now Tangerine Turdlapper and his toady Bolton think they can do something in Iran.

Iran is huge-- over twice the size of Afghanistan and mostly mountains. 81,000,000 million people in 636,000 square miles.

BTW, 636, 000 square miles is the size of Alaska. Imagine the invasion force needed for that. We'd need at least one more tax cut to pay for it.

And a war there would no doubt shut off the Persian Gulf-- how about gas prices then?

I don't fear a declaration of war on Iran-- what I fear is another WW1 fuckup that starts an unintentional war.
