Good thinking. If Syria and Iran can tie up the US enough in Iraq and Afghanistan, The Arab League will feel free to move on Israel. As we have shrunk the already tiny Israel even smaller, they cannot take a first strike and survive. So the only option if the Arabs begin to move is for Israel to pull "The Samson Option" a nuclear first strike against the Arab League capitols.

One day soon Israel will have to decide if having six million Jews in the world is more important than having a few hundred million terrorists. May they have to courage to push that button for all our sakes, we don't...

Well....American forces can defend themselfve, British forces need a lawyer's permission, an invasion of Iranian NG is just the thing our joint ops with Iraqi army and police forces were for....

And if President Maliki asks for some help in stopping an Iranian invasion, those carriers won't just be sittin' offshore. The "Iranian navy" won't stand a chance of rescuing the mad mullahs.
