."

The US would defeat the Iranian Army in less than 2 weeks.
As long as we think we needed to occupy, we could capture and imprison the current government, and then leave.
Once Iran goes nuclear, though, we would be less willing to pay the necessary price.
Now is the time to take down Iran.
"I have no doubt that Iran is and has been plotting for a long time now. Ominous feelings are still sending shivers down my spine."
I've had the same feeling for a good long while now.
Relevant Carrier Groups:
(nearest is Kitty Hawk, Enterprise also in the sphere, but that's it...)
CV-63 Kitty Hawk - Indian Ocean
CVN-65 Enterprise - Sunda Sea
CVN-69 Dwight D. Eisenhower - Norfolk
CVN-71 Theodore Roosevelt - Norfolk
CVN-72 Abraham Lincoln - Everett
CVN-73 George Washington - Norfolk
CVN-74 John C. Stennis - EastPac
CVN-75 Harry S. Truman - Norfolk
CVN-76 Ronald Reagan - San Diego
Holy crap, nearly half our carrier fleet is pierside, catching rays in Norfolk???
WTFs with that???? Are we in a WOT or what???
whoa..

The good news is that we don't need another "Hearts and Minds" war. "Shock and Awe" will do.

Exactly! Someone needs to tell these Mullahs that the only thing American that they will see will be missiles... and BIG ONES at that!
Here we go.
God help us, things are going to get interesting.
"It only gets more complicated and interesting if N. Korea or China decides to pull a stunt in that part of the world while we deal with Iran."
Do you sacrifice Taiwan for Iran? "
Sadly, I think, yes. Iran is entirely too dangerous to be left alone. We have to confront them or within a few years, they will be dropping nuclear weapons on our cities.
Bill Gertz..usually reliable..
Believe me, if we get war weary, we'll nuke their cities. We just need to lose enough people. Our battle plans now are blitzkrieg and then be benign to the citizens, not total war. We will need to eventually change our mindset to total war. Islam actually will require us to total war since the civilians are almost as guilty as the terrorists; they're allowing these monsters to live in their midst. Therefore, they are enabling the terrorists.
" Your correct. Did you see the other snippet on China boning up their 16th army in North Korea? They are all tied in together, Russia & China with Iran/North Korea and Syria. Their is coordinated strategy going on here and our country is really just started waking up to it. WWWIII is going to be nasty but we'll come out victorious against the bad guys. The bible also prophecies this in Revelations. 1/3 of mankind dies and the specific amount of combatants mentioned is 200 million. We're just seeing the players take their roles and it's coming out into the open. "
On your biblical prophecy point, I believe you are 100% correct. Things are falling into place just as they are written in Scripture. Good news is, we know the ending of the book and it doesn't end in us all speaking Arabic.
Because he's a Keyboard Kommando. BTW, the logical end of his comments is that the best strategy would be to surrender now, just to save time.
Looks like it's clobberin' time!
Slight correction -- IIRC, it essentially wiped out the VC, and heralded a more direct involvement by the NVA.
Hope we don't go into Iran.
We don't have great logistics in the region, and the resulting Shiite uprisings in Iraq and Kuwait would make things interesting.
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -

world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.

No, this time it will be nothing but "Burnt and Crispy" when we finish with them if they pop a nuke.
