Well, the shoe is on the other foot now to see who is the one that could likely be the only Communist sympathizer and I doubt it's me or Trevor.mah29001https://www.blogger.com/profile/14534560947847502694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1171167909472279652007-02-11T17:25:00.000+13:002007-02-11T17:25:00.000+13:00An additional point is that any air strikes on Ira...An additional point is that any air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities would have to use nuclear-tipped weapons in order to reach through the bunkers in which sites exist.

They are close to Iran and will go nuts if the place is attacked. The US would have to use Iraqi airspace and possibly land as well in any realistic air campaign, and the Iraqi government would not allow this. So Bush would have to blatantly disregard the Iraqi democracy he says he is fighting for.<BR/>A Shia uprising, or even just armed action by the Mahdi Army and the Badr Brigades (the second of which is now largley incorporated inot the Iraqi police and armed forces) could easily cut off the supply line that goes from Kuwait to Baghdad, and leave the US forces in most parts of the country reliant on air drops. This is real double or nothing stuff, and it goes badly the US might never recover its influence in the Middle East. <BR/><BR/>Does Act have a policy of support for US air strikes against Iran?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1171166074044346232007-02-11T16:54:00.000+13:002007-02-11T16:54:00.000+13:00President Ahmadinejad's real views are summarized ...President Ahmadinejad's real views are summarized on this website: ahmadinejadquotes.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18947592.post-1171149130346283562007-02-11T12:12:00.000+13:002007-02-11T12:12:00.000+13:00I personally think that if Bush took the Douglass ...I personally think that if Bush took the Douglass MacArthur route with Iraq and Afghanistan, he would have an easier time with Iran and even North Korea.
