Iraq: Battleground for terror:
The appearance of weakness in American forces in Iraq is a magnet for outside terrorists and their organizations. Press reports that Syria and Iran are encouraging terrorists to attack there can be used to advantage.
It will consume their funds, cost them trained people, and divert their planning efforts from major attacks elsewhere. They will meet the finest and best prepared Military who are now familiar with the ground.
Far better and more politically acceptable than having to invade Syria or Iran to access terrorist bases.
The US is now 1/2 a world closer to the enemy camps-on their very doorstep. Now the enemy has the longer supply lines and communications problems. And we have friendly Iraqis( there are some) who can identify strangers
in their midst so they can be found and hunted down.
