U.S. can't invade Iran because they simply don't have the troops to do it. ---------------------------------------------------- That was part of his argument, but letting go of the ( supposed ) choke chain Iran has on the insurgents was the other. One possibility in my mind has been attack then immediately draft during the immediate hysteria. If Iran really has control over the insurgents as Tariq Ali says it might make that a lot harder to pull off if the number of dead U.S. troops went up tenfold in Iraq within days after attacking Iran. Anyway it was just one of many interesting things he said. The lecture is definitely worth listening to IMO.
But Bush is crazy enough to invade Iran even without the needed troops, and override all counsel. -------------------------------------------------- I think Bush has a hard time tying his shoes without Laura's help. How willing his advisors are to run head first into a brick wall now that our are faces are bloodied badly is a question that time will answer.
