		<description><![CDATA[Have you looked at the developments since we posted our comments here? 
 
Americans belonging to the threatened &quot;Stennis&quot; fleet, have rescued Iranian sailors from Somali pirates in the Arabian sea ! How convenient ! The Iranian generals have responded positively to this rescue...  
 
 Now all that remains is to frolick all the way to Turkey for further negotiations , as Iran is given some more time to build its nuclear arsenal, suppress its people in the much anticipated uprising in March ( during the islamic assembly elections) and create a fait accompli scenario with a nuclear test sometime in 2012.

		<description><![CDATA[Amused, gassing the Kurds, PROOF that Saddam had and USED WMDs. 
 
Yet the deceitful left, progressively fascist left, proclaim that Saddam had no  WMDs. Why? Because Saddam said so, And who wouldn&#039;t believe a man of peace like Saddam?

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t necessarily disagree with you (in fact, we agree on most things).  However, the Iranians are vulnerable in one place, more than all else.  Our &quot;Schwerpunkt&quot; should be Kharg Island, and the mainland pumping stations.  Destroy these facilities, in which 70-80% of Iran&#039;s oil exports flow, and their economy collapses, overnight.  Then, the government collapses, changing everything. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Based on Iran&#039;s past record as an active promoter of Islamic revolution and terrorism, it is likely that these Radicals would do something crazy by playing games in the Straight of Hormuz....It is going to require some cool heads and actions that could escalate the situation no matter what is done.      The blame for Radicals acquiring this kind of boldness lies with politicians, appeasers of Terrorist regimes, and the people that continue to vote for Leftwingers who do not care about America, national security, the people, or the Safety of the World.  You have to wonder at the sanity of our elected officals who have allowed so many things to escalate to this point!   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Swarm attacks in the gulf or straights may have some success - remember the Kamikaze attacks on the fleet off Okinawa in 1945.   30+ US ships sunk, many others including an Essex Class Carrier severely damaged and 5,000 US personnel killed.   Do not underestimate the enemy.  Iranian leaders are at times irrational.  Remember the Iran-Iraq War.  They sacrificed thousands of young boys in human was attacks against Iraqi positions Soviet style defensive positions.  A nation which will sacrifice its children in mass attacks against a relatively formidable foe is capable of virtually any thing regardless of cost.       ]]></description>

The Islamic Republic of Iran needs to be punished. 
 
It&#039;s LONG overdue. 
 
Plus there is an opposition in Persia that would love help from the West to overthrow the ayatoolahs who have made Persia a living hell.

		<description><![CDATA[I wonder how good our intelligence is and just how many spies we have in Iran. 
Who can tip us off to what is really up, in other words will we be prepared or 
just react. Either way hell fire is in store for the Mullahs, if we take losses all 
the worse for them. The entire middle east is in a mess and to allow nuclear 
weapons in the hands of psycho&#039;s is out of the question, the quantum leap in 
potential damage is horrific. Thinking on the fact Iran is building ICBM bases 
in Venezuela and proceeding witht he work as fast as is possible does not 
make me big on drawing this out. If it is going to go nasty I hope our field 
commanders have it together and no politicians are going to impede actions.

		<description><![CDATA[ 
Whenever you want to assess IRI military strategy, you have to think &quot;asymmetric&quot;. In Iran&#039;s case, this means, missiles, terrorism, naval mischief and pipeline/oil field disruptions. Even if or when they do deploy their naval power, they will use it in a &quot;guerrilla&quot; manner, only in a large scale. The reason is that they lack self confidence even when they roar.  
 
However, this does not mean that they are bluffing. We all remember weaker forces confronting the American might, thinking they could beat it on their own turf or terms. Saddam was one example. 
We also remember how the IRI ejected the US from Lebanon in the early 1980s ( During Reagan mind you!) and succeeded to take over much of Iraq during Bush and Obama.  
 
The IRI may &quot;reasonably&quot; think therefore, that it can defeat the US again, under certain conditions, particularly considering the weak and sometimes sympathetic American administration. What are these conditions? 
 
Iran which owned Bahrain until 1971, is still able to stage mass uprisings within yards of the parked US fleet. I agree with Timmerman therefore, when he says perhaps the Stennis was just moved out of harm&#039;s way.  
The IRI can fire hundreds of missiles at regional oil installations thinking it will gain the support of all the oil hungry nations and force a stalemate of a new arrangement in the Persian Gulf.  
The IRI can wage large scale terrorism in the neighborhood ( Persian Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palesinian areas,...) as well as INSIDE the US where they are thought to have huge terrorist and espionage networks. 
Then they might think the US will never invade the Northern shores of the Hormoz Straights, and the IRI can sit there and fire missiles at the straights, after lunch and high noon prayers every day. 
 
Please note that both the IRI and the US, have agreed to resume nuclear &quot;negotiations&quot; perhaps in Turkey, any day now; in which case the Hormoz Straights affair may well be part of this diplomacy; however, we remember that while successive US administrations thought they had air tight policies on Iran, in the end it was usually the Islamic Republic which forced the US into military confrontations as well as diplomatic affairs. The US almost never had the initiative in either arena, because of its dubious &quot;tolerance&quot; for the Islamc Republic, like a father tolerating his son&#039;s mischief.

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Timmerman is on the money.  Regime in Iran is in crises. Best weapon is to choke the terrorist mullahs financially. 80% of their revenues are derived from oil.  The US must pull out to safe waters and not allow Iran to sell a barrel of oil.  Arab countries disgusted with Iran and the threat posed by them will increase their oil production to make up for any lost oil. With Iran not being able to meet its financial obligation, there will be mass desertion. Already IRGC and Basij are telling us they want to desert and defect.  They are looking for the right time.  Iran is in crises and wants war to consolidate its power inside.  With weakened Iran. The opposition will take care of the rest-much like Syria. Waiting and buying Iran time as suggested by Iran lobby (NIAC)- will enable the mullahs build the bomb-and you think we have problems now!!!! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like I have stated before I wish those SOB&#039;s would try to attack. It would give us a chance to get some long overdue payback. Our Navy would make mincemeat out of them. 
 
Those diaper heads in charge know this. They talk the talk but don&#039;t walk the walk. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Kilo is a good boat, very quiet, and good qualities.  Unfortunately for them, the Persian Gulf is shallow, and with every ship and helo pounding the water with active sonar, any Kilo that ventures out of port will be put on the bottom in short order. 
 
And concerning the fast boats, I was under the impression that US Navy vessels still had guns?  This doesn&#039;t take into consideration F/A-a8s which can go a little faster than 80 knots, and gunships.  Is the Navy not being allowed to adapt to threats to it? ]]></description>
