Gandalf and Sauron

[Elendur]

I will set one thing straight, and that is Sauron is not one of the Istari. The Istari were Maiar sent to Middle Earth with restrictions on their power and the same weaknesses that mortals had. The Istari were sent to Middle Earth in the Third Age, whereas Sauron had obviously been around since the beginnings of Ea. And Sauron had no restriction to how he could use his power.

This is kindof an odd topic to have a thread on anyways. Gandalf, or the other Istari, would not have directly assaulted Mordor. They could not have won.
