Gee, Scoody, that sounds eerily familiar....like Iraq in 2003. Didn't we assume that in their infinite joy to be rid of Saddam that the Iraqis would just empbrace democracy and us once we freed them???? I don't know, Scoody....I think that kind of idealism got us in trouble in Iraq in the first place, didn't it??

Seal the border with Iraq, run cross border bombing raids when any assembly point is identified and take out every air defense capability as soon as it is even close to operable. Iran can rot. With bombers, ground attack aircraft and a vigorous defense of the Iraqi borders, they can be kept in the stone age they love so much for decades.

Seal the border with Iraq??? Shit, how come we are not doing that now...with Syria and Saudi Arabia, too? Well, because we don't have the means. And they can be kept in the stone age for decades?? Again, Scoody, I hate to break it to you, but we are not going to be in Iraq in force for
decades.
If we do anything to Iran, it will be a coercive strike only.....cruise missiles, B-2s, fighters and jammers. The goal will either be to coerce them in some manner or hit their nuclear sites....at least, the ones we can find. The only strike back potential that the Iranians have is their TBMs....probably against our bases in Bahrain and our allies. Bottom line, Scoody: There will be no ground war in Iran....at least, not in the foreseeable futrure.
