    Let's talk reality

    Look, attacking Iran would be stupid and unwarranted, but when articles like this are written it just makes it appear that the left has no clue.

    Iran would not be able to acheive territorial advances against US forces that it was unable to acheive against Iraq during the Iraq/Iranian war. They wouldn't even try, they'd simply rely on Shias in Iraq to disrupt supplies.
