How far should we go to stop Iran from getting Nukes

SM, I have no doubt that we could capture Tehran. How we would get the troops? It would require a mobilization. We simply don't have them anymore in the regular Army and Marine Corp. We would have to call up the bulk of the reserves and National Guard. Considering the fact that the National Guard, after deployments in Iraq, only has 30% of it's heavy equipment (the bulk of their equipment has been left in Iraq for the troops rotating into the theatre), that presents a large problem. I'm not going to say we couldn't get it done, but we would have the stripmine, in my opinion, most of our remaining forces overseas for their equipment, if not for their boots on the ground. As that would mean being exposed in other dangerous potential trouble spots, it would be a terrific gamble.

And if we did all that, it doesn't answer the biggest question... how do we hold what we've got?

Deckard,

In the immortal words of Sam Fisher- "Why are you wearing smarty pants to a stupid party?"

StupidMoniker has taken all of this time and effort to make the incredibly asinine point that it would be POSSIBLE for the US to occupy some geographical area of Iran for some undefined period of time. He's not even trying to make the case that it would be a successful occupation in terms of US interests. See how clever he is.
