1. I agree. Well, partly, to be honest. "no one WILL stop him".
We can stop him and our representatives can. Some of our representatives may try to stop him but not in the numbers needed to do so.

6. Except A Military That's Broken
To quote his good friend, Rummy...you fight with the army you came with.

Right now the only real attack this country could do on Iran would be tactical air and missile strikes...and then even those are limited. We've dropped so much crap on Iraq that there's still a shortage of JDAMs and Cruise Missiles...things that would be vital to any Iran attack.

I can't see any way for a ground attack against Iran...with what and from where? An army fatigued by nearly 5 years of constant deployments and shrinking morale?

Yeah, Crashcart can play Napoleon, but with what troops?
