53. Your points are flawed
Certainly the USA could successfully strike them. But what targets would they strike? Do you think the US "intelligence" in Iran has much of a clue what needs hitting to avoid a damaging counterstrike? Even if Irans warheads can only reach Israel, that's pretty much USA as far as they're concerned anyway.

And after all the known targets are finnished with, what else can the USA do to Iran? Roll 300,000 troops accross the border like it did to Iraq? I'd like to see that.

It is saber rattling, but on both sides. Bush can pretty much rule out military action in Iran because the USA hasn't the resources or the will for it at the moment.
