You're actually drooling at the prospect of another war.

He'd like the idea of his people being able to throw a nuke on Tehran and not get any blame for it, amirite, Wandering Jew?

I'm not Jewish, you pathetic and racist fool.

cman: I call bullshiat.

After Iraq, if there is one thing that we should have learned, it is that there are too many damned variables to be able to make these kinds of predictions.

Well yeah to defeat the military of Iran would take 3 weeks, to take care of all the insurgents and other people who dont want us there would take 20 years.

Errr...no. I was pointing out one of the risks of a shooting war with Iran.

So its like how we were supposed to shake in our shoes about a war with Iraq?

Ah gods damn f*cking RT again.

Fista-Phobia: MeinRS6: meat0918: Good news. U.S. victory over Iran would only take 3 minutes, so no big deal

If you're gonna lie. Go big.

One MIRV from a sub and things would wrap up in around that.

The U.S. is not going to sleep with you.

Yes it will. It's a slut.

bubo_sibiricus: People who argued that war with either of these countries was going to be a quagmire were laughed at and shouted down by...

2 weeks to destroy the conventional military..... 1 week spare

then leave and see what happens.

i mean who cares if the region is stable or not? id rather have higher gas prices than deal with a 10 year peacekeeping deathtrap.

the problem with vietnam/irag/afghan is trying to maintain control. blow up their military, destroy as many supply dumps as you can find, enter suspected nuclear facilities and blow them up if confirmed.... anytime US military goes near civilians have a loud speaker blaring " RUN AWAY OR DIE" and then shoot anyone that doesnt run away,


flatten ackmadinajihad's palace and put a sign up saying...."play nice, or we'll be back"

then leave!

What is this, like, step 3 in the list of ways to make another war palatable?

/desensitization

Well it's obvious by now that *something* must be done.

/don't you watch TV news shows?

vernonFL: . I was little so I don't remember, but that was probably a very tough time for a lot of Iranian Americans in 1979, probably just like a lot of Arab Americans after September 11th.

Brotip: I live in a city that has a lot of Armenians. From Iran, Iraq, and Armenia. The FBI *did* stop by my Armenian friends' houses after 9/11.

It's disgusting.

violentsalvation: Depends what you consider victory, toppling the regime? probably doable. But the next 20 years would suck.

Naw. I'm sure if we installed a new leader for them everything would be peachy. Just like last time.

Quagmire in the sense it was used for vietnam is not the right fit here, only about a tenth of the deaths involved and it was 20 years long compared to about a decade for the other two.

MeinRS6: Errr...no. I was pointing out one of the risks of a shooting war with Iran.

I guess I don't consider "we would also get the chance..." to be a warning.

steamingpile: So its like how we were supposed to shake in our shoes about a war with Iraq?

Well, war is a nasty business. The Iranians are more capable than the Iraqis of 2003. And the Iranians are very capable at international islamic terror as well. It's quite a hornet's nest to kick.

vygramul: drjekel_mrhyde: In a perfect world China would step up and crush NK in 20 days making the US look like WTF

I find it amusing you think 1) in any scenario that involved that kind of rise in tensions between the two, China could defeat NK in 20 days and 2) the US can't.

We have to much politic bs here to just say fark and hit them on a whim

They have some awesome engine tech in Iran.

/gas turbans

Will you pay for that war with Visa or Mastercard?

Tarkus: It could last, you know, six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.

The immediate "hurr, Iraq" responses aside, did anyone even read the quote? It's talking about the destruction of Iran's conventional military capabilities. Provided several weeks of airstrikes and cruise missile attacks I'm inclined to agree: there wouldn't be much left of Iran's military infrastructure.

I want to call this a non-credible threat. Iran knows that if they block the SOHormuz we'll Fark them bloody. We've done it elsewhere for less. Then again, they know we won't really do it for much else because of the impact on oil prices and our 14 day supply chain.

Then again, at some point we have to realize that Iran is playing the same card as Nk. We know you won't go there so we'll push the envelope and exact concessions because you have more to lose.

We should let them build nuke plants. Help. Watch. Monitor.

Quit doing things the dumb way.

I heard China and Russia are totally cool with it. Europe says, "Why not? We're wacky for NATO Asian conflicts". Who cares what the rest of the world thinks., We'll tell them what to think. China will be able to sell cheap crap to them after the ass-kicking and no competition against Russian oil interests. It's a win-win. Plus Israel gets a priapism.

The US government and the media are already telling us there is no more money for Social Security or MEDICARE in a couple decades. The evangelicals think anything short of WWIII won't bring rapture Jesus. All the military industrial complexes will make some currency and dead soldiers don't hurt unemployment.
And when do the banks and financials not make money?



I triple dog dare you?

America in the middle east is like the opposite of cops on a coke bust. Only 3 weeks. Yeah that's right, just 2 years! Lightning fast, like a decade tops.

(plus 5 years for "troop withdrawals")

Don't Troll Me Bro!: Will they greet us as liberators?

Just like the Iraqis did. And the Afghans.

Aar1012: SilentStrider: Mentat: SilentStrider: Would it pay for itself too?

Only if we cut taxes. I'm always surprised that people don't get that part.

Silly me. You're right.

All we have to do is shift some money from the Dept of Education, NPR, and PBS and we'll be in the black for a decade!

You forgot Planned Parenthood...remember, after all they are aborting future soldiers.

Genta: then leave!

Sorry, that's not profitable.

bubo_sibiricus: Oh yeah, and a vote for Romney means we invade Iran.

We attack Iran, we attack Iran not. We attack Iran, we attack Iran not. We attack Iran, we attack Iran not. We attack Iran...

/ Anybody got another daisy?
// What about a daisy cutter?

Israeli-controlled US media outlets have been carpet bombing our living rooms with this "inevitable war" crap for over a year now.

They would have to think we were incredibly stupid to believe Iran would launch a nuclear attack on a US ally.

They won't do it.

Ever.

Meh. Declaring war in the Middle East is just boring now. Let's spice it up and declare war on Australia or Europe or something.

We managed to take down Iraq pretty darn quickly despite our politics. China does not have our technology. Assuming the US wouldn't help by allowing them to access our satellites, they don't have GPS, for example. (Though they will in a decade or two.)

I'm not sure what SK has to do with it, aside from the possibility SK could do the job.

North Korea has no actual capability to resist the South Korean or American military in combat. They're a one trick pony: they have enough guns aimed towards Seoul to dissuade us from justifiably knocking them into the stone age their so deservedly wish to inhabit.

or these.

tinfoil-hat maggie: I think I may have mentioned something like that. Also that's what we did in the first gulf war with Iraq, granted we also expelled them from Kuwait.

Exactly. There's a difference between occupying Iran and destroying Iran's ability to wage war. The latter we are perhaps the greatest in the history of the human race at accomplishing.

Easy, killer. I was just suggesting how to have a 3min war with Iran, after he pitched that time frame.

I'm fairly certain that a launch is not imminent.
