F-ing iranian troops and proxies have been targeting American troops for years in Afganistan, Iraq and damn near everywhere else in the world.
About time we start shooting back.
A very large nuke on tehran would maybe stop their pooh!

Terrorism with proxies yes, but direct action—no.

I'm reminded of the response plan my employer had in place back when we used to keep chlorine gas in rail cars running parallel to the county road we all traveled to and from work. The impact projections were most impressive. A gas cloud and evacuation zone 25 miles in diameter if I recall correctly.

And that was just one rail car.

I never could get a straight answer out of them as to how those cars would hold up to a rifle round...

Thankfully, we no longer use chlorine gas in our processes.

it is what President Reagan envisioned with STAR WARS.
Course it would take a real American to use it which means it won’t get done with this butt head.

If Obama weren’t president, I wouldn’t worry about an Iranian attack on US bases at all.

Obama would probably surrender.

I don’t know about having the resources to fight a war but they fought Iraq for 10 years and the even used kids to walk through minefields after they were given a 10 cent plastic key that was alleged to be the key to paradise.

People who do things like this are going to be hard to defeat unless you hammer them and hammer them hard.

The thing that worries me is what other Islamic countries will get involved in a war with Israel.With Obama as President the Israeli’s cannot depend on the resupply of munitions,tanks and aircraft if they get destroyed.

I hope Israel is ready to go it alone.

Perhaps this general in the IRGC needs to look up the term “GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG” or Twilight of the Gods (Richard Wagner). For IRGC Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, that's about what's about to fall on you if you do. Not by Barry the Great Appeaser, but by Bibi Netanyahu and the Israeli IDF.

Is there a list (public info of course) of what military assets we have over there now?
I thought I heard we had 3 carriers there now?

Can anyone explain to me how Iran could attack Israel, especially using nuclear weapons, without killing off most of the Palestinians and destroying the second most holy Muslim shrine? Does the rest of the Muslim world think that would be a justifiable loss?

“I hope Israel is ready to go it alone.”

If not one nation or even one man lifted a finger to help Israel Israel would not be alone.

Take him at his word. Prepare to attack, and he’ll hand you the Sumter advantage.

I would love to see this. Can you imagine what would happen to Iran if they did? Even with Obama as president, the generals would take over and Iran would get scorched.

I happened across a historical video about Hiroshima this afternoon. I'm sure that in war, there are no "innocents." But....

The pictures and film I watched were from a horror too terrible for words. So,....

All you brave Iranian warrior wannabes.....

Think it through. The horror you wish on Israel, you will bring to Persia. Flash burns, radiation, shockwaves do not discriminate among innocents and perpetrators. Israel's vaporized children will be Iran's in the same fashion.

Think it through. Whether you worship Yahweh or Allah, you and your posterity are just as dead.

In more civilized times, he would not dare step foot in the United States. Nor would any threat have been necessary.

George Orwell would understand.
