If we're going to do something, it has to be soon...before dem. controlled congress puts a stop to anything sensible in the way of national defense.

Just caught something on Fox...that Bush had told Iran to stop messing with Iraq.

Basically it's a Civil War in Islam.

Basically it's a Civil War in Islam.

Except in Iraq (different reasons), the Shiites and Sunnis coexist with no problems. Both sects loath the Wahhabis and the fundamentalist Sunnis (al Qa'eda, Moslem Brotherhood, etc.)

If an inter-war rid Islam of these (minority) factions, which is very plausible, then the WoT is won almost without us firing a shot, so to speak.

Don't forget the Assets (B1,B2, B52 Bombers that do not need to be forward deployed any longer. All of these assets can be deployed from Kansas or Nebraska.

While true, being employed directly from the USA greatly decreases their sortie rate, maintenance in commission rate, and flexibility. The closer they are based to the action, the more effectively they can be used - especially in an intense campaign.

If we go to war against Iran, it will be an intense campaign.

Isn't a squadron of F-22s on the way to, or already in Okinawa? That's right near Iraq according to one war "hawk".

And I look forward to smiling after each one of them. I know you're right. Good points.
