We invaded Iraq with an American army and it's right next door.

Not to mention Afghanistan, which doesn't even have handy sea access.
GAH!

Blonde right wing bimbos, you gotta love them, bless....

It must be quite a shock for Julia Gillard to find that President Barack Obama's re-election somehow transformed her into Australia's male, Christian president who "actually supports what he says".

The part of Iraq we were concerned with was flat treeless plain were our advantage in armor and air power could to be used to maximum effect. Iran on the other hand except for the southwest corner is filled with ambush opportunities. Civilian believe the tank is invulnerable; it is not, in forest, mountain and the urban environments it quite vulnerable to the lowly infantry man.

I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

And we didn't really fight anybody out in the flat treeless plain area. Mostly in cities and other areas full of ambush opportunities.

I wonder what universe Liberty gets his news from.

Lately it's just got downright odd
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I just realized that Donald Trump is posting here and using the name 'liberty' as his handle.

It's time for a revolution!

Now all those posts of his are easier to understand & to put into their proper perspective.

Strop I think the ability and training of the American soldier is such that they could take the Isle of Man, even with the considerable handicap of having you lead them.... :nana

What is it that you don’t believe? Listen Crack, if Obama could pull off a successful l invasion of Iran I would scream from the roof tops that he is the greatest military genius since Alexander the Great. I just don’t think it is possible, not at least with the small tired army we have. Iran will have nukes and there is nothing that we can do about it except possibly arm the Arabs with nukes as a counter measure.
Where do I get my news? The same place as you; I just see it differently. And I could be wrong, but only time will tell. We have no way for sure to know how they will act with their nukes until they get them.

You grossly underestimate what the US military could accomplish if it really wanted to invade Iran.
