It doesn't matter. Bush isn't going to to anything to Iran OR Syria in an "election year".

We are already at war on two fronts. Are you suggesting we institute the draft so that we can wage war on a couple more at the same time? I'm not saying I'm opposed to that, just saying we don't have the resources as things now stand.

Not full scale war...but we should (and as far as we DON'T know we just might) have Special Ops and CIA in those countries and we need to be prepared to help if there are massive uprisings, as in Iran, and the mullahs and Syrian Ba'athtist start massacres.

Stuff like air power, etc. Not necessarily Marines.

I also want to see more public efforts to reign in Saudi Arabia.
