We need to take it soon to IRAN and North Korea for within 5-7 years they will become verifiably Nuclear Powers.

These are the two great tests. How decisively and effectively we deal with them will send a message to our enemies. The question is: does America mean business or not? So far, that message has been tentative and unconvincing.

Two great tests....

Without a doubt they are! We must however be willing to use tacnukes and/or BOMB the place until there is NOWHERE to hide. Civilian casualties must be considered inevitable! Another IRAQ, as SUCESSFULL as it has been, would be devastating. [Daily deaths are fodder for the Dims and MSM and will eventually sway public opinion.] Every terrorist group in the world would descend on IRAN and another IRAQ would not be sustainable on our forces [at their present strength].

I believe Rumsfeld is staying for just this reason, to continue to modernize our forces, out sourcing military desk jobs etc, and train ALL troops to be battle ready.
