I think it will take years to prepare the domestic political situation for war with either of those countries. Why would the Bush administration go to war with Syria? There are many alternatives - economic, political, diplomatic, special ops, ... to be tried before putting a single American in harms way. There is 0 upside to a war with Syria. The people crying for war with Syria or who are puking on Bush for getting ready for a war on Syria have one track minds. If Syria continues to be belligerent, Bush could go to the other leaders in the Arab League and say, "How long do you want me to keep my 250,000 troops in Iraq? The sooner you clean up your own messes, the sooner we can leave." Make supporting terrorism and WMD a problem for those in the region. Time to use all that leverage you earned in Iraq, not squander it over Syria. Unless Syria attacks the US first, there will be no war in Syria, even then it will be a 'devestating proportional' attack but not full out war. Paul
