I personally am over firing warning shots. The Iranians have been warned time and time again not to approach our ships. Now they have to start losing them (their boats). So we take out the boats as they come towards our ships, no warning, they just go bye-bye. Next we seed a mine field around their ports but still in international waters and keep them penned in.

Now let's cause some problems for them on their own turf. Incite the locals, make daily life very unpleasant for them, disrupt utilities and transportation services, any reason why their military can't worry about IED's? We have "true" stealth fighters now right? Why not knock their military aircraft out of the sky? "You say some of your aircraft are spontaneously combusting?" Better get that checked out.

No need to put thousands of American troops on the ground, I say turn Iran into a Special Forces playground. Give these guy everything they need and turn them loose. Go perfect your skills gentlemen.

Keep those goofballs so frickin' busy chasing ghost in their own country that they don't have time or resources to to cause mayhem elsewhere. Let's see how this option works and then adjust as needed.

Let the rest of the world realize "Hey if we screw with the Americans, some crazy stuff might start happening in our own backyard."

Oh Craig, that's good. I almost had some water come through the nose while reading that.

You're the man.

Aye, now that's 3.

Just think if we drilled our own oil, we wouldn't be worried abt getting oil from there, but China would, and they have to deal with those Yaho's, We'd have more money here and cheaper diesel.

I'm not sure, it was one of those things that appeared in my email, probably been forwarded 100 times. I usually delete emails I have to read but that one was worth saving.
