Things just keep spiraling so rapidly. I did notice on two of the cable news channels the caption, "Iran and Syria are we already at war with them?"

Is 24 enough to level Iran? I mean its probably enough for Tehran, but all of Iran? I doubt it.

No, it's certainly not. Especially since Iran is NOT Iraq. They are much more powerful, and they have all kinds of anti-aircraft guns/missiles from Russia and others.

But 24 fighters might be part of a mission -- they might have a role to play in what is to come.

It looks like all the nuclear subs we have parked outside Iran right now might launch satellite guided missiles at the anti-aircraft missile sites, then the bombers will have a "starter" (of safe cover) as it were, so they can do their thing.

There are probably more details in the actual plan -- and I'm not a military analyst. But the part about the nuclear subs I GOT from a military analyst :)

It also depends on what those planes are carrying. Tactical nukes?

Fact is I heard from someone in the military right now, that we are already on the ground in Iran. You know how they send in the special forces before anything else, at least I think I am using the correct term.

That doesn't surprise me.

As IF the government was open and honest (transparent) about anything...yeah right!
