Air/fuel bombs...remember hearing about the daisy cutters we used in ‘Nam? Those are their big brothers.

With Hillary warming up her followers with the ‘obliterating’ Iran statement (and I despise that bi**h beyond belief, but she warmed my heart with that), you may be right on the 3:1.

The good Iranian people hopefully now understand they can’t wait until November: they need to move now on the Mullahcracy.

"'The question is not if Iran is unhelpful in Iraq,' said Philip Crowley, a retired air force colonel and defence expert at the Center for American Progress in Washington. 'The question is what to do about it.'"

He's some "defense expert." There's no such question.

"Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, said last Monday that Iran is 'hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons'. He added that war would be 'disastrous'...

...disastrous? So we cannot measure up to two of our greater previous generations. That's been obvious for too long.

When are we as a Nation going to get some courage and fight--after we receive a few incoming nukes, perhaps? Is our leadership planning to let the Democrats handle the situation in Asia? ...maybe find out how many men will really fight under Hillary as a commander-in-chief?

IMO, too many of our fellow Americans (especially leaders) did drugs over the past few decades. It's time to grow up, secure our national economy with a new manufacturing base and fight (all same time).

Just a note for all concerning this issue.

The Washington (COM)Post has written several editorials the last few weeks stating that we do in FACT need to use troops to stop Iran, sooner rather than later.

So I think the tide is turning.

It is GREAT being home! :-D

I bet it is. Thanks for your service.

When are you heading back?

What is the talk about Iran’s actions and action against them amongst the circles you travel?

This story is moving on down the food chain.

However, the kidnap victims being in Iran, if substantiated, could be sufficient reason.

That alone would lead to a conclusion that Iran is not much concerned about us doing anything.

They are known by history as the Guns of August.

General Petreaus will have it all together in 90 days. The Guns of August will be ready.
