I don't want to see war. Been there, done that.

I do want to see Iran neutered. They are a terrorist state. Unfortunately, it will take conflict to do it. And unfortunately, they won't cry "uncle" until their asses are kicked up between their eyeballs. It's an Arab thing. You're not beat as long as you deny you're beat.

In the end, Iran loses here. Politically, economically, and militarily (if they're that stupid). It's been a long time since Iran got their ass handed to them in a conflict. Maybe they've forgotten how that feels, or don't care. In any event, if they continue on their present course, humility is coming, and in a big way.

Matters not to me who delivers it. But it will get delivered.

The irony of Americans calling another state "terrorist" and saying they need humility is not lost on me. Let's put Iran's body count against ours

Where is your sanctimonious outrage for Saudi Arabia? See, this is the problem. Saudi Arabia is the biggest terror sponsor in the world, yet we play footsie with them.

They have a gopro probably. The military isn't going to show you that the cameras on our drones or planes can read the writing on a cigarette.

Why not? What military advantage would the US be giving up by showing crystal clear images instead of those Loch Ness Monster/Bigfoot images we saw a few weeks ago?

You don't need a Bass Tracker when you've got quarter billion dollar drones...

Sure you need a Bass Tracker if you want to run small aperture low F number wide angle imagery with limited atmospheric artifacts. Which is what they did. The Bass Tracker enables usage of a $350 camcorder type of equipment.

A quarter billion dollar drone enables imaging from much longer away but you still have physics to deal with on resolution and artifacts.

I’ve gone over this before in this thread but if you want to be the Iraqi Information Minister here hey you be you Ras.

"Persians " or Iranians as every one except themselves calls them, are much lighter skinned than their arab neighbors. Some have green and blue eyes as well, the women can be quite beautiful when they dont have that middle eastern "camel hump" type nose. I have worked outside for 25 years plus, my skin is considerably darker than many people from Iran. They take pride in being different from their Arab neighbors, and dont get along with Saudis in particular.

"Iran's body count against ours" in what reference plane? Middle East conflict? Military action, or internal purges? You got any idea what the numbers were in the Iran / Iraq war?

Are we counting Christians, homosexuals, political dissidents, and "non-believers"? Do we include chemical weapons, or just white cops -vs- black males on traffic stops?

Give us your definition of "terrorist", Huff. Then perhaps we can put your comment in perspective. Probably not, but perhaps.

If you think Iran holds the moral high ground, then post the facts. Snowballs...and snowflakes...melt under the light of the Sun. So be a rock. Post the facts.

Iranians killing non-Iranian civilians vs. US killing non-American civilians. If you want to count the Iraq/Iran war where we gave Iraq chemical weapons, let's do it.

Neither holds the moral high ground. I'm not defending Iran, I'm showing you the beam in your eye. The idea that we have moral high ground is only going to lead to more trouble for everybody, including ourselves.
