Darren, D.Long is absolutely right. Why would you call him a fool when he says "the US needs a staging area to build up logistics and support to maintain a very cumbersome machine. " ?

Darren, Derek is anything but a fool, and your outburst is unbecoming...

<<Complete numbscullery. You have absolutely no clue of what the USA is capable of if it focuses even 50% of it's might on a goal>> Name one Eurasian conflict the US has fought in an entirely hostile environment. It took 6 months to build up the critical mass of supply, logistics, force and support to mount a limited invasion into Kuwait and Iraq. And that was from friendly territory. To say that it is a mere nuisance to execute a major military operation from a flotilla of ships sitting off the coast of some belligerant Eurasian country is silly. I am sure Nuke, or Ron if he reads this post, would be able to better testify to the enormous back operations required.
