#1 I thought AAA ordnance had fuses that are supposed to prevent this kind of thing.

Keep in mind who the supplier is, comrade.

#6 I doubt we'll use manned aircraft for the initial strike, anyway. Maybe the Israelis would, but even that's doubtful - they have a capable stand-off weapon, even though I don't think it's been tested yet.

Gonna be real funny when there's this large explosion or six at the reactor containment building, THEN the AAA starts firing!

#7 Hmmm...something missing here. I don't see the condemnation of the US for indifference to civilian casualties. There must be some way to blame it on...

The incident occurred in Bushehr...

Ah-HA! IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!

With any Western/Western-trained force, yes. The Iranians haven't been in nearly thirty years.
