#3 "Iran Will Target U.S. Forces in Neighboring Countries"

With what? I believe that if we attack Iran, they really won't have anything left with which to attack us.

First of all we would most likely demolish every single oil refinery and refined product storage depot in the country. Iran will not have enough diesel fuel to run a city bus let alone conduct military operations.

#4 It is past time to do some "confidence busters" to the IRGC at some level, so that despite the entreaties of the fanatical leaders, the mid-level leaders suddenly start developing maintenance problems.

#5 will attack in all the places in the region where the Americans are present

Are they sure that's wise? The image of those macho dudes who put a cocked pistol in the waistband of their pants, only to have it go off, comes irresistibly to mind.

#6 With what? I believe that if we attack Iran, they really won't have anything left with which to attack us.

If we're lucky, with human wave attacks. Break out the miniguns.

#8 I suspect that if push comes to shove, the IRGC will not need to go looking for U.S. forces in neighboring countries but that said forces will be making their presence felt.

#9 note to Gen. Mohammad-Ali Ja'fari:

President-to-be McCain hasn't seemed all that stable recently, and anything, ANYTHING, could happen. I'd be careful poking that guy with a stick. Enjoy your new-found tightrope, asshole

#10 As before, ANTI-US, etc. RADICAL ISLAMIST MULLAHS > MUTUAL DESTRUCTION [any form] IS TO ISLAM'S = RADIC ISLAMISM'S ADVANTAGE.

In addition, OSAMA BIN LADEN'S NEW TAPE > in suppor of the ECONOMIC/NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY OF THE USA. By extens Amers may also conclude that OSAMA = RADIC ISLAM will have no probs wid AMER-SPECIFIC, UNILATER REGIONAL-GLOBAL APPEASEMENT, SURRENDER, WIHDRAWAL, ETC. AS WROUGHT BY AMER'S OWN NPE = MILPOL ESTABLISHMENT.

*Iff they use ANY PLACE to attack Iran, we [Iran] may attack those places with our MISSLES" > COMPARE TO RUSS NEW ANTI-NUKE/WMD TERROR DOCTRINE + same's definition of "CONVENTIONAL AGGRESSION".

YOOHOO, MACKENZIE BROS. = CANADA, GODZILLA = JAPAN, etc., YOU'RE UP!
