The picture would be much different had the US not have so many troops and so much equipment still in the Red sea. Why?

>>The picture would be much different had the US not have so many troops and so much equipment still in the Red sea.<< Agreed. I just got off the phone with my mother, who was crying because she is worried about the planning, worried that we are, in her words (the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree here) "f-bleep-ing up." No matter how good a face we put on it, it's not good for us that the Turks diddled with us, stringing us along, dangling the plum, but it's also not good planning on our part. But, as I explained to my mother, we're coping, and we have other plans and they will work. But, she said, with tears in her voice, more of our boys will die. I tried to cheer her up by reading the Canadian story about cheering Iraqis blowing kisses, but she wouldn't cheer up. She said that if it went the other way, they'd be doing the same thing. She's a tough audience.
