before Bush starts invading (or subverting) Syria, he needs a fair measure of success in Iraq. This may deter or delay action against Syria long enough for Bush to be out of office.

You really think that it will take until 2008??

My take is that we are just increasing the pressure on Syria, because we have the damning evience that Syria was in bed with Saddam, so we letting them know that we have the goods on them. Ultimately invading Syria doesn't make sense so it won't happen.

Iraq is the real deal and we will be very commited to insuring Iraq becomes a succesful prosperous country.
It has the natural resources to become a very prosperous country, far richer than Saudia Arabia.

And after Iraq is succesful the next domino to fall will be Iran.
