Reply #93: This is scary

I'd like to know how much has been beefed up in that region, in terms of the Air Force in particular. I know of some air support operations in Qatar, only 80 miles from Iran.

I seriously believe that we are not that far from strategic airstrikes, whether they are limited or not. The air force is quite ready to go, and has been for quite some time. It could be as little as a single cruise missile, but from what I have reading, an attack on many different facilities is the only thing that will work, in order to prevent a dangerous retaliation on Iraq, Israel and fleets in the area.

But given the geopolitical world, this could always be empty threats.

I just don't see that with this president.

If we declare war on Iran, I am declaring war on this government. I have had it.
