Iran Threatens U.S., Persian Gulf Cities with Missile Attacks

The Administration has already made their decision. The Secretary clearly said that Iran would get the bomb in 12 months and we would not let them. Military operations are already underway with NATO and Israel. 10,000 US troops will soon be in Israel to man anti-missile defense. The Saudi's have already given the OK for fly over and other things. Expected three week bombing will be after June and before September. This is regime change with boots on the ground. Can't say any more at this time.

it is bunch of rubbish. The problem is USA does not know anything about Iranian military capabilities and they are facing thousand of missiles from every direction to their bases even outside the region. According to Iranian military USA has the privilege of starting a conflict but we are the ones who decide where and when to finish it. The reality is there are no option on the table. One missile to Saudi Arabia oil installations is finishing the world economy as we know it. The only option USA has is to accept nuclear Iran and accommodate them base on equal and mutual respect. USA can not bomb all the unfriendly countries in to democracy.

I personally think we need to blow the SHIITE out of IRAN, and SUNNI or later Israel will with or without our help.

1. Obama and his Admin suck.
2. Obama will only offer help if he can get re-elected.
3. Obama is anti Israel and is pro Muslim.
4. Obama never does anything that isnt calculated to help him even if it means bringing down the United States.
5. Israel will have to go it alone because Obama is a anti-semite and its obvious at how he has treated Bibi Netanyahu and told Israel to divide their land even more.
6. Obama and his Admin suck! Whoops said that already.

I always love to see the "war is never the answer crowd" and their talk about big oil, military industrial blah blah blah. Certainly there have been unnecessary wars but there are also those bad apples in the world with whom you can negotiate and those with whom you can't. With those who you cannot reason with, if they pose a serious enough danger or they commit acts of aggression, then you fight to defend your interests. Simplistic yes - but realistic as well. Anyone remember what we had to do to win our Freedom in the 1700's, preserve the nation in the 1860's.... save the world in the 1940's??? Let Iran become a nuclear nation and see what happens when they have that "ace" in the hole. You think they are state sponsors of terrorism now??? Imagine how they will act when they have a nuclear deterrent!! Unfortunately, I think a war is going to happen sooner or later, one way or the other.

Are these people on crack or what, do they really think, if they attack any American interests, or American vessels, it would "dissuade" us from doing anything? I would think it would be the last thing they do!

If one carrier gets hit by a torpedo the boys North Dakota will spin up the LGM-30 Minuteman without approval. In the process of 'Snap Count" you hit a carrier you hit a city. You hit a US city then your country is set back 1200 years.

War is never the answer. I haven't seen one U.S. diplomat even try to talk to the Iranian regime. Obama promised to talk to the Iranians and to come up with a solution but his weak kneed lies have caught up to him as he has joined the Neo-cons in waging perpetual war for the sake of big business oil. Obama sounds more like Dick Chaney than a Democrat. Ron Paul is right, all this regime wants to do is wage war for the sake of oil and the Military Industrial Complex... we are doomed as a people if we think we can maintain this empirical status with Great Britain.

Are they insane? We've been waiting 30 years to send them back to the stone age.
Sixty minutes after Iran fires on a US carrier, the country is one giant smoldering crater. Then we hit it again just to watch the rubble bounce.
President Peace Prize would looooove to have a war just in time for his re-election campaign.

Keep flapping the gums Iran! We'll see how much flapping they'll be doing after about 200 Tomahawks take you out. Nice going putting the enrichment site inside the mountain, we will seal that shut with 1 30000 lb super bunker buster so we won't even have to worry about fallout. Your so called "Navy" will be completely eliminated in a matter of minutes, the same with your oil refineries. No ground troops whatsoever and it will all be over in less than 48 hours.
