Iran Leader Warns US

[Professor S]

Right now Iran has no way to even touch us, honestly, and they are a severe problem that needs to be dealt with.

But...

I also believe that a large scale military operation is probably not the best option. The youth of Iran is predominantly against their own government, and committing war against their nation would only prove to alienate them from our objectives.

The question is, what is the right way to support this majority against the ayatollah and inspire revolution? It comes down to how organized their own resistance organizations are and whether or not they will work with us in a combained air/special ops/social upheaval operation.

In the end, though, the real danger is allowing such an unstable and openly comabative government get ahold of nuclear weapons and devices that can deliver them.

Respond with double the intensity? Ha.... I'd like to see them pull that off. Crazy religious nutjobs.

And I believe Saddam called the first gulf war "The Mother of all Wars" before we pushed his s*** in. Arab leaders have a propensity for hyperbole and overconfidence.

Oh God.
Krypton, you fool.


Everyone knows that politics and threads on the war get locked as soon as someone makes a valid point going the other way.

FOOL I SAY!

For some reason I found this slightly comical:

before we pushed his s*** in.

Anyways, A warning is fine. It serves no real purpose, true, but its just a warning. Remember, Iran is not the US. They wont give a set number of days to do something, and then just say "**** it" and start a war before the allotted amount of days is up.


And the double intensity thing (in my mind) is completely believable. The US wouldnt attack Iran with Nuclear weapons, but if Iran got provoked, they would respond with nukes (most likely), and thusly (and most likely) double the intesity of the provocation.


Or whatever.

[Teuthida]

Seems fine to me. I'm sick of the US trying to police the world.

I'd like to think the US has more nukes than Iran can twice muster.

he vowed to wipe that other place out....israel or something....2 years heal have nukes if he continues his path...I think the US should keep their reputation as Peace Makers and do the persition lowgrade nuclear bombing and then canada should step in and keep their rep as peace keepers.

Really, that honestly scares you? I just cant believe how, when the United States has the most powerful armed forces in the world, that Iran making a little threat could possibly scare anyone.
