The head of the French military says military intervention is not a viable option to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear capability.

Cheese eating surrender monkeys.
Great time to install a French general in change of NATO U.S.
The most successful act by the French army in WWII was cutting the elevator cables, so Hitler couldn’t savor his victory on top of the Eiffel tower.
The new Vichy!
People also forget it was the French who were there treating our Sailors after the USS Cole was attacked. Without them, a lot more would have died.
For America? No. For France, or England, or Europe in general? No. But for Israel and Saudi Arabia? Iran is a threat today, let alone in a decade with a nuke.
Cheers!
Word is Israel gave the US a limited time to employ the Obama Iran-fail plan.
But that clock is about run out.
Problem is my sense is that any strike will have only limited results. Much of the discussion revolves around how much time Israel gets in delaying mullah nukes.
Problem is that’s all inexact and Iran’s nuke program is scattered and some sites may not be known. (They may be known to the Israelis.) To complicate matters further Israel is trying to get Russia to not send a new air defense capability. It’s not faring well as it’s leaked out already by the Russians.
So the scenarios actually look bad and worse. A military attack would be complex and very much unlike the singular strike on Iraq’s one nuke site.
Wonder what he would have thought about that little operation at Normandy...
The cheese-eating surrender monkeys strike again!
nobody said the French didn’t make damn fine nurses. Or maids.

I think we can add France to the areas that should be a glass covered parking lot. Who needs “allies” like this? They are turning mostly muzzie anyway, nuke em.
They’ve never gotton over Dien Ben Phu. And we won’t even talk about the Maginot line. It’s amusing that after decades of making consistently bad choices, now they want to be seen as important. Not.
The Muzzies will burn down or smash everything in Europe. We should then evacuate the survivors, THEN nuke the whole works.
Already existing troops are available... From Iraq and Afghanistan. Along with a marine invasion from the Persian Gulf, it wouldn't be that complicated. We just rolled right over the Iraqi forces, and considering how much trouble the Iranians had with them, it wouldn't necessarily be a "quagmire" at all, especially since many, many Iranians don't like their Islamic oppressors.
Now, if the Russians could be trusted and would position themselves in the Caspian, they could roll right into Tehran in a matter of days...
