Excuse me, the US is getting its asss kicked!? What world do you live in? Things are going well in Iraq and would be better in Afgan if the UN were not mixed up in it.
First the Straight of Hormuz will not be closed for long, for any reason. The world does depend on shipments of oil thru it and consequently, the world will do everything necessary to insure those shipments go unhindered by Iran or anyone else. The US need not be involved because everyone else will be on it right away.
Obama is a communist, not a pacifist, and as far as I know not opposed to use force for achieving his ends. A newly elected Obama (God I hope not), will be even more rash than GW because he is setting a foundation to govern and cannot be seen as weak. I say Obama is MORE likely to nuke the Iranians than GW is. In any case Iran loses big.
I predict that Iran will be dealt with decisively before GW leaves office, enough to influence the election and guarantee that McCain will win.
