If we go into Iran and then the “insurgents” ramp up fighting on the other side we could get squeezed. I like the idea of 100% control before we move up the food chain.

“I like the idea of 100% control before we move up the food chain.”
I don’t see 100% control happening with Iran backing the “Insurgents” through alliance with Syria and factions in other ME Nations we aren’t supposed to know about.
Iran has to be stopped to effectively control the ME situation with or without Saudi Arabia.

I wonder if this nifty intel report was compiled by a protege of Valerie Plame perhaps with an on scene visit by some former diplomat with special knowledge of the area.

The U.S. government alleges that elements of Tehran's military are equipping and training militias involved in sectarian killings, roadside bombings of U.S. troops and other violence in IraqDo you notice that everything in this report and in the previous report on Iraq is reported as fact EXCEPT for the issue of Iran equipping terrorists in Iraq, which is reported as merely an "allegation?"

If we won why are we still losing men and women.
It's called war and one of the unfortunate results of war are casualties. Please show me a war where combat troops were not lost.

We went into Iraq to get the terrorist. The enemy has not changed just their tactics.
To: Man50D
Please show me the ticket parade for our military. Then we have won.
To: Orange1998
Actually, we went to Iraq to get Saddam Huessain and to resolve the issues raised in the war that had been continuing since 1991.
The war was to eliminate Saddam and to stabilize the Gulf.
The current war results from alliances developed after the invasion and is in fact a different enemy related to Al Qeada and the forces defeated in Afghanistan.

The war was to eliminate Saddam and to stabilize the Gulf. 1. Eliminate Saddam - Done
2. Stabilize the Gulf - you got to be kidding. The middle east has been at war long before America was born. Bush Sr made the right call.
To: Orange1998
You continue to misunderstand. The elimination of Iraq as a continued threat will and has stabalized the Gulf. Iran is not trying to slip into the vacuum left when Saddam/Iraq is gone.
When it all gets sorted out, Iraq will join the Gulf community.
The stabilazation of the Gulf is a completely seperate issue from the “mideast”,Palestinian/Lebanon’Syria/Israel ongoing war.

Iran will not achieve lasting reform unless an internal revolt has mullahs strung up from every street light. Otherwise they will just get one set replacing another set
