Re: And you quote stuff like this from prehistoric times and then tell me that Iraq has state-of-the-art Russian technology.

My point in quoting "stuff from prehistoric times" is to recall that, back in 2002-2003, Iraq too was cracked up to be equipped with Russia's latest, topnotch military gear --only to collapse ignominiously before US troops after three days of fighting.... Hence there's no reason for Iran to fare better. Oh, sure, Iran will activate her Hezbollah and Hamas surrogates --so what? As I said after the 2006 Israeli campaign into Lebanon, it took Hezbollah about 1,000 rockets to kill 44 Israelis... A single Palestinian suicide-bomber blowing himself up in an Israeli bus could kill as many Israelis on a single day... Hezbollah's efficiency is like firing a 105mm Howitzer to kill a fly.
