they may not be weakened iraq, you're right. but they still lack the capability to do much resisting. They have strong air defence capability, but these can be taken care of by missiles.
actually these do not need to be taken care of. All the U.S. wil do is launch a few missiles in irans nuclear sites and then start it's guardianship of israel

Eh. The torpedoes you're reffering to are said to be copies of russian models. In any case it doesn't matter if they're copies, but i doubht they'll ever use them against U.S. ships.
Reason #1. I don't think this will escalate into war.
Reason #2. Even if it does. The U.S. has learned it's lesson about occupation. It will be mostly air strikes.
Reason #3. if and when the U.S. decides to resort to military action, it will first make sure it's ships are protected. By either fitting them with the kind of missiles that hit other missiles, or by a surprise bombardment military targets before they bring their ships closer.

besides. Do you think the secret iranian weapons could come anywhere near to what the U.S. has?

In any case, my feeling is that iranians are bluffing, taking their chances for now, hoping the talks will prolong longer as they have so far. Until they can come up with a viable nuke that could strike israel and guarantee their security. But this will end with iraninans complying i think.


This is a question of being overwelmed. The US will be having a shortage of soldiers, they don't have enough man to attack everyone, air strikes have limits and they do need their air craft carriers, while they occupy Irak, it has a large common frontier and the Iranian army may well decide to invade Irak and attack the US army there, or easier, they could only lunch missles against US positions in Irak or in the adjacent countries.

The US knew during the first Golf war the Iraqi capacities, because of the equipments they sold or others have sold, we don't know everything the Iranians possess.

Dude, there are countless numbers of US soldiers stationed on Iraq, the Iranians have only to fire bunch of missles there killing hundreds of them, and let see what happens of the US administration.

that's why i doubt there's going to be a war. (not any time soon at least). Not until they're out of iraq and are able to commit to new war.

If there is a war, Armenia will really suffer. The US will be using Azeri soil to attack an Armenia ally, scrapping the Iranian pipline project and bring the US closer to Azerbaijan and then later Azerbaijan could attack Karabakh without being bothered. I fact, Azerbaijan is probably wishing for such a war to weaken Iran and help their brother in Northern Iran requesting autonomy the same way the Irqi Kurds will soon have.

I think that's a little extreme view. Although i hope that not how things turn out. In any case they'll not be invading from azerbaijan. They've learned their lesson about occupaiton. But if they do resort to military airstrikes from azerbaijan, it would jeopardize the baku cheihan or any other pipeline from azerbaijan, just as it would jeopardize the gas pipeline.

There is absolutely no way. Unless Iran does something really stupid like pull a 9/11 caliber stunt to send the American public running around like headless chickens (similar to the actual 9/11), there is no way the US is going to take military action against Iran.

PENTAGON CALLED REPORTS ON US INVASION OF IRAN SOON 'ABSURD SPECULATIONS'

*

Pentagon called reports on forthcoming US invasion of Iran “absurd speculations,” US military department’s official representative Bryan Whitman stated at a briefing in Pentagon.

“Like the international community the US President chose diplomacy as a preferred approach to stop Iran’s nuclear programs,” Bryan Whitman said.

At the same time Bryan Whitman did not fully deny the US has plans of military operations in the region. “No one will believe Pentagon does not have plans for all types of potential military developments, including those in Iran,” Whitman said. He remarked, Pentagon forms plans based on any development of the situation, RIA Novosti reports.

Excuse the obviousness:

Iran is not Iraq.

I do not see the possibility of an American air-strike anytime soon, but rather a sabotage of the IRI from within.

God bless him for negotiating a deal like that. Whats wrong with getting 400, 500 milion or even a billion dollars if you did your job?

Is it their fault that we all sit in our cars alone and drive 40 miles to work each way?

I agree with some of the points that you are making and each time I go to the gas station and end up paying 50+ dollars to fill up my small 4 cylinder car it misses me off too, but its not Exxon to be blamed nor is it their responsibility to spend a penny of their money to research alternative fuel vehicles. They are a huge cash cow now, but the years when oil was 8 or 10 or 15 or even 20 dollars a barrel and when they were loosing money I dont think any of us were sitting in front of the PC saying "Gosh maybe I should send money to Exxon"

And if the Japanese do a great job with the hybrid(the cars out there suck as the mileage improvement is not enough. They have to do better) less and less oil will be consumed and prices will come down to as demand will decrease. For now China and India are buying all the worlds oil. Gold too...

Everything else I agree, this administration is full of crooks who screw us and use our own blood as lubricant.
