Reply #36: Pre-Emption isn't only usable by the US [View All]

They already have targets not that far away, it's a good guess that Iranian SSM's are already targeted at US positions in Iraq. Think about it, in one attack they can take out almost all of the forces on the ground in Iraq. And does anyone doubt that the Iranians don't already know the positions of the navy ships in the Gulf, and let's not forget that the HQ of the US 5th Fleet is just down the road in Bahrain, and CENTCOM is located in Qatar.

The Iranians are reported to have a professional military, and have been making purchases of arms and equipment from the Russians. And the Iranians have stated that a pre-emptive attack is not the sole right of the US.

How long would it take to rebuild ground forces, if the troops on the ground in Iraq are destroyed. And this would allow the insurgents in Iraq to rise up and take out the rest.

And if the US attacks Iran, don't count on the coalition of the willing to tag along, none of them signed up for WWIII.

The US will have no allies left, no one will turn on the US, but they won't be helping either. They will all sit on the side and watch
as we allow the neo-cons to destroy the US.
