Iran test-fires long-range missile

Iran is not an emaciated Iraq. If we go to war with Iran it will make the Iraq war look quite mild by comparison.

 

My guess would be that the missiles aren't as long range as the ones the US have... or as many...

 

Me thinks you have a gift for understatement!

Wonder how that missile will fair against the latest and greatest version of the Patriots?

Let's see Israel or the US srikes first and nothing left of Iran...

Iran strikes first and one or two get through...

Israel and/or the US retaliates, and, nothings left of Iran...

Seems to me with the same ending we might consider cutting any friendly losses?

Of course if Iran were to renounce their Nuclear goals and the eradication of Israel...

I suppose the right thing to do would be to not attack them...

Seriously, if Iran launches even one missile on a tajectory to Israel. Israel will launch. And, I don't hold much hope that they will not use Nukes...

Of course Iran won't change...

So, it's all only a matter of time...

Iran may not need to since there is no proof that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon.

And, even if Iran had nuclear weapons, I seriously doubt that it would use them in a first strike against us or one of our allies - for the reason you mention.

Or does he believe that his god will make him the victor against any army in the world.

 

Admadinejad would not be the person with his finger on the nuclear button - especially since even if Iran was going to try to build a nuclear weapons, and was successful, it would be the 2010's before they could accomplish that goal.

But the mullahs are the ones calling the shots in Iran, not Admadinejad. He serves as president only at their pleasure.

I think that Admadinejad simply enjoys mouthing off nonsense and then watching the West have conniption fits over his words, which then leads to higher oil prices and more money for Iran.

 

Gee, it looks like we invaded the WRONG country. I hate it when that happens.

 

Well if you are thinking we may have to invade Iran then your above statement is wrong and short sighted. I agree with others that have said Iraq will be a picknick complaired to Iran. In that case wouldent it make sence to swatt the fly that was saddam before atacking the giant next door.

In other words, there is no doubt that Saddam hated us and would do anything to hurt us. If we have to go into Iran, would we want him in power next door.

 

Good point...

Also, the knowledge to make a low yield dirty Nuke is pretty much freely available...

Maybe they wouldn't be able to make a small compact Thermonuclear Missile launchable high yield warhead until 2010...

But, all a small low yield bomb requires in enough highly enriched fissionable material...

They already have the knowledge and machine shops capable of doing the fabrication...

They might lose a few people due to radiation poisoning...

But, I don't think that would bother them...
