Hey, I was just going to print that--lol!

I don't see how Turkey can support the US war efforts when it's probably planning its own invasion, banking that the US won't kick 'em out. And the US probably won't kick 'em out in the belief that Turkey and Iran will end up in conflict competing for the northern Iraqi zone. This then opens the door and gives the US an opportunity to back Turkey as a pretext to go to war against Iran, eventually leading to the collapse of the Iranian regime.

I'm still betting an outside shot that Iran, fearing it's next on Bush's list, will reinforce Baghdad and that Syria, also fearing it might be next, may jump in against the American troops as well. That's a combined air force of about 1,000 planes, and Iranian troop reinforcements are not all that far from Baghdad.

I truly do fear a Custer's Last Stand type action could happen should all of the MiddleEast nations converge upon the Americans forces. And were anything like this to happen than there'd probably be nuclear considerations via either the US or Israel and ridding the scene from weapons of mass destruction could become an arena for weapons of mass destruction.
