#1 The war on terror is not over and is no were near over either. Look at a map and you will see the plan coming together. The US after the Clinton cuts just doenst have enough troops to invade and occupy the entire Arab world at once. So we are raging this war one nation at a time. Afghanistan first then Iraq. Does anyone realy beleive that if we had invaded Iran a much larger nation and a whole lot more dedicated that Iraq wouldnt be a huge problem and we would probably have to invade them aswell at the same time. At which point a draft would have been nessecary and Syria and who knows maybe even N. Korea China would be spurred into a bad dicision by our temporary weakness. The plan is working Afghanistan was the terrorist training camp had to go then Iraq the weak link was next also surounding Iran and splitting a Iran / Syria alliance. Once Iraq is pacified and the Iraqi army comes on line I expect a small US froce to defelect any Syrian ideas and then a RR and into Iran for the bulk of our forces. They are now expeirenced and have cut thier teeth on the weaker and now would be ready for the stronger with tried and true tatics. Not to mention the terrrorist will reinforcements will have a hard time getting into Iran now Afghanistan on the East Ocean on the South Iraq on the West and Turkey on the North with our new freinds the old soviet republics. Surrounded but it will be a sereous hard insurgent war in Iran a lot of rough terrain good for small infantry. But this senerio is a lot better than a huge border with a hostile Iraq green occupation troops and strong supported leadership with a dedicated suicide group. Not to mention the serious risk of a reginal war all at once the LLL's just think we are stretched thin now
