LOL.
But really, the US would never invade IRAN. It is a much bigger country than Iraq and with a much more capable army. Not to mention that they control the Straights of Hormuz which sees 40% of the worlds oil passing through it daily.

Also, it would send Hezbollah and Syria into Israel and Iraqi Shia's would rise up in Iraq causing huge problems for the US. We don't even have enough manpower for Afghanistan, let alone Iran.
.

I disagree...if we started a full scale war with them...they wouldn't last very long. Also, Israel can definitely hold their own.

We have the manpower for Afghanistan, it just was never used. There was maybe 40,000 there tops. Now I think there is about 10?
