Invade Iran?
 

Do you think the united states will invade Iran?

I think they will attack Iran ... maybe not "invade"

agree :pimp

hopefully

same thing, i think. i dont have a clue though

invading iran will be last straw time

id be amazed if we wernt in world war 3 if that happened

It could happen, and probably will

oh well i mean somebody said we have a problem since iran is close to china and russia, reality is weather people want to believe it or not the USA is so far ahead military wise it wouldn't be close, the problem is trades, $$$$, thats the only reason the USA would be scared of China, Russia, etc

Invade with what troops?

Unless the DoD recruits the Salvation Army, I don't think an invasion is likely until Iraq is stable enough to pull troops out of.

IMO, A tactical strike on potential nuke building facitilites is more likely in the short-term.

i doubt they'd invade or attack iran, it's more likely they'd liberate the people

You think there's nothing to fear against fighting China and Russia?

honestly im not to sure, they have nuclear weapons too but I think the USA is far enough ahead to take care of them. I think the biggest problem would be our trades with China though lol

You think America can destroy all the nukes in China and Russia before they get a chance to launch them?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Would they also bring down the big statue of the " bad guy " ????? :winkwink:

Agreed, no need to invade but we will for sure attack them sometime in the next few years if they continue with their plans to aquire nukes.

Bunker busting bombs to destroy their nuke facilities? Now that would be popular.

:1orglaugh LOL, that would be a hoot.

Drudge Headline Exclusive: Bush mobilizes Salvation Army as backup support in Iraq and on the new fronts in Iran and Korea.

How do you know that the US has not been secretly building troop stength and the numbers posted in the press are bogus? And that these troops have been trained in Urban warfare for when the war finds its way to the US???

I see recuiters stopping younger guys on the street and talking to 'em. They're about going door to door in the hoods. Let's give a meth user some real weapons!

yes and or at the very least bomb

Wow...I've been in the Navy for 9 years and if anyone actually thinks China isn't a threat militarily; is A: crazy or B: critically uninformed. I'm just hoping China becomes a stronger trade partner, and enjoys the lifestyle that a free market society can enjoy. That's our best bet with China.

seems like we are the invaders lately we may need to give peace a shot, peace through mind control! :o)

when you think about this is how our government works. The Pres asks congress if he can invade "x country" and they do a poll/vote to see if they will do it.

My first thought on seeing the poll, was I am glad we do not do this to see what countries we invade. But we do.

:error

IMO, one of America's biggest weaknesses is people's false bravado towards military threats. Too many keyboard warriors acting like the Pentagon can just push a button and destroy any country it wants with no consequences, and everyone will be home in time to watch Leno.

The "nobody can touch us because we're so powerful" mentality is a dangerous delusion.

Those whom the Gods would destroy they first make all powerful.
Those whom the Gods would destroy they first make proud.

as soon as we are done with Iraq

if they have no weapons and oil they will

Yeah, our military is way ahead of everyone. Public probably has no clue of the shit the have locked away in case they need it.

If we went to war with Iran, I don't think Russia would attack. China may, but you never know. Where were the allies of Iraq?

If you think any country WANTS to go to war with someone like the US, you are out of your mind. Kep in mind that the US has some pull in other nations. It wouldn't just be Iran/China vs. US. It would be Iran/China vs. US/many other countries.

Well, we just happen to have all our troops in Iraq and they don't seem to be doing a whole heck of a lot right now. Maybe they could just waltz over and kick some more arse.

Will the US invade Iran? This is a difficult country.

Someone above mentioned that the US has a more advanced military force than both China and Russia. This may be true, but China's army is fucking huge.

China and Russia are both close to Iran. But if we got into a war with China their entire economy would fail........

OMG! do you even have any brain man?
"take care of them"?
What do you think this is? walker texas ranger shit or superman, maybe batman would take care of them...if not, then BLADE the day walker will take care of them...

Do you even know what you are talking about? war against military super powers like russia and china...war against over 1,500,000,000 people, the question is does USA even have enough with bullets :1orglaugh

"take care of them" :1orglaugh :pimp

as would America's economy.

Iran would hand our asses to us. Unless we are prepare to mow down endless waves of rabid teenagers on TV, the U.S. cannot hope to win a protracted conflict. Iran sent 100,000s of lightly armed children against the Iraqi army for almost a decade. Iran has the will to win at all costs, we don't.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

No war is about ideology or religion. All wars are either about nationalism (self-determination) or the arrogant use of power. That was why we lost Vietnam War. The North Vietmaneses were fighting for their country, the U.S. was fighting the spectre of Soviet Russia.

I'm now worried about china.. I heard some good news the other day the russians basicly said north korea had "no capable nuclear devices".

China will pwn us all tho.

Chinese has the biggest army.
They are #1 trade partner for USA

Russia is the 2nd largest oil exporter in the world
Russian weapons (like tanks, aircrafts, anti-aircraft defence systems, even assault rifles) are the best in the world, and it's being exported to Iran too.

Both has nukes.

I bet the joint action of these 2 countries can ruin States in 2 weeks w/o a single shot

yea yea yea thats pretty funny somebody said iran would hand the U.S.A it's ass, ha

Critically uninformed :2 cents:

yeah really aint the japanese our number 1 trade partner?

More trade goes over the Ambasador Bridge between Windsor and Detroit than all trade to Japan.

Yeah we export alot of shit to the u.s.

Invading the area will only cause more problems. The more people we piss off, the higher the terror alert ...

Iran would make Vietnam look like a stroll in the park.

Why would anyone invade Iran? It's much easier to bomb nuclear facilities and set them back another 10-20 years and not risk a single life. Most likely, Isreal will do it since they are the most threatened and have nothing to lose in the Arab world anyway.
:2 cents:

Do you honestly beleive they will all fight?
What nation has 100% of it's people in their military?
First of all, you're not taking military strength into account, let's assume for a second that all of china fights the us' 2 million military, now... how the fuck are 1.5 billion people going to make it here to fight?

You have to mobilize all those people... our submarines would wipe out 80% of their ships, and there isn't enough fuel and planes to fly 1.5 billion people here...

Not being a dick, but please don't make fun of someone's post if you're is so easy to pick apart as well

I was talking about china and russia together, because in the post I quoted the guy was talking about "taking care of" those two counties, but relax Im not an anti-american, I rather see USA rule then china or russia or iran or iraq....etc..

Where is Rambo 3 when you need him?

All Im trying to say is don't underestimate countries (military) that you know so little about, its ridiculous.

After that Saudi Arabia and then Egypt for the kill.

are u serious?

From a presentation given by Rand Corp. analyst Laurent Murawiec on July 10, 2002, to the Defense Policy Board:

Titled "Grand strategy for the Middle East":
* Iraq is the tactical pivot
* Saudi Arabia the strategic pivot
* Egypt the prize

Key to the discussion was that it described Saudi Arabia as "the kernel of evil, the prime mover, the most dangerous opponent" in the Middle East.

they have oil?

Must we fight? I say let commies be commies, let Muslims be Muslims, let Christian capitalists be Christian capitalists. Unless they're going to attack us, I say leave them alone. Lost too many friends and relatives to war already.

i think they will attack it ... or as politics say invade :P

but after that china/russia/australia/afrika hell ... it's becoming Heil Bush in 4 years time :Oh crap
