well lets go back to the 1st gulf war when it was stated as fact im assuming that Iraq had the 4th largest military in the world. Where does Iran lie in the rankings so to speak lol.

Yeah I agree that them claiming the US troops in Iraq currently are basically their hostages is as much a stretch IMO as saying they'll launch on Israel's nuclear facility.

I'd also like to know how many Carrier groups and Air Force wings we have over there still. As any Iranian offensive would no doubt be suicide on the majority of their armor. Plus we would notice a build up on the border regions.
