Israel will probably invade Syria because they say Syria is providing Hezbollah with rockets, but if they do, than Iran is jumping in. Then boom the US is in!!

Damn we're good!!
The seemingly inevitable invasion of Iran and Syria is exactly why I think the US has built all the military bases in Iraq.

It factors into what is called the Force Ration. And that is only one factor in an entire set that our military uses to determine whether it can win a war.

And they are now saying more troops are needed in Iraq to fight insurgents, should this be true, I would think it careless to then invade another country further streching our Military strength.

However I am not convinced this is actually the case. Seems reasonable to me to consider that the extra troops are being sent in order to invade Iran and Syria. I would also look at a draft being instilled should we actually get involved with this.

Peace.
