Target Iran - Air Strike Options

Congress didn't declare war nor did it ask the Pres to cease after 60 days. There is apparently yet another option.

Shortly after 9/11 he got congressional approval to do whatever was necessary to conduct the WOT.

Good grief, if we are going to bomb a country, then bomb it into submission. Why hit just a few nuke targets? Bomb all government offices and major mosques, along with key infrastructure. Haven't we learned anything from iraq?

Your talk of wearing the burka, reminded me of this photo from the Nord Ost Theater, Russia, hostages and murders.

Links to a survivor's story and the disaster of the trials are in post #285, with parts mixed throughout the threads and posts of the WT thread.

There's a heart-warming Christmas story.

I was rather hoping for Playboy models dressed in Santa costumes, but I suppose reality is quite different.

You will have to close your eyes and use your storage of images, that is in the brain...

Laughing, with you.

Yes, real life goes on, yesterday, I started to add a few links to Christmas customs of the world and wound up knee deep in the history of genocide, so gave it up.

Have a Merry Christmas and do dream of dancing playgirls.

Of course, God might have dressed them and given them Angels wings, sorry if that was not what you wanted.
LOL

Laughing, as I have found you a nice young lady and she is involved in a Christmas story.

See also, the link in comment #3, not ladies, but then I would not want to dream of young ladies.

Hah... thank you, that's much more pleasant for Christmas-time!

You may be right in terms of American military air strikes without joint Israeli involvement) especially with these Dems taking control of Capitol Hill, however Israel is on the front lines for an Iranian nuclear attack, even with numb numb Olmert the voters will demand he protect the Israeli public from nuclear extermination.

BUMP!!!

Right, the other option.

A Declaration of War should be first on the agendum. That was the political mistake with Iraq. Get the Declaration of War. It should be easy even in a D dominated Congress, or maybe even easier.

If we want to compel Iran, the country will have to be invaded, conquered, and occupied for fifty years. I happen to think that's a good idea, and that we should.

To invade, conquer and occupy Iran would take hundreds of thousands of troops, at least a half million. This is no failing state here; it's a relatively stable and healthy (by Middle Eastern standards) terrorist state. Unless we go to the draft there is no way to achieve these troop levels. Our main problem with Iran is their nuclear program and terrorism. There is no need to invade right now. That's my opinion.

My top questions for a presidential candidate in for 2008:

1. Another country launches a nuclear missile at the United States or close ally and it doesn't work. What do you do?
2. Another country launches a nuclear missile at the United States or close ally and it does work, killing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. What do you do?
3. A nuclear weapon detonates in the United States, nobody claims responsibility, and you my never be certain who was responsible. What do you do?

In cases where details are not provided, assume the most likely scenarios.
