Can't fool me. It's an interesting and disguised persona. I still think that you're trying to ratchet the cost to an unacceptable level by advocating the invasion of Iran as the only recourse to acquiescence.
"i imagine any replay of OIF would be run far better this time around."
Oh?! What have you seen that makes you think that we've learned how to integrate all elements of our nat'l power? The military has clearly improved it's occupation manners though Iran would allow for a more severe test. Nothing that I've yet seen from any other element of our gov't gives me the slightest iota of confidence yet you "imagine"...?
JAD_333 is right. Full circle. It seems that a "rational" Iran on the verge of acquiring nukes will provoke no such neo-connish verve to your step. Did I misunderstand or is this an acceptable end-state?
