Aerial Bombardment of Iran would Eclipse 'Shock and Awe' of 2003
"Tiger" wrote in message ... AirRaid wrote: Why all the trigger happiness about IRAN??? North Korea is the one actually testing nucs? We are still in Talk mode with IRAN Because North Korea HAS tested a nuke, and has thousands of tub artillery within range of the capital of South Korea, it's basically impossible to play rough with North Korea without restarting a full scale war. The lesson is to escalate the pressure BEFORE a nation tests a bomb. Like Iran NOW, not next year or the year after. With nukes only preemption works - once they have it you can't really pressure them anymore. |
