Iran says US too tied up to fight

And how many troops would we free up in Iraq by taking away the Iranian influence over that nation? All the fragments we pull out of our boys in Iraq these days have a "Made in Iran" sticker on them. Getting consensus for a war with Iran would not be as easy as Iraq, but it would be possible, especially with the Europeans (all of them) on board with this one. We would have a lot more support for this attack, if it came down to it, then we did in Iraq, foreign and domestic. It would however take a much greater effort on the part of the American public this go around, no more of this "my contribution to the war effort is ignoring the news" attitude we see today, but rather support from the wallet. I doubt it would require rationing, but special taxes to pay for the war effort and a raise in taxes just to help cover the deficit this would cause in government spending probably isn't out of the question.
