Iran reminds me of a WWF promo.."We're gonna kill ya..." blah blah blah..unfortunatley, its becoming obvious that they're going to have to be dealt with sooner or later. They have missles that can hit most parts of Europe, and even with conventional warheads this can wreak havoc. Their Su-24 Fencer bombers are very effective low level attack jets that can esily hit Israel and beyond, not to mention U.S. carrier groups. They on't be the pushover that Iraq was.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The goal here isn't occupying Iran, the goal would be to remove the nuclear threat, however, I doubt Iran would sit idly by and allow its facilities to be destroyed without a response. They could esily launch missiles at Israel and Europe or attack US forces in Iraq or hit Saudi oil areas. The size of Iran would make it difficult to take out all of their airbases and missile sites, but any attack on their nuclear facilities would have to include any known missile sites and airbases or their promise of "harm and pain" could be true for some.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Night Phoenix is right. The U.S. won the battle of the Tet offensive, but civilians, such as Walter Cronkite, painted the tet offensive as a picture of doom and gloom, portraying the image of a defeated US military, which in turn fed the anti war crowd red meat, causing opinion to turn against the war. There is no real comparison the post WWI germany, a nation which was soundly defeated by its foes, a nation in deep economic and mental depression. The US was never close to being defeated in this way.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
