#1 Well, you're going to get your wish. But it will be Tallibunnies. I expect the deal will be to extract a few brigades back to USA or a Marine EF. Trade them laterally for another outfit or two to go to Afghanistan. NATO members outside of Canada and Britian are peaked out and why the hell would you count on the Dutch, Belgians, French and Germans to do anything that mean't killing people? So, you may not personally get your wish, but someone less bored will.

#2 Well, if we go after Iran, he might get his wish in spades.

#4 I'm theorizing that the jihad (and its shock troops) has moved back to Pakland, based on the bloody butcher's bill of the past few days.

#5 The Dutch are in the south and fighting. Even if most of it is defensive, they are doing much more than most other NATO members.

#7 We do NOT need to "go into Iran". What we need to do is to make Iran uninhabitable. We can do that with either conventional weapons or nukes. I'd prefer a mixture - use really DIRTY nukes on their nuke sites (except Bushehr), and level the rest of the country with conventional and non-nuclear unconventional weapons (fire bombs, Agent Orange, MOABs, 500-, 1000-, 2000-, and 5000-lb conventional weapons by the tens of thousands, napalm, willie-pete, 7.62mm mini-guns, 25mm, 30mm, and 37mm cannon, AMRAAMs, Hellfires, radar seeking missiles, FAM weapons, 125mm cannon shells, 155mm artillery, 76mm naval gunfire, GMLRS, GBUs, GBLUs, 6d nails, thumbtacks, and a kitchen sink or three). Once the country's been leveled, start dropping quick-drying cement and draw parking spots.

#8 I have repeatedly read that the youth of Iran are very pro American and copy our styles and pattern their lives after us. We do not want to slaughter them, but to help them to free themselves from the Islamofacists. We should take out their air force, and nuke sites, and force their navy to surrender or sink. We should use our Iranians to infiltrate and organize rebel movements. Then make our move to replace their religion, and form a representative government.
