Now they want the troops to face incoming missiles, a well-trained and equipped military force of 500,000 men just across the border, and the threat of causing such upheaval that, if the Iraqis and Iranians joined forces they could destroy 130,000 Americans and bring untold grief from radiation fallout spreading throughout the Middle East. Our highly vaunted air power will not be aid troops commingled with the enemy on the ground, which could lead to the most disastrous military defeat in American history. Iran also has better-than-Exocet grade missiles with which they can destroy as many slow-moving oil barges as they wish, and most Navy ships as well. AND they will have the high ground from which to fire them. But dear god, let's not let facts get in the way – there's a lot more difference between Iraq and Iran than the last letters in their names.
