War with Iran

And uh, what troops are we using to fight this upcoming war? Every General I have heard has said the military is spread to the breaking point...
Dude. Please read the entire thread before you comment. This will likely be an airstrike aimed at neutralizing Iran's nuclear capability, not an invasion. We've covered this with you before. Jeez.

Don't even try to agrue with chicken little and Henny Penny Joeychgo ;) THE SKY IS FALLING ! THE SKY IS FALLING ! :)
Just get ready to fill you bathtub with water :D its Y2K part two :p
 
The Navy and Air-force are very good for things like this. I think it could happen no matter what troops we have on the ground.

But will it escalate into something where ground troops will be needed?
 
Ya Joey and Nut case :rolleyes: , the Navy and the Air Force are really stretched too thin on the ground in Iraq to do anything else.

We'll act while we have the troops on the ground. This won't be Clinton tossing a few Tomahawks and then going and getting jerked off under the table in the oral office.

We'll actually do something to stop them. At least we'll put them back 10 years or until NK sends them their next shipment.

When you are over-throwing a government, you need troops on the ground to maintain order.
 
"Hostile" Iran Sparks U.S. Attack Plan
Pentagon Wary Of Tehran's Expanding Nuclear Program And Support Of Iraqi Insurgents
WASHINGTON, April 29, 2008
U.S. Develops Iran Attack Plan

(CBS) A second American aircraft carrier steamed into the Persian Gulf on Tuesday as the Pentagon ordered military commanders to develop new options for attacking Iran. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that the planning is being driven by what one officer called the "increasingly hostile role" Iran is playing in Iraq - smuggling weapons into Iraq for use against American troops.

"What the Iranians are doing is killing American servicemen and -women inside Iraq," said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

U.S. officials are also concerned by Iranian harassment of U.S. ships in the Persian Gulf as well as Iran's still growing nuclear program. New pictures of Iran's uranium enrichment plant show the country's defense minister in the background, as if deliberately mocking a recent finding by U.S. intelligence that Iran had ceased work on a nuclear weapon.

No attacks are imminent and the last thing the Pentagon wants is another war, but Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen has warned Iran not to assume the U.S. military can't strike.

"I have reserve capability, in particular our Navy and our Air Force so it would be a mistake to think that we are out of combat capability," Mullen said.

Targets would include everything from the plants where weapons are made to the headquarters of the organization known as the Quds Force which directs operations in Iraq. Later this week Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is expected to confront the Iranians with evidence of their meddling and demand a halt.

If that doesn't produce results, the State Department has begun drafting an ultimatum that would tell the Iranians to knock it off - or else.

Thats what I was saying!

Red Dawn is a killer movie. Scared the hell out of me.
 
It's about time we started to get our military moving again. If we remain idle in a one country war zone we can expect to take more casualties with less gain. The Korean War and Vietnam are prime examples of this. In Korea when McArthur reached the Yalu and was ordered to stop, wrong. The Chinese invaded in support of N. Korea anyway, so why shouldn't we have gone into China? Afraid of the Russkies? Oh well, they had only been able to develop nuclear weapons for four years at the end of that war. Pretty much the same thing in Vietnam, we didn't go after the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos and Cambodia as tenaciously as we should have. Only now are we beginning to realize that we must trace the source of the violence in order to fully put out the flames.

We need Patton.
