Take to the streets and get shot down or beaten to a pulp?

Blame the Democrats who were not consulted?

Bitch about it on DU?

Beats me.

So I repeat. If Bush and his thugs attack Iran, what do we do about it?

On edit: Firing an admiral who was totally against it should give us a big hint as to what (might be) just around the corner.

6. That must be a damn big corner, I have been hearing that the Iran invasion
is just around it for well over 2 years. Can you measure that corner in business hours?

A cheetos run at the local 7-11?
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Well at least they're starting to realize they aren't really serious about taking to the streets. That's SO 1960's.

Oooh, that's gonna leave a mark!

Seriously, we'd have to double the size of our ground forces to be able to invade Iran, and that wouldn't suffice to stay for a long war.  The place is twice the size of Iraq and heavily populated, and the major cities are spread around rather than being relatively concentrated like Iraq's.  A ground invasion, anything beyond a large scale incursion and exit, just isn't in the cards militarily.

If we head into Iran, then you DUmmies can STFU and let the adults take care of business. That's what you can *do* about it.

It would seem to me that the only thing that would work would be some covert action inside the country, to make life harder for the mullahs . . .

Well, you could activate the DU Think Tank:
