Good news for Bush - another country to stretch the armed forces even thinner on the ground.

Hasn't anyone figured out that the US right now can't do anything about Iran? Forces are already mobilized to something like 80%, and the remaining 20% is up for rotation to replace the 80% that are out there. The US cannot handle another battle anywhere, and those countries who would normally fear US pressure just don't feel it anymore.

Let's see how it goes...

We could quadruple our troops in 6 months and field enough competent troops to conquer the whole middle east, North Africa, all of Europe, and the whole Pacific Rim -- hey, just like we did in WWII.
