54. Your reasoning is skewed beyond all comprehension.
FYI, we have pulled most of our armor out of Iraq, and Iran has plenty of armor, and a large military. We have a strung-out, exhausted combat force in Iraq, they will not be able to handle Iran if they roll over the border. Some simple math - Iran borders is, what, 4-5 hours from Baghdad. Military assets in Europe and Asia would take months to deliver into theater. By that time, everyone is dead. Another thing you have failed to factor into your assesment, are our forces in Iraq to turn their backs on the Iraqi population to face an oncoming enemy from Iran, effectively sandwiching themselves between two countries that want to destroy us? I can't stand it when people make these vague determinations that we will win every time, without factoring in all the things our guys are up against. If Iran moves, WE ARE SCREWED, and there will not be a damn thing we can do about it.
