In Feb. Romney told Sean Hannity that a military action in Iran is "what's needed."

His military advisers are all the same tired old list of jingos from Bush like Bolton and Senor. Do you believe him telling Obama the opposite last night? If you're 21, get ready for your new deployment I'd say.

Exercise action

Red, commanded by retired Marine Corps Lt. General Paul K. Van Riper, used old methods to evade Blue's sophisticated electronic surveillance network. Van Riper used motorcycle messengers to transmit orders to front-line troops and World War II light signals to launch airplanes without radio communications.

Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue's fleet by the second day of the exercise. In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships. This included one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel. Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected.[1]



Leave Iran alone, after what the US did to overthrow a democratically elected gvnt in the 1950's & installing the Shaw & what Iranian had to live through for decades, the US has no business fucking with them.
