Hello it's again time to use our over active imaginations to try and make out a little scenario for our own entertainment and mental growth. I'm setting the scene...

It's October 2006, The USA has finally grown tired of Iranian words and attempts to get the bomb. They launched a covert airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities. It wiped them out entirely. The us got in and out without any losses, they had complete air supremeacy at the time so no planes where lost. The mission was hailed as a success by hawks and condemned by europeans and liberals alike.

However Iran did not take this lying down, they retaliated with a strike against US troops in Baghdad by firing missile at thier compounds, they fired some shots at bases in Saudi Arabia, miraculously nobody was killed in the attacks due to the poor acuracy of the missiles and the luck of US forces.

Now a reply is essential, America is fuming, the world on edge, political leaders have okayed an invasin, they don't want another air strike or Kosovo style campaign, they need you to take them out, an invasion is must, however the last call is yours.

What do you do?

Factors

Iran is willing to fight you. If you attacked Iran thier army will not lie down, they'll want to take out as many Americans as they could, so this will not be a TV war like Iraq. You'll be facing thier full military, and expect heavy resistance in the cities, like Grozny in the first russian campaign in the 90's.
This country is full of generations who just so hate you guys. that is all they do, hate you guys, they don't work or nothing, just smoke herione and hate you guys.
American forces have been deployed worldwide. Correct me if i'm using out of date information but according to this map you only have like 250,000 real soldiers and 150,000 reserves available to fight right now.
All these forces need support like tanks, trucks, APC's bombers, choppers, tents, cooks, kitchens, doctors, asprin etc, can the uS afford to do that?
If you got into Iran Iraq would certainly flare up as the south is predominantly Shia and muslims have this stupid brotherhood kinda thing.Also IRan is linked to Afghanistan and big warrlords like Ismael Khan are propped by Tehran, they might start fighting you in Afghanistan.
You'll need a plan for after you've marched on Tehran

What i need to know is would you go to war, what you think it'd be like and if you think you'd win what would you do with Iran afterwards? Please can we avoid...
