Certainly the Iranians know, and have designed their program to survive such an attack Questions like that depend on exact estimates of the other guys intel and capacities; those are the kind of estimates that get revised by watching actual operations. If you dismiss what the Marines just achieved in Fallujah, I doubt the mullahs do. The hope of every enemy of America is to promise enough casualties to deter the squeamish Americans; so the insurgents of Fallujah did; the estimated score is now 1200 to 60. Not good for the insurgent side. The challenge we face is to divide the leaders from the followers. I’m not sure we’re doing such a great job of that Why don't you ask the Afghans, they sound like they have been pretty well divided from the Taliban and Osama to me. They will never beat us on the battlefield, and they know it. They also know that the war of attrition is their strength and our weakness. Their intent in Fallujah was to achieve another Black Hawk Down. Did they?
