There aren't enough troops in Iraq to properly take Iraq. I believe OfficerOfEngineers characterized it as fighting a 250,000 man war with 100,000 men. It seems to me, if Iran moved enough troops to the border for a successful invasion, the US would have to strike first with overwhelming air power to destroy the troops, infrastructure and leadership of Iran.

He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
