Will the US go to War with Iran?

[Black Jack II]

Since the forum seems a little dead I got curious and decided to take a little poll on what people believe the percentages our that the US will go to War with Iran in the future?

[sanjuro_ronin]

I don't think they will be that stupid.

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

Well, we have troops east of there in Afghanistan, and West of it in Iraq. We are already positioned to go in there on 2 fronts simultaneously. Not to mention we have Naval access Via the Persian Gulf.

I think maybe neutralizing Syria first might be a good idea if we are planing on going into Iran....Israel seems to be starting trouble there now.

My guess is that it is possible, however I think we would already be seeing a media buildup to go to war with them before the elections to help insure a Republican victory....unless the plan is to wait untill the primaries are over.

I think it is just a matter of finding plausible Justification.

LOL, you realize we are talking about the U.S.....right?

*shakes head*
You don't win wars in other people's backyards, even more so when its more than 1 back yard.
Stupid to say the very least.

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

You do win them by surrounding them and going in on several fronts at once...and we are lined up for that right now if we want. Remember, we are not in anyone's back yard, we controll Afghanistan and Iraq. If it's anyone's *Back Yard*, it's ours. Neither will give any resistance to our use of thier land to stage an Iranian invasion.

No.
You don;t control anything.

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

If you think we couldn't use Afghanistan, and Iraq to base attacks on Iran, your blind, and a bit Nieve. We occupy BOTH territories. Both are under US controll, and what little shell of governments are there, are only there at our support.

You control nothing and wil control even less if you spread yourselves evne thinner.
Your issues with Turkey has to be solved first by the way...

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

Or lets put it this way, If Bush wants to go and invade Iran, what is there to STOP us from using Iraq, and Afghanistan to invade on multiple fronts?

[RD'S Alias - 1A]

How would we spread thinner? We are already there with a military build up. It's not like we would have to find more resources to do it, the resources are ALREADY in place.

Nothing, of course that would be stupid in all possible ways.
Not to mention you will bring Russia and China into this.
Not t to mention you will lose Turkey and its airspace.
Not to mention most instability and, by the way, you have no $$$ to do it.

Dude, you think you can fight a WAR with what is there ???
Not a few battles, a major war on mutiple fronts ??
