WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has been carrying out secret reconnaissance missions to learn about nuclear, chemical and missile sites in Iran in preparation for possible airstrikes there, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday. The effort has been under way at least since last summer, Hersh said on CNN's "Late Edition." In an interview on the same program, White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett said the story was "riddled with inaccuracies."

∙ 13y agoAmerica cannot even defeat a 3rd world country such as Iraqi or Afghanistan. The war with Iraqi and Afghanistan had been devastating to the USA economy.
Americas goal was always just to threaten Iran into military action so they would stop developing nuclear weapons but war with Iran is highly unlikely as Iran is a moderate country with a good economy.
War with Iran would destroy Americas economy and might even start World War 3.

Think about it this way.
Iraqi - 3rd world country (poor country)
Afghanistan - 3rd world country (poor country)
Iran - Good stable economy
If USA is losing a war against Iraqi and Afghanistan then how will they do against Iran?
The only way for USA to win the war would be to bombard the country to death and killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to win the war but every country would repell against America which even Americas allies would turn sides and fight against America.
