Maybe, maybe not.

I don't think anyone is really expecting or advocating for a war that looks like Iraq. The question at hand from what I can see is "should we launch missiles at Iran". Even Ted hasn't been advocating for boots on the ground.

So, what would that look like? I don't really know, but I think the factors which are primarily relevant to that question aren't "how big is the population" is it more, "what is Iran's capability to launch missile attacks at the US or areas of US interest". 

The US already has 40 to 50 thousand boots on the ground in the ME...

A) Sorry if my language wasn't clear. By boots on the ground, I meant "In active combat in a warzone". 

B) Also to be clear, I never said that missile strikes would be safe for anyone. I am saying that is the primarily relevant question.

To summarize my point: Any celebration of that dogtrash Tucker/Ted interview beyond "Lol, the right is eating itself" is likely giving Tucker far too much credit.
