I would also expect Iran to issue an Ultimatum - stay out or we will attack you throughout the gulf, close the straits of Hormuz, unleash a ground offensive into Iraq, and send thousands of terrorists against you everywhere in the world. <BR/><BR/>The first warning will be the mobilization of Iranian troops on the Iraq border. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the US military is aware that due to Iran's numerical ground superiority they would unable to stop them; especially if Iran unleashes a missile barrage taking out US air bases in the area. It would take days, potentially weeks, before the US could mobilize enough forces to counterattack.<BR/><BR/>How would the US respond?

They had targeted 8 or 10 famous Spanish landmarks, and one of them was -- you guessed it, the Atocha Train Station.Roger W.

Biden referred to in the media. I believe that we will face Iran sooner than later more than likely becuase of the actions of our friends in Israel.

I guess it would be on the return bombing layover stop in Dubai. Now that I think about it. I don't know if they have an aircraft that could deliver a bomb without stopping. The last plane they had could cross a time one was personally flown out of Iran by the Shah. He was buried with the keys.<BR/>I guess they'd have to go to Syria and pick up Saddam's items.<BR/>As for the Revolutionary Guard, AlQuds, they're getting fat on their success (like the old Chekists or KGB) and have subcontrted thier work load to Hezbollah.<BR/>(Remember, Castro spread his Fidelistas to Africa and South America.)<BR/>This doesn't mean that they'll subvert their ardor to venality, but prudent operatives would do well to be exploiting it.<BR/>It was the decadence of Rome when revealed that killed the empire. Not all bad examples have to be llaid at the feet of the West.

Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." by Biden<BR/><BR/><BR/>I also believe the Obama/Biden team will do nothing to help Israel, and this is what Biden was talking about when he said Obama would need the support of his followers to stand with him, because it would not seem apparent that how he was reacting would seem right.<BR/><BR/>"And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right." by Biden<BR/><BR/><BR/>I believe Joe Biden believes Obama meant what he said when he said the following:<BR/><BR/>In “Audacity of Hope” he writes: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope.<BR/><BR/>We will have to see how fast Obama pulls the troops out of Iraq, and I can only wonder what will happen if Iran attacks Israel, while over 100,000 American boots are on the ground in Iraq who may or may not be given the orders to react.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644244465548927962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-38966511870058322242008-10-22T11:07:00.000-07:002008-10-22T11:07:00.000-07:00The Iranians seem desperate to attack.

Their first attempt failed when the Somalis captured their dirty bomb, so now they will have to try a direct attack.<BR/><BR/>The Revolutionary Guard is the best that Iran has, yet they couldn't beat Saddam's army. An attack on Israel wouldn't be a sneak attack, the Israelis would know first as the Iranians would have to go through Syria and/or Jordan to get to the nation. But Israel's retaliation against Iran would be devestating. Not just on their nuclear plants, but on their cities.<BR/><BR/>I hope that this is just more of the rhetoric that Iran does, but fear it isn't.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.com
