I think that after "Mission Accomplished II", the Revolutionary Guards and other insurgents will dissolve into the crowd, a la the resistance movement in Iraq, and begin a low-intensity insurgency that will slowly bleed us to death over the coming months and years.

They will have a continuous path from Iraq - Iran - to Afganistan. It would take a lot of troops to guard that corridor. I don't think Togo and Camaroon are going to supply enough troops.

Iran has had 20 years of peace and high oil prices to build their military. I'm sure we could "take" them, but how many Persian Gulf tankers and oil production facilities would they take out first?
