NEW: US Evacuates Embassies in Israel, Iraq; UPDATE: China Urges Citizens to Leave Iran
US evacuates non-essential embassy staff from Israel and Iraq amid rising tensions with Iran.
First, this is not going to be a “war”, let alone another Vietnam. So save all of the tired, old canned retorts. They are all crap. This will be a precision strike, presumably to (1) degrade or destroy nuclear material; and (2) destroy/degrade their ability to enrich uranium and otherwise manufacture and engineer a nuclear weapon. In addition, while I doubt Daddy would go this far, we could hit other targets, like military and paramilitary forces to help the revolutionaries in Iran, AND bomb the shit out of Tehran to teach the Ayatollahs and Mullahs about consequences.
Bombing the Ayatollah and the Mullahs in Iran has always seemed … oh, I don’t know … it seems like our leaders considered it taboo. It was like Iran was off limits because we did not want to direct terror attacks against us. Of course, that is not a reason to refrain from pursuing one’s national interests. In fact, you are surrendering to the terrorists when you do this.
Iran is a Third World country with outdated military hardware. They have a couple helicopters and some Soviet MiGs. That is the entirety of its Air Force. We will wipe it out in the first 30 minutes, or less, of our assault. The backbone of Iran’s navy is a cadre of outboard-equipped speed boats. The military’s duty rifle is an AK-47. Their defenses will not even be a speed bump for us.
They will fire some rockets at Israel and our bases. This risk is nominal. Plus, who cares? The importance of the mission (to prevent Iran from getting nukes) outweighs the risk.
