.... This guy also seems to ignore As preamble I have a practical understanding of it and its limitations. the US's truly prodigious capability to move people and goods by air... And if you look it you will discover it is all shock force troops to hold an area until the bulk of the troops arrive by conventional means. You will also learn it is a fair weather capability and anyone can download satellite images and predict the weather. which the Iranians would have virtually no ability to block...also the US's ability to rain destruction onto Iran from above...even without going nuclear...which, if "properly" implemented (don't hit civilian targets at all and stay away from military targets that have a higher probability of collateral damage) against the Iranian military only...would tend to destabilize the mullahs and either destroy Iran's ability to make war OR bottle the Iranian armed forces up in their cities... The destruction from above would play well at home and it might even be true that no civilians were harmed. But in the middle east it will be portrayed as targeting civilians and everyone there will believe it. Look at what Americans still believe about WWII if you don't think that will happen. As for aerial bombing I repeat, it failed in Germany during WWII. It increased not decreased the will to resist. It has increased the will to resist every time it has been tried. Both Vietnams, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Serbia you name it. It has always been troops on the ground that have been the deciding factor. For the US in Afghanistan it was the alliance with the drug lords and their mercenaries that provided the troops. Why in the world would you talk about bottling up Iranian troops in the cities as troops are not stationed in cities in the first place? In any confrontation they would be augmenting the Shia in the south and east of Iraq cutting off the land resupply from Kuwait. There is no way the US has the ability to air supply what is brought in from Kuwait. And if that is tried ****loads of shoulder fired AA rockets are going to find their way into Iraq to bring them down. Am I pessimistic? The last I heard planes landing at Baghdad airport still spiral in to avoid fire from the ground. Last I heard which was only six months ago the FIVE MILES of city street from the airport to the Green Zone still is NOT secured. Please tell me how all this is suddenly going to turn around. If the mullahs could be shown to be ineffective against the US while at the same time being hammered relentlessly militarily and causing "a little" discomfort to the Iranian people only, the mullahs will lose credibility with their own people and would likely be overthrown...from within. And that is on the assumption that Iranians are really Americans trying to get out from under the religious leadership. If they are overthrown they will be replaced by some group that is more effective against the American attacks. That is exactly what Americans would do if this country were under attack and losing because of incompetent leadership. Why do you assume Iranians would do differently from Americans? Remember, the only place in the Muslim world where there were spontaneous demonstrations of SORROW and SADNESS and in SUPPORT of the US after 9/11 was in IRANIAN cities...for God sake, built of that, don't squander it like Bush senior and Bush junior did in Iraq... It was squandered on Iran when the US attacked Afghanistan three months after 9/11 without justification and based upon a war announced in MARCH 2001. It was not the only place. Despite the Zionists lies the Palestinians also expressed sympathy while Netanyahu said 9/11 was a good thing for Israel. -- Before the Iraq war Brad Pitt was ridiculed for filming kite flying in Baghdad.

When considering US superior technology here is a question that a far from a trick question. The US constantly boasts of its night vision technology as a decisive superiority capability. What is the cheapest and easiest method to nullify that advantage that requires no extra effort or expenditure? I have had lots of guesses on that from bonfires to flares but none have gotten it right the first time. Care to make a guess? -- The WWII holocaust is the only one which the victims do not want investigated. It is also the only one where reparations are being paid. That is an odd combination. -- The Iron Webmaster, 3736 nizkor http://www.giwersworld.org/nizkook/nizkook.phtml antisemitism http://www.giwersworld.org/antisem/ a1 |

I can't think of any practical way of preventing heat emission except by insulation. So now I have to say only one person got it right the first time. That is precisely the point. Every strength is limited and can be negated as it is predicated upon a specific tactic. Night fighting is predicated upon enemy troops being massed at night instead of being at home in bed as in Iraq. If you cannot stand and fight then kill without doing that. If you get perfect armor they learn to spray poison gas. If they cannot be defeated never fight them. Just cause enough trouble they get called and then go away. Fake trouble calls. Let them kill the innocent as you can recruit the survivors. Attack 20 places and melt away but get calls as to where they do show up. Re-attack where they do not show up. How hard is this? Think simple. -- Whatever happened in the holy holocaust, ending it was never important enough to generate the least bit of gratitude. -- The Iron Webmaster, 3726 nizkor http://www.giwersworld.org/nizkook/nizkook.phtml environmentalism http://www.giwersworld.org/environment/aehb.phtml a9 |
