U.S. could use Georgia as bridgehead to attack Iran - Rogozin

BRUSSELS, September 17 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia would be an ideal bridgehead for a U.S. invasion of Iran, Russia’s NATO envoy said Wednesday.

The United States and Israel have consistently refused to rule out the possibility of military action against Iran over its refusal to halt its uranium enrichment.

At a news conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels Dmitry Rogozin said that Russian intelligence had obtained information indicating that the Georgian military infrastructure could be used for logistical support of U.S. troops if they launched an attack on Iran.

“This is another reason why Washington values Saakashvili’s regime so highly,” Rogozin said, adding that the United States had already started “active military preparations on Georgia’s territory” for an invasion of Iran.

“Georgia’s president is ready to make his nation a virtual hostage of a risky military gamble,” he said.

Iran has been in a prolonged diplomatic standoff with the West over the country’s nuclear program.

The Islamic Republic is currently under three sets of relatively mild UN Security Council sanctions for defying demands to halt uranium enrichment, which it says it needs purely for electricity generation despite Western accusations that the program is geared toward weapon production.

Tehran has stated that the United States and Israel lack the ability to attack Iran to try to destroy its nuclear installations, and promises a powerful retaliation to any act of aggression against the country.

What is your favorite color?

lmfao, why use there isntead of iraq or afghanistan? besides it will be naval and AF to start, the ground war doesnt need a "starting spot"

does everyone forget too, that iraq nearly wiped iran off the map, and remember how quick we dealt with their army? yeah ok. iran. cant wait for those 2 wweeks to happen.

2 weeks... but won't they resort to guerilla tactics as well?


2 weeks... LOL!, that was funny though.

I don't know, but maybe, just maybe, by having the Georgian front, it would allow the West/Israel to attack everything all at once, in kind of a multiple front shock and awe campaign.

well israel might help, but theyre not as effective as everyone thinks, and eventually they ARE going ot pull us into war with iran, they can get guerilla all they want though, the israelis wont take that ****,lol.

Well, the Zionist portion of Israels government strike me as being the people who would pull a nuke first strike. Problem is we've given them so many weapons over the years, how do we know some of those aren't Nuclear weapons or the materials needed to make them?

An occupying force is always at a disadvantage when fighting a guerilla army, because it becomes impossible to tell the innocent apart from the enemy. Then it becomes kill first and ask questions later, which leads to a complete radicalization of a population.

then you remove the population and move your people in. expansionism! lol

Ah, I get it, Genocide and empire building.

yuppers! lmao.

Awww man... Do we have to even consider that as a possibility?

It doesn't seem much fun from the business end of looting and conquering, I don't think I could endorse inflicting that punishment on other people.
