Quote from TM1:
My strategy for dealing with Iran (in case any of you here are bored US Generals):
Form some undercover sectarian groups in Iraq, have them hit some low value uninhabited targets once in a while, using the proper enemy equipment, gain some street cred so to speak. After a few months allow them to capture a weapon capable of landing in Aminadinjads (sp...and I don't care) living room and have the loss leaked to the press in an embarassing manner. Feign great concern, and try not to laugh when the 'idiot' terrorists accidently fire towards Iran.
Then maybe a war between Iran and Iraq, the US says it can no longer commit the resources needed and leaves and let's the loud mouth Saudi King fix the problems in his own backyard.
Lot's of detail and planning involved, but you get the idea.
