Does Iran want to have a war with us?

Let's nuke the poopyheads lol.
:bills:

Dolphins suck ZING!

Iran wants us to avert attention form Iraq to try and make this even more of a two front war. If we goto Iran right now it would be a HORRIBLE military disaster I think. Even though Iran is fit a regime change I have to say...

Let's just calm down a minute.
We can count on the next administration for this one.

That thread I started last month had a quote by a Russian ex-general who said, by May 1 the US goes at it with Iran.

Does Iran want a fight? yes they do. They want a excuse to turn the gulf into tanker graveyard and force us to pay ohhh 7 bucks for a gallon of gas...

[uppy]

It looks like they want a fight .....but I don't see them turning the gulf into tanker graveyard

[Matt]

My worst fear is the end of the Iraq war cascading into the beginning of an Iran war, and entirely new presidency with potential ruined by the prospect of the Middle East.

We are in quicksand.

I do how is a tanker going to outrun a antiship missile? The tankers will be sitting ducks And unfortunatly Iran has enough soviet missiles to turn the gulf into that a graveyard for tankers. How many would need to be sunk before the Tanker co refuse to travel thru the gulf? not that many...

Morosely though, it would be cool to live through. Our own version of the Great Depression. Then we would really have something to throw in the faces of youngsters when we got old instead of just, "I remember when you had to TYPE words into a computer, you snot-nose."

isn't that why we just shipped over a buttload of Patriot missles and steamed another carrier into the Gulf?

Patriot missles are no good at bombing nuclear facilities, right?

I'm no expert but I believe they are for knocking down missiles.

But they might be used in other ways any experts out there?
