As a former Air Force pilot, and father of a Marine pilot, I can assure you we are only 'over committed' in the eyes of the press! I have first hand knowledge as to the abilities of the average Iranian fighter pilot. I will pit our worst F-15 pilot against anyone they have. Are your memories so short that you don't remember the gloom and doom the press put forth if we were to venture into Iraq.... the third or forth largest military in the World!
I've no doubt that we have air superiority over Iran, Iraq, etc. That's not the problem. The stretch is coming at the point of the boots on the ground. Three years after the invasion, we still can't pacify areas of Iraq that we have leveled/swept through multiple times. Bobing them again won't help.
