The true workings of a dictator. Wanting to disarm America and allows the NSA free reign to spy on you with out repercussions. Has total disregard to the veterans and their health care.

The mid easterners don't really make their own war stuff. If the rest of the world would stay out of their bickering, jihad would be fought on the backs of camels with swords and maybe bow and arrows. Needless to say, the nose of the world is well up their ass.

I thought this latest crazy talk would sort out, but it appears that this is going to be a "real" discussion.

If the US has the stomach for it, we can obliterate Iran. No question. Sorry, I know people want to feel like there is a limitation to the US war machine, but sadly, the limitation isn't quite so small as Iran.

Now, that said, it isn't something we are going to do with just some left-over special forces. A ground invasion would require us to pull out of some areas, mobilize all of our existing reserves, and start some heavy recruiting with some possible draft legislation on the back-burner.

It would not, however, even be close to our mobilization effort for WWII. And unless we really just wanted to be entirely stupid, it wouldn't be the meat-grinder of Vietnam... If we have the stomach for it.

That said, we don't have the stomach for it. The US Citizenry don't want to go to war with Iran. A war with Iran isn't likely to boost army volunteers. It is likely to be fought with just who we have available and as such, would be a bombing war aimed at surrender that would likely go south after the first or tenth elementary school was blown up.

You'd win every battle and lose the war.
