I have held the same opinion for a few years, in essence verbatim as you wrote. But we really cannot destroy their oil/gas infrastructure nor those closely related industries and transportation networks required to produce and sell their product to the world, unless the world is prepared to accept a large increase in oil derived products for some time.
It is possible as many of us have discussed over time, that if we where to do what you/I/others suggest, that the people might finally revolt figuring what the heck, the Mullahs and the little man totally screwed them in not playing ball with the US.
Perhaps the day will come when we do pre-emp on them. I am sure some of us have intertained the idea of say a private communication to the effect ... Say like in Dirty Dozen... where a terse message is sent to Ahmadinaejah saying.... look you little bastard, if you don't stop playing games will kick your teeth out.
It could lead to some changes. But then. Would it turn out like Iraq, where the watch dogs where constantly outfoxed?
I sometimes think Putty is being a bitch of lately because he sees Russia may not end up making big bucks off Iran with all the oil/gas deals as far as future nuclear and the obviouse arms equiping.
And knows we just may go in and cream Iran one of these days soon. Anyone got a crystal ball handy.

“What will be the media reports after Iran nukes Israel? We can’t be sure the Iranian government was involved?”

Probably. Sad to even think that your sarcasm could even be possible. When Israel vaporizes Tehran and all of their military and energy sectors the world will then likely attack Israel. Messed up world which the bible and prophets old and new frequently speak of in the end days.

If CENTCOM is given the green light, then things already well in place are carried out very quickly. There will be no bullshit involved.

Iran wants to enter the war, then let's get it on.

I read this while ago, and was scanning back through. When I read this again, I still cracked up.

Now that is funnier then that Fog Horn Leg Horn character.

From whom? As for this anti-missile shield, it seems to me that Iran will do everything short of starting a nuclear war unless the regime is threatened from the outside. If that is the case, it’s merely a question of whether the US trusts its own missile shield in the event that Iran over-escalates her ongoing underhanded war against us, and I don’t think that would be the case under any circumstances.

>>>And, yet sadly ,criminally, we won’t do a thing about it.<<<

[freedomdefender]

And, yet sadly we won’t do a thing about it.

We're also not invading Pakistan and overthrowing their government, even though Osama may have safe haven there.

And, yet sadly we won’t do a thing about it.

You are correct sir, unfortunately.

“Take out the filthy bastards in charge of that country, now, President Bush!”

President Bush is a JOKE! You can’t be serious? I didn’t see any sarc warning on your post.

Mr. Kerry is too busy atm to answer your questions

Except it is not an escalation. It is not a surprise. They have explained quite clearly what they mean and done have done it. Only clueless people in the west pretend not to notice, because they are too whipped to do anything about it.

The disease is quite entirely domestic...
