All this plus a fairly well developed weapons industry ( compared to third world standards), and off and on Russian support. The IRIAF still flies 350 Aircraft. But besides all this, who is to say that A.Q. khan did not hand them the blue prints along with the triggers for a miniaturised warhead design???? It will be foolish and down right ridiculous for us ro assume that Iran is still non nuclear. After what they revealed ( hint hint...wink wink wink...) during last years standoff about A.Q. Khans 'nuclear walmart ' and its discount pricing!


Now if any of you boys can imagine for a moment what would the iraqi shia's feel when the U.S. or its lackey israel attack Iran? Do you think guerilla warfare would increase in tempo?

Get real boys this is all ******** rhetoric on both sides. In all honesty there is no doubt that the U.S. will prevail in a confrontation despite heavy casualties even if there are, but does it have the balls to hold Iran or for that matter the entire area from Iraq to Aghanistan??? Iranian ppl will unite in the face of illegal aggression just like they did when Reagan buffooned Saddam into Attacking Iran in 1980! They will rally behind these mullah's! Iran is a fairly united country with basically no sectarian/ ethnic issues like Iraq and Afghanistan, where we can pit one camel jockey against the other!

Think about it!

P.S. if Iran was such an easy pushover, than the chimp would have ordered an attack on Iran 2 years ago! The fact is that these buffoons in the White house don't have the guts to go all out. They know their limit. Iran is a huge country and controlling a 70 million population will require a minimum 300,000 man U.S. military force deployed for years and years something no one in the U.S. is willing to even ponder about! The same goes for North Korea.

I think these buffoons should first wrap up or try to wrap up Iraq and Afghanistan first. Iran or North Korea for now are very elusive trophies for these Neocons.
okayyyyyy, lets pretend for a second that were in the real world. first of all, were talking about if iran invades US occupied iraq, not if we attack them. if they did attack our forces, not only would we defeat them, we would crush them. sure, iran has a large army, and if they got the element of surprise, they could probably gain ground for about a week or so, until we kicked into full swing. and i think your forgetting about the sheer bumber of aircraft we have in saudi arabia and floating in the persian gulf, that would decimate any force trying to cross the border. with air support, our ground troops alone could defeat iran
