Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "Maybe Carl can be useful and tell us how many Americans are stationed in the region right now in the effort to contain Iraq, and Saddam's proxies, and the Iranian mullah's proxies, and the Islamists. How much money does it cost us to contain them, as well."

(a) A hell of a lot less than you think it is, given that you believe that US forces are about to go over the border in large quantity, LOL.

(b) A hell of a lot less than a long-term guerilla war would cost the US. The last time we got sucked into a losing guerilla war in Asia it left this country in tatters.
