All he has to do is ship the captured IEDs to the Arab nationalists in the western Iranian provinces.

I say yes.
I say we have easy plausible deniability. How many bad news Baathists would love to get out of prison free and spend some time disrupting civil affairs in Iranian communities.
You could probably do the same thing with some Shiites for Syria.
I hope this is true.

If he did, then it's no different from the "war" we waged on the Soviet Union and her allies for decades.

Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity and stabilizing the region in the face of extremist challenges. This begins with addressing Iran and Syria.
That should have been a no-brainer from the beginning. But, we wanted to be politically correct from the beginning and we didn't want to expand the war and we certainly didn't want to upset Syria or Iran or any other middle-east countries. Fighting a war cautiously only extends the war and brings on unintended consequences and some harsh lessons which Bush seems to be finally learning and facing.

Works for me. Insert sniper teams, and aim for the generals.

I hope so, now let's let the secret out in the form of an all out bombing raid or targeted nukes.

What a stupid question.
Back in September of 2001, President Bush declared war on any and all who harbor terrorists.
If that now includes Iran and Syria, well...they can't say they weren't warned.

OK Mr. President. Start sinking the Iranian Navy. make their ships slip into the deep in the dark of night. I'd say sink the Syrian Navy too, but I'm not sure they have one.
I'll have more advice later on. Ta Ta.

IIRC Congress did not put a location restriction on his authorization to take out the terrorists.

The President may have started a new secret, informal war against Syria and Iran without the consent of CongressThe better question to ask is 'has Syria and Iran declared war against the United States by supplying insurgents and weapons to kill American soldiers in Iraq?'

The media is asking the wrong question. Per usual.
It's not that we've declared proxy war on Iran or Syrian. They've engaged US in a proxy war since 3/03, and I'm sure an argument could be made that they engaged us even sooner, but we didn't notice.
