You don't think Iran has been preparing for this moment for decades?

You think all the war games conducted by the DOD during the W administration, all showing we would get get our ass kicked, relative to our definition of a win vs. Iran's, were faked by those well known liberals Cheney and Rumsfeld?

They're no Iraq and I think Iran also has a certain neighbor to the north that may have known about this in advance.

Wiped off the map implies total destruction. How will that be achieved?

Germany, the last nation that the US was engaged in total war with, was not "wiped off the map". Certainly because we did not have nuclear weapons.

Japan, the other nation we were at total war with and preparing to invade, was not "wiped off the map" despite two atomic weapons being dropped on cities.

Iran is not Iraq. They are not some hollowed out nation that boasted a strong army and who's bluff got called.

Are we going to bomb them to oblivion? We dropped more bombs on Vietnam than we dropped in all of World War II and how did that war turn out?

Are we going to "nuke em"? That will play well with the rest of the world.

No. This is an EPIC mistake. We have a complete moron in the White House and he has kicked over a hornet's nest that other Presidents, even bush the second dumbest president ever, managed to avoid.
