you reminded me one small sentence on iran was needed to qualify my post as legal.I removed it per your protest.was said tongue in cheek after all you have all the cruise missles........how pertinent is that?-
Meantime,The pakis are in bed with the US,they are in large dependant on the relationship which they have with the bush regime.I dont think they would step in the s$$t with the US over a few Irani reactors if the action were limited to air strikes.remember the afghani opium crop.....
The Iranis, though beligerant and voiciferous, in their posturing over Isreal,do not have the offensive capability to do any invading .If the reactors get hit,i am sure their offensive air power must be crippled as well.(i doubt it can be a surprise raid)
They can rattle their missles at the Ormuz straight,but i think that the world would not mind if US airpower kept it open and under an umbrella of fighter bomber protection.
I ran has made itself very much a loner because the non-radical arabs consider her somewhat of a pariah....they dont want this kind of radical islam exported to their countries..
