Hi Dale,

Re: Iran would be the same problem as Iraq multiplied by several magnitudes, not to mention double or triple the price tag in lives and money.

Iran's military budget runs about $9 Billion per year. Syria's is about $1 Billion, and it is probably considered more vexatious by the war planners in Tel Aviv.

My bet is that we're getting a head fake on Iran, and that Bush's next move will be to march on Damascus, a far easier target than Tehran.

Bush knew just how weak an enemy Saddam Hussein's regime would prove to be in Iraq. In the typical fashion of the schoolyard bully, Bush will be seeking out the weakest enemy possible to attack next.
