Somone asked the question what would our troops have to expect if John McCain were President concerning Iran.
The post sounded like it was from someone who had never served but likes to complain about America. My post was about the economy and the corruption in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The way I see Iran is something like this. If Iran gets close to a nuclear weapon Israel will probably attcak them. Whatever forces Iran has left, they will attack the Saudis, Kuwait, Qatar, and the Emirates. Ths Saudis will counter and the the rest of the world will be hard put not to get involved. The Iranians will probaly use chemical weapons as they have done in the past. It is this very scenario that we really don't want Israel to attack Iran.
It is hard for westerners to understand the mindset of Islamic Jihadists. They really don't care about dying, since they are going to be met by all them virgins in paradise. Anyone who has been over there knows that not all people are like that. But the leaders in Iran are Jihadists and they DO want to wipe Israel off the map.
Not that I want to give my AF buddies a big head, but IF there is any action against Iran it would more than likely come in the form of Alpha strikes similar to what was completed against Serbs and Iraq. Not that you would understand that.
John McCain understand that to negogiate you must have a big stick. Obama thinks the UN security counsel with Russian and China veto power is the way to peace. He proved this when the Russians invaded Georgia. And that is the country, not the State.
