| #5 We talk talk talk about the hardened target Iran has. And some worry that they will be able to withstand our's or Israel's attacks. The hardened sites can be dealt with like any hardened site. You can envelope it, bypass it, ya know, 10 level tactics and I vote to bypass them. Killing the people that go to and from the sites are another story. The 26 divisions Iran has are sitting out in the open, their communications are sitting out in the open, their infrastructure is weak, their logistical line of communications to the military is weak, the lines to support the civilians is even weaker. We don't need to hit the bunkers. Hit them in their soft spots, their comms, their, oil, their military bases, their scientists. Leave the Cities alone. You destroy the logistics that feeds the cities and you will have mass starvation in short order and we will have to support another population. |

| #4 The people of Iran are becoming skeptical of the legitimacy of the mullahs and are growing more cynical of the "Islamic Revolution". That can only be good crosspatch. |

| #3 I believe it is more likely that change will come to Iran from within rather than from outside. I would carefully watch events in Lebanon over the next 6 to 12 months. Note that Najaf, Iraq is traditionally the center of Shiite theology and that with every passing year, Najaf will likely gain more and more influence. Qom, Iran has certainly lost influence over the people of Iran and this loss of influence may spread throughout the Shiite population globally as the clerics of Qom are increasingly seen as corrupt thugs bent on gaining and maintaining power and wealth and using the Islamic religion only as a mechanism to that end. The people of Iran are becoming skeptical of the legitimacy of the mullahs and are growing more cynical of the "Islamic Revolution". |

| #2 I wouldn't expect any action against Iran for another couple of years (seriously). Posted by: crosspatch 2010-07-05 13:15 Two years? Well, of course, that timetable would allow for a new president who is more understanding, sympathetic, and supportive of our good ally, Israeli...Unless Iran is able to fast-track their way to a nuclear weapon more quickly. Then things might happen more quickly. Moon addresses many of the tactical issues necessary for a successful strike: intelligence, stealth, blinding of radar and detection systems, deception, logistics, and re-fueling. The Iranian facilities are "hardened." I wonder if Israel has the means to deliver bunker buster bombs that can penetrate and destroy these facilities? |

| #1 Another article buying into the notion that the Truman in the area "means" something. Truman relieved Eisenhower on Friday. I wouldn't expect any action against Iran for another couple of years (seriously). |
