Bush doesn't even have enough troops to secure Iraq so how can he attack Iran if hundreds of 1000s of Iranians

Question

start poring into Iraq (right after Bush bombs Iran) backed up by 17 million of their Iraqi Shiite brothers? US troops in Iraq would be sitting ducks.

Yes, US nukes would probably do the trick but it could easliy start WW3 as well.

Answer 1

He could use air power and naval power exclusively to turn them back.

Answer 2

He'd have to be a lot less friendly to the Iranians than he is to the Iraqis.

The kind of restraint our military has shown is rediculous. If we were to use 1/10th of our full military strength in Iraq or Iran, neither countries would continue to exist. Any infastructure in Iraq exists only out of continuous generosity.

Answer 3

Have you seen the latest technology? You do not even need people on the battle field or air now. I watch Discovery channel all the time and they sometimes have shows on like "Mean Machines". One of the recent developments involves a robot that was originally developed for fixing underground water and sewer pipes. One of the Sergeants in the US military suggested putting special laser guidance systems on these units, along with everything from shot guns to grenade launchers, all controlled by soldiers with laptop computers from distance of up to one mile. They had an expert sniper go off into a field to hide and the soldiers with the robots were able to pinpoint his location in something like 5 minutes, and all the other robots were also able to close in on the sniper's location and provide backup for the other robots! Furthermore, the new Apache helicopter is amazing in the dark, and the new short range ground missile used in rocket launchers and computerized rovers can even fire a particular short range missile off target and the missile has a built in computer that redirects it in order to reach within 10 yards or less of the target (with satellite guidance systems), and reduces the chances of friendly fire tremendously!

Answer 4

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians won't pour into Iraq. Nobody will put America into a situation where we would be forced to use nuclear weapons to win a war.

We won't use troops in an attack on Iran, but rather bomb their nuclear enrichment sites.

Answer 5

Ummm, we haven't even used 1/4 of our military so, how do you figure we don't have enough? Besides we don't just need man power, we have plenty of advanced weapons to handle a war of that magnitude.
Don't forget Isreal is our allie and they aren't afraid to nuke Iran, just give them time.

Answer 6

Kensho feels like the coward he talks approximately, i exchange into in missions that had the US bombing IRAN 30 years in the past, ok 27. however the peanut farmer exchange into afraid that the beer could spill and had no thank you to handle u.s.. Thank Allah that Regan exchange into no puss and advised it as we communicate. Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini exchange into afraid of the yank conflict device then. The troops will combat a number of them will die. purely submit to in ideas u.s. hates a looser, we adore to win, no one celebrates a loss. the college backyard bully exchange into hated by using all and sundry not purely the human beings he picked on.

Answer 7

Tomahawks from a safe distance.
Tactical WMDs along the Border lines.

Answer 8

I say only by air as quick and hard as possible. Too bad we don't seem to know the exact sites of the nuclear places.

Answer 9

One tactical nuke = a bunch of AK-47's! Advantage: good guys!

Answer 10

What in this gosh dang planet are you talking about? Bush isn't going to bomb Iran. The next president is going to do that
