#1 Debka reported that the Syrians had moved their 3rd Army and 8th Army from the Iraq border South to menace Lebanon, leaving the border open to any terrorists who want to cross into Iraq.

Which also means that any US forces who are idle might join with these Iraqi troops. This would send a message that if Syria decided to invade Lebanon or attack Israel, that its Iraqi border would be undefended.

If we have to leave Iraq soon anyway we could be good Democrats and minimize or CO2 emissions and debark through Latakia instead of Kuwait, at least for our East Coast troops.
