#1 Iranian "airmen", did I read that right? as in 'iranian air force"? I know they have some left over export versions of the F-14 and a whole lotta ex-iraqi air aircraft ( thats the very definition of the worst kind of hardware hand-me-down!) but other that tactical air defence pieces and silkworms anti shipping missles , what do they have to offer?

These guys were fought to a standstill by that great menacing islamic superpower, iraq( insert cynical grimace here). They have no navy to speak of, and they are a conscript army of the worst kind, with no history of winning wars of any type since the reign of Cyrus the great about 3000 years ago.

I feel like we are being taunted by a seventh grade smartass kid, who just learned to smoke and say nasty words.

Oh yeah, who on our side governemnt or media ( besides the blogosphere) has said anything about attacking Iran? Is it " Me thinks they doth protest too much..." or are they more than a little shook up over how fast their hillbilly next-door neighbors got tossed out on the street( you remember - the afghani "quagmire" that would take years and thousands of troops to take over)....
