ADDITION:
Turns out, the article CNN had, was basicly a copy of the zogby poll.

We killed their people, its only natural they would want to kill ours. So as I said, in a way justice was dealt. They go on the eye for an eye strategy. We raped and killed their women, murdered their people in massacres, planted weapons to cover-up. I'm sure even I would not let them get away with it. If the only way to hurt them is on their home soil, then so be it.

incredibly stupid joke above...

Total bullcrap with absolutely no water. Iran has the resources to engage and defeat the US. (At least in IRan.) Maybe not in a foriegn country but you didn't specify.

Approximately 1.4 million personnel are currently on active duty in the military with an additional 860,000 personnel in the seven reserve components (456,000 of which are in the Army and Air National Guard)

PHILADELPHIA - Even in black pants, a black vest and long-sleeved shirt, Amish flower vendor David Stoltzfus had no complaints about working outdoors Tuesday as the stagnant air simmered at close to 100 degrees.

"I do it every day, work in warm weather," said Stoltzfus, who came from his farm in Lancaster County to sell flowers near Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square. "We're fine. I'm comfortable."

But he was among the few people not complaining about the heat wave that has gripped much of the nation with temperatures in the 90s and 100s since the weekend. Cities cross the country took steps to ease the health threat and conserve energy.

In New York City, the mayor ordered city offices to turn off unnecessary lights. In Pennsylvania, swimming pools stayed open late and summer school classes were dismissed early.

In Washington Square Park in Manhattan, sweaty residents cheered when a large fountain shot on and started wading in the ankle-deep water. No one worried about whether it was dirty.

"It's too hot to care about that stuff right now," said Alex Glowacki of Brooklyn. "And anyway, it doesn't look all green and slimy like it usually does, so I feel OK without shoes on."

The thermometer hit 93 degrees by 1 p.m. in Central Park, the
National Weather Service said. The heat index, measuring the combined effects of heat and humidity, was expected to reach 104.

Heat advisories and warnings were lifted for much of Pennsylvania, except for the southeastern portion that includes Philadelphia. Parts of the Midwest also got a little relief from a Canadian cool front. The 8 a.m. temperature in Milwaukee was 65, compared with 76 at the same time Monday.

The Northeast could get a break starting Tuesday night, with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected for parts of the region, but the heat was likely to persist in the southern Plains until Friday. Forecasts in Nebraska called for temperatures around 110 degrees Wednesday.

At least four deaths have been blamed on the sweltering heat, and the weather is suspected in at least three others.

In New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg reminded residents to conserve electricity. He directed City Hall to do its part: Only natural light filtered into the rotunda Tuesday, and some passageways and rooms were dark.

"There's plenty of light coming through the windows — you don't have to keep the lights on — and if everybody did some of that, that would really save some electricity," the mayor said.

Jennifer Caban, 16, of Queens, said she cranked up the air conditioning in her home until it broke. So she was sitting in the shade. "It was the worst night's sleep I ever had," she said. "I woke up and there was a pool of sweat on my pillow."

Relief could not come soon enough for many people working outdoors.

In Newark, N.J., bicycle patrolman Manuel Arias' wore a uniform of black pants and a helmet as temperatures climbed well into the 90s.

"I'm on my fifth bottle," he said. "Yesterday, I drank 15 bottles."

The heat was blamed for the death of a Philadelphia woman found in her home on Monday, and outreach workers continued to check on homeless and elderly people. The city closed summer school at 11 a.m. again on Tuesday in buildings without air conditioning.

Utilities set records for electricity usage, and in Connecticut health departments advised people without air conditioning to cool off in senior centers, malls and movie theaters.

"If I see sprinklers or hydrants, I just drench myself," said New Haven, Conn., letter carrier Ceferino Roman, who walked his route in 20-minute intervals, taking breaks in between. "This is the worst."

In cities such as Allentown and Hartford, Conn., swimming pool hours were extended and sometimes fees were waived.

Transportation officials in Connecticut monitored the overhead lines that power some commuter trains to New York City because the cables tend to sag in extreme heat, causing delays.

The heat killed a 76-year-old Oklahoma City man in a house where the air conditioner was broken, officials said Tuesday. Three other deaths in Oklahoma were believed to be linked to the heat.

US action to pre-empt obvious Iranian responses, such as affecting tanker traffic through the Straits of Hormuz or moving Revolutionary Guard elements into parts of Iraq, could well mean that there would be immediate if apparent indications of comprehensive US military success in doing serious damage both to Iran’s presumed nuclear weapons development potential and in countering immediate Iranian responses. This could turn out to be as misleading as the early apparent successes in Iraq following regime termination within three weeks of the start of that war in March 2003. In fact, Iran has many options available in response, even if they are not options of immediate effect.

Straits of Hormuz: While one major aim of any US military action would be to forestall Iranian interference with Gulf oil exports, this would have to be near total in its effect on Iranian capabilities. This would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, leading to a fear of attack which alone would have a formidable impact on oil markets.

West Gulf oil facilities: Furthermore, it would be possible for paramilitary units linked to Iran to develop the ability to sabotage oil export facilities in western Gulf states such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. High levels of security would undoubtedly be maintained in these states, yet determined paramilitary groups would be difficult to control with certainty. Even one or two incidents of sabotage would raise tensions and further affect oil markets.

Revolutionary Guard: The Revolutionary Guard remains a strong if largely free-standing component of the Iranian defence system. While its facilities on the Persian Gulf coast and close to the border with Iran might be damaged in the early waves of US attacks, there would also be a very substantial base of support for the Guard, expressed by immediate improvements in morale, a greatly enhanced ability to recruit, and a determination to respond. Although US military action against Guard facilities might be undertaken to “warn off” the Guard from interfering in Iraq, the effect would almost certainly be shortlived, and the numerous links which already exist between Guard units and Iraqi Shi’a militias would be activated rapidly. Such demonstrable Iranian involvement in the Iraqi insurgency would result in an escalating US military response involving cross-border attacks on Iranian logistics. This would increase Iranian civilian casualties, cause economic disruption and also further increase internal Iranian support for the current regime.

Overall, and given the nature of the Iran/Iraq border, Iran would be in a very strong position to aid elements of the Iraqi insurgency in numerous ways, providing a wide range of armaments as well as personnel. This would give a substantial boost to an insurgency that, even three years after the termination of the old regime, is as active as ever.

International support: Given recent major long-term economic agreements between Iran and China, and also between Iran and India, as well as close links with Russia, a US attack would attract major criticisms, including from two of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – China and Russia. The current Russian administration might prefer privately to see US military action avoided, but it would be in a very difficult position in relation to many of its neighbouring allies if it were not to condemn US military action against Iran most strongly, especially if this escalated to a protracted conflict.

As of January 2005, there are some 250,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen deployed in support of combat, peacekeeping, and deterrence operations. This figure does not include those forces normally present in Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom or Japan unless bases at those locations are actively supporting a combat operation. Furthermore, tours of duty in these locations are routine and not considered hardship tours. If one were to include these forces the number of deployed troops worldwide would be around 350,000.

They didn't have better men, they just used a different stratagey that the US wasn't prepared for.

Iran is not as helpless as you think. They may not be able to completely stop a US invastion, but they certainly could make the US pay for attacking them.
The site is about the US attacking Iran to stop it from obtaining nuclear weapons, but I think the Iranian responses section is relevant here.
Not to mention, troops need to be kept at home...

ADDITION:
You know thats what they said about the Republican Gaurd in Iraq.  And guess what happened to them?
[right][snapback]526304[/snapback][/right]

They formed an insurgency that's killed 2,552 American troops, countless civillians and continues to destabilize the region and create anti-American sentiment throughout the Middle East?
