The Light of Truth
Who said anything about a cakewalk?All the belly-buttons in the world will have no effect here.Which tells me they have the stomach for a long war and we don't.
We could use our aircraft and navel power to sweep the gulf of Iran's Navy, but the Iranians can still use mines or Surface to Ship missiles to take out passing tankers.
As I said- action would need to be taken to eliminate all the assets necessary to affect the blockade. That includes their minelyaing and SSM sites.
A blockade of the straits carries a substiantial probability of irrepiarable harm to the economy of the world, including the US. Not taking immediate effective action to protect this particular line of communication is not an option.
Absurd thought, that this is just Israel's fight.Maybe we should let Israel fight it's own damn war for a change.
Ha ha, I caught the spelling error there after I made it..
Okay, guy, all good and stuff, but honestly, I remember the last few times we were told a conflict was going to be a cakewalk, and it wasn't.
No one wants Iran to have a nuke.The only reason this is a fight at all is because Israel doesn't want Iran to have a nuke,
The threat of such a thing should be readily apparent to everyone.
