He's playing to The Family, which DOES want to conquer Iran and North Korea. Nuts, but they have money. Lots of it.

quote: No he was being strategic, but he didnt even hint at tactics, and to read any into what he said is speculation at best.

Strike only their missile bases. 2. Let Israel do it. So, if Israel attacks only their missle bases in Iran there will be no counter attack from Hezbollah from the north, no attack against US installations remaining in Iraq, and no bottle neck in the Straights of Hormuz? Are the Persians that easy to knock off? Do you think Gingrich has a reasonable position?

Hes too much of a dove on the issue.

I'm trying to be nice here....but you're as fucking batshit nuts as Gingrich(okay,I lied...I don't give a fuck about being mice to you [:D])

Whoa, cold war thinking. We could not find the Iraqi mobile missle units in Gulf War I. Fortunately for Israel cities they were pretty inaccurate. Israel was highly ineffectual fending off the more recent Hezbollah missle attacks.

Your concerned about missiles, if anybody has the materials to make a suitcase bomb are a dirty weapon it is Iran.

FR- I wonder why we are so freaked out about the possibility of a nuclear Iran, when it is more than likely that within the next 5 years radical Muslims will overthrow the weak ineffective Pakistani govt and we will be facing a nuclear Islamic state. But its not like they will be pissed at us for endlessly bombing their civilians or anything. But we should also keep in mind we lived with a nuclear Stalin and nuclear Mao for a few decades. The neocons like Newt have a megalomaniac desire for America uber alles, an America that controls every last nation on earth, a worlview that is based on abject fear of dealing with others as equals.

It was widely reported then conveniently forgotten that Mr Kahn of Pakistan supplied the nuclear recipes to Iran. We really don't know who is on our side over there.... a safe bet.... nobody. Time to stop wasting young american lives and $100s B upon unreliable "partners." Bring the troops home. Dismantle the boondogle Homeland Security Agency and deploy slim, fast counterterrorist squads to protect our vital ports of entry. A good place to start would be by learning from the NYC antiterrorist squad. Don't know how we can justify sending 100,000 armed troops and 100,000 armed contractors to hunt down 50 Al Quaeda and fight an assortment of Afghan tribes who never attacked us in the first place. Silliest damn govts these past ten years. at least Clinton had sense enough not to involve our boots on the ground even though he could keep his fly zipped. wtf?

It's a chance we cannot- and that the world, ultimately, will not- take.

Are you the only one dumb enough to think they have all of the material in one location with a big target and sign that says "place bomb here"?

You put too much confidence in the highly disbursed troops we have "surrounding" Iran.

Eventually it adds up to big numbers.... to paraphrase the late Sen Dirkson.
