Links look legit tho... WAR not was... typo fixed in subject line been a lot of talk about Israel and/or US and Iran - as early as spring when the Israelis are so inclined, or in the Fall if Obama can stall them to at least give the appearance of letting sanctions fail (as they will). As for Egypt v Israel, there have been issues on the border with the change in government. No one is really controlling it on the Egyptian side and the IDF crossed over after some attackers. But that really isn't the sort of thing that would lead to a full out war. The current government may not feel it needs to honor its commitments to peace with Israel, but I don't see them anxious to go to war either. But I can certainly see leadership doing some posturing/pandering to the mob and talking a lot of nonsense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #5 February 22, 2012 It may be helpful for the U.S. to remind Iran and Egypt how quickly and completely the Iraqi Military, the 4th largest in the world at the time, was defeated using nothing but conventional weapons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gravitymaster 0 #7 February 22, 2012 We also have some major upgrades in our "bunker-busters" that would make some of the bombs dropped on Kandahar look like firecrackers. The new bombs are 30,000 lbs. The ones we used in Afghanistan were 5,000 lbs. Those were so powerful that some of the allies thought the 5,000 lb bombs were nukes. I can only imagine the power of a 30,000 lb. bunker buster. I really don't think Iran wants a war with the U.S. or Israel. Hopefully, this can all be brought to an end without anyone dying.
