    We have plenty of firepower to fight a war on another theater. This is the perfect time to log some hours with the new F-22

    I can't wait to see war time footage of that beast. It almost isn't fair.

    vball's grandfather designed fighter jets used by our military and had several noteworthy patents- one was the ejection seat. :thumb:

    Great, thanks to Salty and everyone else on this thread for getting NLMD all excited right before bedtime. Of COURSE we could obliterate enough of Iran to make a statement in about a half hour. That's exactly what we did in Iraq, and the video footage was great. Something tells me our military tech has come a long way over the past few years.

    There's not even a need for a single ground troop. Just keep destroying stuff like in a video game from a half-globe away, and wait for the cry of uncle.

    THAT is a use of my valuable tax dollars that I can actually support.

    The only reason i see for an ejector seat is to go down and see what you blew up !!!

    Actually you would get cries from every other nation in the world that we are using disproportionate force, much like they did to Israel last summer with Lebanon, much quicker than Iran would cry uncle. Damn other people and their anti-american views.

    It's called fighting smart.:thumb:

    Not even the Neo-cons believe we can just invade a country anymore and fight their style of guerrilla war. There is no prize, even if we win. We lose these kind of fights (Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq).

    The American way of war is fast, violent and airpower-intensive -- Iran would lose it quickly. We win these kinds of fights (Grenada, Panama, Serbia, Kuwait)

    Better late then never!
    He'll, we don't have to invade Iran just take out their oil refinery and other
    economic targets.
    We just might cause a revolution in Iran and get rid of the bad guys.

    They are on the brink of counter-revolution anyway with most of the population under 30 and feeling more modern than the revolutionary generation now in charge. The best thing we can do to let this happen is NOT to make war upon Iran. This would make them all nationalistic to defend their country. This is what happened in Iraq.

    The best thing we can do is to isolate Iran diplomatically and culturally and let the disagreements within simmer some more until they boil over. The islamist hold on power in Iran is tenuous. We need to be playing the sides against each other and not drive them together to resist us. Ahmadinejad could be voted out of office and replaced by another moderate. A revolution could happen again.

    Right now military posturing and veiled threats are more valuable than military action. The best scenario is for Iran to collapse internally, like the Soviet Union did. This is what we should be trying to covertly encourage.
