The notion that this will remain some sort of surgical strike air war only is BS. It will quickly develop into a ground war as the Iranians retaliate against either or both Israel, and the United States. Iran will most likely fire missiles at Israel. If they so choose, they can also easily fire missiles into the Green Zone and US bases in Iraq - as they will be nicely mapped with GPS coordinates provided by Iranian, and Iraqi insurgent spies, long before this.
For those thinking that the US and Israel will take out Iranian missiles first, think back to 1991 to desert storm, it took us forever and a day to track down and knock out Saddam,s SCUDS-one would think that the Iranian missiles are a bit more advanced then Saddam,s. Also most likely will be better protected.
<<We can redeploy our forces in 48 hours from Iraq to the Iran border if necessary. Trust me, we have the ability to move mountains if we need to.>>
The Iranians will fight, there not going to run, if anybody thinks that there nuts. They have half a million regular army, 120,000 Revolutionary Guards, 45,000 border troops, an air force, - and they have a militia estimated to be at least one million men, if not six million.
<<Retired military guys love to spout their two cents. And people love to listen to them. I will only listen to current generals, etc when it comes to forming an opinion on why we should or shouldn't do something. Most just want a clear and defined goal, and I can't blame them. It's time for Bush to step up and explain what the clear goal is.>>
Quote President Bush="Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me," he told the nation.
Still he had these two Generals fired, General John Abizaid, Gen. George Casey. So where are you going to find any current Generals, that want to continue to be active duty Generals, to talk to? Your right, as for having a goal sure would be nice if it were attained.
