Bu...On this one, I think you are absolutely right. Bush is increasing the naval presence in the Persian Gulf to 2 carrier groups, and 2 amphibious assault groups; more than enough power to defeat the Iranian navy and airforce, and gain control of access to and from the Iranian coast.<br /><br />Iran doesn't need to be invaded, just militarily and economically neutralized so that it can no longer support the terrorists in Iraq and Lebanon. If Iran is beaten, Syria will fold.<br /><br />In terms of strategy while fighting the current crop of Islamic terrorists, it might not even be a bad move.<br /><br />Does Bush, however, have the poitical capital at home to do this? Prob'ly not. Look for one of two things:<br />1) Unannounced, low-key attacks on Iran, or<br />2) A Tonkin-like incident in the Str of HormuzMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314897574215489135noreply@blogger.com
