Its not a large enough number to stop infiltration or to quickly deal with a maximum effort at terror war by proxy. As for actual invasion, I don't think the new troops would be required to stop it. The attrition from air power would be large, and we do already have 130k soldiers on the ground, as well as the Iraqi armed forces. Which doesn't mean that the new soldiers would be useless against either terror war by proxy, or an invasion, in response to US bombing, but their movement in to Iraq isn't much evidence for the belief that there would be such a bombing campaign.
