Iran is a joke. The war would be won in a week with a thorough and well developed strategy.
Unbelievable. What a stupid idiotic statement. And you got 37 stars for it. Unf**ing believable!

Yes. I got the stars because I'm telling you the truth.
You are delusional for thinking that Iran will be a challenge at all.

I don’t think that’s true, at least in the case of Afghanistan & Iraq.
President Bush was very clear about the length, cost and severity of both campaigns. He also declared victory much, much too soon. That was a bad move. I am not aware of anyone in the past administration claiming either operation would be over in a week.
In regards to Vietnam; that was before my time. All I have to reference is what’s in the public domain. I spent some time trying to prove your claim. I’m not saying proof doesn’t exist somewhere; I wasn’t able to find anything that supported the one week notion. Honestly, I didn’t find anything around time frames that indicated anyone in the Kennedy & Johnson Administrations thought, or articulated, a quick operation.
On the other hand, I get that you may have been taking a little historical liberty to make your point. It’s not lost on me & I appreciate (agree!) with, what I think is, your main point. That is, war with Iran won’t be a cake walk.
War is tragedy. Nobody knows that better than the men and women we ask to fight it.

American people , locked up children in home.
I see what you did there.
"A nurse in Iranian Kurdistan in 1980… ...She encouraged two French journalists to report on the "butchery" they had witnessed. She hoped that international intervention would stop the Iranian army from shooting at ambulances and would allow the delivery of urgently needed medical supplies. She was arrested and charged with making "counter-revolutionary" comments published in a foreign newspaper. Executed on June 17, she was thirty years old".
"A young girl in Tehran in 1981… ...Arrested for swimming in her home pool in a bathing suit, she was found guilty of causing "a state of sexual arousal" in a neighbor from whose house she could be seen. She was sentenced to sixty lashes in April 1981, but she died after the thirtieth lash."
"Atefeh Rajabi , a 16-year-old schoolgirl: Executed by hanging in Neka, Aug. 15, 2004, for "acts incompatible with chastity."
Ah, yes. The peace loving, enlightened Iran.
9,000 victims of Iranian "peace" & growing

Don't talk about humans rights when every country has issues.
when was it up to the international community to do something in another country because we didn't like what they do?
People elect their governments by themselves, if they don't like it let them revolt, no one else needs to be involved.
Why is it that Irans human rights are questioned but no one gives a flying fart about what China does, didn't see the good ol US in tiananmen square helping did you?

I think you are delusional. Has it ever occured to you that Iran may have support in the region along with China and maybe Russia? Your two wars have lasted roughly 10 years against a bunch of people without any advanced technology. Do you seriously think Iran are going to be a walk over? They will actually fire missiles back at the USA, they are a bigger threat to your countries interests than you think. The rest of the world will condemn your country and most likely Israel if you resort to nuclear weapons as well. Iran are playing there cards very well and I would not take one of the most ancient civilisations lightly.

the posing and posturing that IRAN is beating a war drum doesnt ring true to me in this instance, i mean hell! The damn countries been BOXED THE HELL IN, by western nations and to me, They(Iran) is saying "Yes...I'm in the corner, but i tell you 1 last time, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE."
~sarcasm sequence initiated~ JEPIC, once again....brilliant post on page 1..you always come thru for us....~sarcasm sequence deactivated.~

I wasnt speaking in terms of what the officials said, i am speaking in response to another members claim that Iran is a joke and we would roll over them in a week.
Many, many people said these exact same things about the wars I previously mentioned.
There is no such thing as an easy war.
I believe I'm speaking the truth. Maybe the reason people dislike it is because I said it straight up and coldly. But it's stll the truth.

No it's because you simply havn't got a clue - look up the statements made over the yrs by Khomeini, A'jad, the Revolutionary Gaurds, various generals - the 12'ver beliefs that the ruling Mullahs subscribe to.
Iran is on a mission to export it's revolution worldwide as they have repeatedly said and to destroy Israel.
